Services
An Elevated Experience
Full Body Massage
This massage is designed to meet the client’s needs at the client’s level of comfort. Based in Swedish massage, using long, flowing strokes and addressing the full body. Deep tissue massage is applied as needed, at the client’s comfort level. This can be a basic relaxation massage or a very targeted “troubleshooting” massage.
CranioSacral Therapy
This is a deeply relaxing bodywork session which involves light pressure and long hold applications of the bones of the head, sacrum and more. This service releases tension held in the fascia of the head, neck and body. After tension is released, cerebrospinal fluid can flow more freely, promoting deep relaxation and, often times, deep physical and emotional healing can occur.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage is a warm and wonderful way to access muscle relaxation. Black basalt stones are used due to their unique ability to retain heat and smooth, polished surface. With long gliding strokes, the client can relax and enjoy. This service also includes hands on massage of the muscles to make sure the client’s deep muscle needs are met.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing, a type of alternative medicine. Reiki uses a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which Universal, healing energy is transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional and physical healing.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a very relaxing and detailed massage of the feet and sometimes the hands and ears as well. Using ancient Chinese meridian theory, it is believed that blockages can be released, allowing a better flow of “chi”, or energy throughout the body systems.

Hillary 2019
I am a massage enthusiast and I have had many massages in my lifetime. Today I had my first massage with Lizzy and I must say, she gave me one of the BEST massages I have ever had. From the moment she placed her hands on me I knew I was in for more than a massage; more like a deeply healing and nourishing experience of body and soul...and that is exactly what she delivered. Lizzy is a gifted and intuitive therapist. Her touch and technique is exceptional, and she incorporates complementary modalities such as cupping and essential oils to make the whole experience that much more heavenly. Just as the name suggests, this is truly Heart-centered massage. Do something kind for yourself and make an appointment with Lizzy. I can’t wait for my next one!
