Just as physical fitness conditions the body and spiritual awareness nourishes the soul, massages and other body therapies offer benefits to free the body and open the mind. With daily stress, emotional pain, or physical discomfort, many of us ignore ourselves when it comes to the therapeutic treatments that can help us become more aware of the ways we can relate to our bodies. Until we experience the release and relaxation that massages or body treatments can bring, we can never truly experience the opening of our bodies, minds, and souls.

In addition to being fun and invigorating, the relaxing and luxurious essential massage techniques we offer can provide tangible benefits to both men and women. Our Metropolis blend of essential aroma-therapeutic oils and essential lotions can help restore and recondition your skin's tone and elasticity, while enhancing your energy. Energy enhancement is a major factor when it comes to combating the stress and tension many of us have come to accept as normal.


A regular massage regimen can help enhance mental capacity, flexibility, emotional strength and endurance. This combination will help you look vibrant and maintain a higher quality of life - whatever your age. Explore our wide variety of massage treatments designed for every taste and comfort level.

About Your Massage:

· Scheduling Your Massage - A morning or mid-day massage can help to give your body a stimulating warm up for a physically active or mentally challenging day. An evening or after-dinner massage will prepare you for an easy evening or restful, relaxed sleep.

· Shower - Take a shower before your massage to enhance your relaxation as well as cleanse the epidermis preparing it for the absorption of our essential creams & aroma-therapeutic lotions andoils.

· Consulting with your Therapist - Before you begin your massage, inform your therapist which areas you would like him or her to focus on, as well as any areas to avoid due to injury or discomfort. If you experience pain or discomfort at any time, inform your therapist.

· What to Wear - For most massages, undress completely and lie face down on the therapy table under the sheets provided for you. Your therapist keeps most of your body draped throughout your massage service.

· Technique & Pressure - If you feel the pressure of your massage is beyond the level of 7 or 8 on a pain scale of 1 to 10, inform your massage therapist right away. Deeper is not always better.

· Lie Back & Relax - Breathe deeply and relax as much as possible. Let your tensions and worries fade with each breath. Allow your body and mind to be quiet. Cell phones and pagers are to be turned off. We will accept no excuse.

· NOTE: - If you suffer from GERD (Gastro Esophogeal Reflux Disease), Acid Reflux, or Heartburn, it may be advisable to bring an antacid with you in case you experience discomfort while lying flat. We do not recommend replacing medications prescribed for GERD with an over-the-counter antacid. We simply suggest bringing an antacid with you, should the prescribed medication not work in a timely manner for the comfort during massage. Please consult your physician before taking any over-the counter medications in conjunction with prescribed medications.

· NOTE: - Remember, you will be massaged on the therapy table anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 minutes. It is advisable to visit the restroom prior to your service to avoid any discomfort later in the session.

· NOTE: - To enhance your circulatory system and help to hydrate your body, it is advisable to drink a generous amount of water immediately after your massage.
