Full Fusion Massage
I reach deep into my "bag of tricks" to offer several different modalities during a Full Fusion Massage. This service is custom-made to meet your needs and take it up a few notches! I often choose to include full-body cupping and hot stones, however, you may choose two different treatments like gua sha, table Thai, cold stones, Reiki, reflexology, CBD products; exfoliation. Don't forget add-ons like a facial or scalp massage!
CBD Massage
CBD (cannabidiol) oil has a huge range of health benefits and uses, including reducing pain, soothing anxiety, fighting chronic diseases, improving mood, eliminating depression, preventing inflammatory arthritis, protecting and enhancing the immune system, balancing the metabolism, aiding sleep disorders, and healing the skin, among others. With that said... CBD oil and Massage are a "one-two-punch"!!
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
The lymphatic system is an integral part of the immune system, bathing the body’s tissues with lymph, a clear liquid which collects bacteria, viruses, metabolic debris, etc. Lymph is then channeled to lymph nodes, where the foreign substances are destroyed by various white blood cells, or lymphocytes. The spent lymph and debris are then collected by the circulatory system and flushed out of the body via the urinary system. I dry brush the body prior to this service.
Raindrop Healing Session
The raindrop technique is a process of applying therapeutic essential oils to the client’s spine, and feet. Sessions generally last about an hour, but the benefits last a week or longer. The technique was developed by combining different holistic practices. This creates a synergistic effect throughout the body, offering a powerful and therapeutic effect. This modality may leave you sitting in a chair or your vehicle until your energy comes back. Needless to say it's SO relaxing!
Therapeutic Massage
At Roots & Branches, a Therapeutic Massage is geared to your individual needs. One day your body/mind/spirit may need relaxation-focused bodywork, however, during your next appointment, you may need trigger point therapy, myofascial release, or perhaps PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation).... With this choice, you may receive deep tissue (intentionally deep, slow, tactful pressure), Swedish, hot stones and cupping all in one session! Either way, you're in good hands!
Pregnancy Massage
Prenatal massage is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue.

Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Therapy is deeply detoxifying and profoundly relaxing. By combining massage with hot stones, the circulatory system is both stimulated and relaxed. This circulatory activity promotes the release of toxins from the muscles, assisting the body in self-healing. In addition, tense muscles are also softened and eased by the deeply penetrating heat of the basalt stones.
Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient modality where I apply gentle pressure to specific points on the head, face, hands and/or feet. The points I'm "working" correspond to particular organs or body systems. I never use Reflexology to diagnose or treat a client. When you leave you'll be grounded, balanced, relaxed and rejuvenated.

Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage, a therapeutic technique, actively induces deep relaxation and promotes overall well-being. By utilising smooth, gentle, and flowing strokes, this type of massage actively aims to alleviate muscular tension, improve circulation, and enhance the range of movement. It is a holistic practice that goes beyond physical benefits to provide mental and emotional relief.
Cupping
Cupping Therapy is a healing method that uses suction to create negative pressure to lift the skin away from the underlying tissues. The main principle is to create a surge of blood flow beneath the cup to bring fresh, oxygen-rich blood cells along with white blood cells and pain relief receptors so localized healing can take place. You'll receive regional, dynamic and blanket cupping, over the full body, with this service.
Deep and Slow
Deep-tissue massage applies pressure to specific layers of muscle, tendons, and tissues deep underneath the skin. This modality is highly therapeutic and works for everyone, from athletes to employees working a 9-5. Deep tissue massage relieves these patterns. The focus, with Deep and Slow is to work slowly and intentionally in one or two specific areas to relieve tightness, pain and spasming.
Full Body Stretch
Full Body Stretch works by lengthening your muscles, which allows you to move more easily. It also increases the range of motion in joints that are often locked or stiffened up. This modality is perfect for everyone, from professional athletes to the elderly.
Partial Body Stretch
Stretching damaged or injured tissue has been shown to aid in the healing process of muscle injuries by mobilizing scar tissue or fascia promoting functional healing patterns. There are three types or layers of fascia in the body binding us together and holding us upright. In order for our fascia to remain healthy, it requires movement warmth and proper hydration. Neurologically, this targets the nervous system, stretching once-stiff joints to be able to move without pain.
