Massages are done one at a time. The massage therapist comes here just for you. Because I value and respect my massage therapists, I only book one therapist for a couple. So we do one at a time. This gives the first person, usually the woman, a chance to soak in the tub after her massage and get ready while the man is having his massage.
We often schedule massage times before check in time to be able to fit everything in during your visit. If your room is ready before check in, you certainly may go into your room. Should your room still need finishing touches, we invite you to enjoy tea on the front porch or in our parlor while waiting.
Occasionally we run a little late because of circumstances beyond our control. We ask that you be felexible with your scheduled activities following your massage.
I sometimes hear "Oh, I want a massage for my partner because it is a surprise but I wonder if I should get one too". My response is always, "What a lovely gift to give your loved one - a relaxed, patient and more loveable you!".
So yes, consider your relaxed attitude as a bonus gift to your partner.

Appointments
Please allow at least one week's notice for an appointment.
Please be considerate and arrive early.
Should you be running late, your massage therapist will wait no longer than 20 minutes
because this will throw off her schedule for other appointments.
Thank You
Massages are scheduled at 8:45,10:00AM, noon,1:15, 3:00, 4:15PM, 7:00PM, 8:15PM,. If your appointment is before your check in time and your room is ready you may go right into your room. Should your room still need to be attended to, you may relax on the front porch, walk the grounds or enjoy tea in the parlor.
Massages are done in a private, quiet atmosphere and one at a time.
My therapists travel here just for you, so I ask one therapist to do both of you. This is only fair to her and gives the ladies time to get ready for dinner while the gentleman has his massage.

Therapeutic Massage Techniques
Massage therapy offers many benefits that include easing soft tissue pain and tightness, reducing stress, calming the mind and boosting the immune system. It also provides safe, soothing touch and increases awareness of the mind/body connection
Prior to your massage, please feel free to share any concerns about your session with the massage therapist
Swedish massage is the most common type and is used to increase relaxation and blood circulation and decrease muscle tension.
The more superficial layers of muscles are worked on with a variety of long strokes, kneading, friction and vibration.
Deep tissue massage works specific muscles, both superficial and deep, in a region of the body to release chronic tension patterns. The work is done slowly and deeply and with precision and sensitivity.
Myofascial massage uses very slow strokes to relax and soften fascia, a type of connective tissue. The therapist and client co-create space in the client's body so muscles and other structures can funtion more optimally.
Most of our massage therapists are trained in all of the above techniques. If you have a request for a specific technique, please let us know in advance so that we can match you up with the right massage therapist.
Reiki Energy Work
A field of energy surrounds everone's physical body. The state of this energy affects the well-being of the individual. It can be accessed by different techniques including reiki -a healing touch.
Reiki is an energy technique where a gentle laying hands on the body transmits universal energy to balance the client's energy field. It promotes deep relaxation while healing on all of the body's levels: physical, mental,emotional and spiritual.. It is not for the practioner to decide what is to be healed but to let the energy of the Universe come through her hands and heal what needs to be healed. No promises are made or expected.
One hour treatment Cost $65
From my experience receiving massages, I felt that all the wonderful work done by the Therapist was totally undone when I had to jump back into the car and rejoin the mad race
So I have set up a wonderful experience for you toreceive a massage or Reiki treatment and then relax with a loved one or just sit and talk with one of us and soak up the Tranquility
of the
Yellow Turtle Inn
It makes a wonderful Girl Friend's Day Out
or
a memorable afternoon with a loved one
or
just time to get away with your own company
If you really want to do it right then we suggest ordering a
Catered Candlelit Dinner for two following your massage and roses waiting in your room.
What an Incredible Date!
Enter into another perception of your world
Picture taken at the center of Our Labyrinth where you might wish to walk before or following your massage
It's a very peaceful, meditative walk
After your massage, savor the stillness with a meditative walk in our nature friendly Labyrinth.
Then perhaps enjoy a quiet moment with a cup of herbal tea under the tree canopy on the upper deck or just sitting on the wrap around front porch watching the fields of wheat grow.
Cranial Sacral Work
CRANIAL SACRAL THERAPY (CST) is a potent tool using the functions of the Cranial Sacral system. It is an effective form of bodywork and of Neuromuscular Therapy which uses extremely gentle movements to unlock tension and relieve pain. There are no rapid adjustments, painful contortions, or deep muscle probing.
As your Cranial Sacral system comes into balance, you may feel a release of accumulated stress and a general sense of well-being. Some specific complaints and physical problems may also clear up with Cranial Sacral work.
Cranial Sacral Therapy are sometimes effective in shifting emotional holding patterns and draining accumulated stresses in the nervous system. Clients often experience relief from headaches and other problems located in the head, jaw, neck, pelvis, and diaphragm. Each experience is different for each person.
We encourage you to book a combination Cranial Sacral Work and Massage for a total experience
