ASHIATSU BAREFOOT THERAPY
Ashiatsu uses barefoot pressure to engage deeper layers of muscle and fascia. Supported by overhead bars or silks, pressure is applied slowly and with intention, allowing tissue to soften and respond naturally. The work is deliberate, and tailored, creating a sense of depth and spaciousness that feels precise, refined, and profoundly restorative.

INTRAORAL & BUCCAL FACIAL
An advanced therapeutic treatment that works with the internal and external muscles of the mouth, while addressing the interconnected structures of the face, head, neck, and upper chest. By accessing deeper musculature from inside the mouth, this technique releases tension patterns that cannot be reached externally. The result is improved jaw mobility, reduced clenching, restored structural balance, and natural contour refinement. A precise approach to functional relief and elevated facial sculpting.
I am Certified in Intraoral Massage
ABDOMINAL THERAPY
Abdominal Therapy supports the alignment of the pelvis and abdominal organs. By addressing tension and restrictions in this area, it promotes optimal function of the digestive system and pelvic floor. This therapy can be particularly beneficial for digestive concerns, pelvic floor dysfunction, and overall core balance, helping restore comfort, mobility, and structural harmony.
I am Trained in Arvigo Maya Adominal Techniques as taught by Dr Rosita Arvigo
CUPPING THERAPY
Cupping is an ancient therapeutic technique that uses suction to lift and decompress soft tissue, promoting space and mobility within the muscles and fascia. This gentle yet effective method enhances circulation, releases tension, and provides myofascial release, supporting both structural alignment and overall relaxation.
RED LIGHT & VIBROACOUSTIC THERAPY
Light therapy works by boosting cellular energy to encourage and enhance the body’s natural healing abilities, increases circulation and accelerates tissue repair. Bonus: it decreases cortisol and increases serotonin.
Vibroacoustic therapy is sound frequencies and vibration. It will leave you in an elevated state of mindfulness and well being.
RESTORE AND RADIATE RITUAL
Your journey begins with warm towels cocooning the face as gentle occipital work melts tension from the scalp and nervous system. Flowing into the chest and neck, this treatment opens the breath and softens areas that hold stress.
A sculpting facial follows, including an intraoral (buccal) massage to release deep facial tension, enhance circulation, and lift from within. Warm towels return to envelop the skin, followed by calming red light therapy to support collagen production and radiant glow.
The ritual continues with focused abdominal massage to stimulate digestion and core relaxation, then finishes with grounding hot towels on the abdomen and feet—leaving you feeling balanced, lifted, and completely cared for.
A true reset for body and mind—because every mother deserves to feel held, restored, and radiant.
