  • Massage Oils: a range from grape seed to safflower oil with added benefits for the largest organ of the body, your skin. For example safflower oil, like most oils, help to keep the skin hydrated and naturally supplying Vitamin E & Omega fatty acids to the area, boosting the immune system. ​

  • Massage Cupping or cupping: similar to fire cupping in acupuncture practices. These are commonly made of silicone for suction to the skin & moved onto tension areas on the body. Once the area is found, the cups are left for not over 2 minutes to pull the blood to the surface of the skin & to renew blood flow to the area. This is great for reducing cellulite and for glowing skin, why it's now commonly known as a beauty treatment. FYI may leave red or purple circular marks on the skin for a couple of days. 
 
  • Essential oils: often used in Aromatherapy Treatments, are all natural concentrated plant essence, used for its aroma and medicinal benefits.  All essential oils have anti-inflammatory properties. Lavender is one of the most popular kind. It's benefit is for calming anxieties, mental stress, and among many more benefits used as an antibacterial agent for the skin. The practitioner will mix 10 to 15 drops of an singular essential oil or a blend with oil or lotion. This will be applied to the clients treatment plan during the session producing aroma and health benefits.
