Massage Services Descriptions - for pricing click here

Student Massage 

Massage treatments performed by students of The New School for Massage, under the supervision of an instructor. Student therapists will, at a minimum, be able to provide a Swedish (relaxation) massage; depending on their level of training at the time of the appointment, they may also have the skills to perform condition-specific work but we cannot guarantee that as appointments are randomly assigned to students at the beginning of their shift. If you have requests for a specific therapist, gender, conditions to be addressed, or specific bodywork modality, we recommend a professional therapist.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a system of bodywork used to relieve tension and treat illness, based on the theory that there are reflex points on the feet, hands, and head linked to every part of the body.  During the session, the client remains clothed and laying comfortably on the massage table, and the therapists applies combination of reflex stimulation and relaxing massage to the feet, lower legs, arms, hands and head to help to stimulate the reflexology points connected to different body organs and glands. Reflexology is simple and safe for anyone to receive. ​

Myofascial Cupping

​Myofascial Cupping involves placing cups on the skin to create suction.  The cups may be set in place for a set period of time, or moved around over a larger area creating a kneading effect.   The suction creates a vacuum that draws the tissue upward into the cup. The skin may turn red as the blood vessels respond to the change in pressure.  The effect is release of fascia tissue adhesions, stimulation blood flow and circulation to the target area, and engagement of the parasympathetic nervous system to create a deep relaxation to the body.  The suction creates a mild bruising or discoloration which will go away within 10 days of the session.  Our therapists are certified by ICTA (International Cupping Therapy Association)

​Available in 80-minute sessions
