Groupon 60 minute massage: A Relaxing Swedish massage with aromatherapy. Limit one per client.

The goal of Swedish massage is Relaxation. 

Swedish massage is applied in a way that helps to slow down and calm the energy of the body. This is achieved by not applying any jarring movements and allows the client to rest. Slow gliding techniques are applied with the palm, forearm and knuckles at a light medium or deep pressure. Light compressions and tappotement is applied. For the feet a light foot reflexology pattern is applied along with general pressure. This can also include scalp massage or face massage upon request yet is not applied unless requested. To enhance the calming affect calming music is played and aromatherapy choices are offered such as: Lavender, Eucalyptus, Sweet Orange, Grapefruit, Peppermint or Rosemary. Tea Tree

Alternating Swedish massage sessions with deep tissue sessions work is great for those whose muscles are tight due to tension. Also if ones body is stuck in the fight or flight mode: In the Fight or flight mode, the body is jumpy when touched or it is hard to move a part of the body without the client readily assisting. These reactions are automatic, sometimes subtle and other times very pronounced. It may even be mentally irritating to have a relaxing massage. Being able to make it past this irritation and through deep breathing mixed with swedish massage will help to calm the body and switch out of the I got to keep going every minute of the day mode. When the body is stuck in this mode the body will tense up and actually be stuck in a tension state. Leading to severe stiffness of movements. Low digestive movement and affects ability to sleep well.
