Massage therapy designed for full body relaxation, improving circulation, increasing range of motion, kinesthetic awareness through movement, incorporating some shiatsu and deeper CTT and NMT. This type of massage can range from meditative to energizing and is considered revitalizing. The use of essential oils is optional.
