Charlene’s Signature Massage:  Intuitive Massage with Charlene

If you have suffered with chronic pain, tried everything and nothing seems to work then this massage is for you!

This massage is a technique created by Charlene after 20+ years of studying different modalities. 

Many people refer to this massage as "Massage with Therapy" and say that this is "Intense work" as the work allows you to connect the mind and body to the degree that the body releases the pain of the past so you can move forward into the life you have been wanting to live.  

Medical Massage

Is a therapeutic massage prescribed by a physician and performed following the directives of that physician.  Medical Massage does not refer to any specific treatment methods as various massage protocols and modalities may be used depending upon the individuals medical condition.  

Sessions are focused on the problem and working with you to improve, if not eliminate the issue therefore this massage is outcome-focused verses time-focused.

Meridian Massage

A massage technique that takes a holistic approach to health and happiness based on Classical Chinese Medicine and Taoism (the root of Classical Chinese Medicine).  

Meridian Massage combines the massage experience with use of acupressure points and meridians (energy pathways) to assist the body in releasing any energetic (Qi) imbalances.

The therapy utilizes many of the strokes and techniques as a Swedish or deep tissue massage, however it is more specific to balancing all of your systems.

Rivers Edge

This fabulous massage therapy incorporates the healing and relaxing benefits of a Swedish massage with the soothing healing benefits of hot Himalayan salt stones.  

River's Edge helps you take the edge off as you sink deeper into a relaxed state while releasing any muscle tension and repairing damaged soft tissue throughout the body.

Lomi Lomi Massage

A traditional Hawaiian massage/Hawaiian healing practice that works through the tension and trauma in the soft tissues with the intention of reaching down to the bones, tapping into the mana, which is our life force energy.

Lomi Lomi means "to kneed and make soft".

Reflexology 

Reflexology is know as zone therapy, an alternative medical practice involving the application of pressure to specific points on the feet and hands. 

The theory behind reflexology is that areas of the feet and/or hands correspond/reflex to specific organs and systems of the body.

Reflexology as a stand alone modality or included within a massage has many healing benefits such as: boost immune system, get over colds and bacterial infections, clear up sinus issues, recover from back problems and so much more.

Cupping

Cupping massage is an alternative technique to deep tissue massage.

Cupping involves the application of silicone cups to the body which allows for a deep pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscles.

The purpose of deep massage is to help break up and get rid of scar tissue from previous injuries and adhesion (stuck together tissue) from the stresses of daily living.

Benefits of cupping include, enhanced circulation, relieves pain, removes "heat" and pulls out the toxins that linger in your body's tissue(s). 

Cups may leave red marks in the area where they cups were placed

Mother to Be Massage

This massage enhances the function of the muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue.
