• Swedish Massage : This is the most common and classic style of massage, focusing on relaxation and relieving muscle tension through lighter, flowing strokes.

Goal: General relaxation, stress relief, and improving circulation.

Pressure: Typically light to moderate, though it can be adjusted.

Best For: First-time massage clients, those seeking stress reduction, and overall body relaxation.

• Prenatal Massage: A therapeutic bodywork session specifically adapted for the unique needs of a pregnant person.

Goal: Alleviating common discomforts of pregnancy like back pain, sciatic nerve pain, joint swelling (edema), and improving sleep.

Techniques: Uses gentle and adaptive techniques similar to Swedish massage, but avoids deep pressure and certain acupressure points.

Positioning: Clients are typically positioned side-lying with specialized bolsters and pillows for safe and comfortable support, ensuring no pressure is placed on the abdomen.

Safety: Requires the therapist to have specialized training and knowledge of contraindications related to pregnancy.

Best For: Expectant mothers, usually during the second and third trimesters, seeking physical relief and relaxation.

• Hot Stone Massage:A specialty massage that incorporates the use of smooth, heated stones as a therapeutic tool.

Goal: Deep muscle relaxation, increased circulation, and stress relief through the application of heat.

Techniques: The therapist uses hot stones (usually basalt, a volcanic rock) in two ways:

Placement: Stones are placed on specific points along the body (like the spine or palms) to warm and relax the muscles.

Extension of Hands: The therapist holds the stones and uses them to massage the body with long, gliding strokes.

Benefit: The heat penetrates muscles deeply, allowing the therapist to work on tension with less physical pressure, making the massage feel deeper without discomfort.

Best For: Individuals with muscle stiffness, chronic pain (like fibromyalgia), poor circulation, or those who want an extremely relaxing, warming experience.

• Couples Massage: A shared experience where two people receive their individual massages at the same time, in the same room.

Goal: To provide a shared relaxation experience, promote bonding, and allow partners, family, or friends to spend quality time together.
Setting: Performed in a single, private room with two massage tables side-by-side.
Therapists: Two separate massage therapists work on each person simultaneously, often coordinating the flow of the session.
Styles Used: The type of massage performed is usually chosen by the clients (e.g., both could choose Swedish, or one could choose deep tissue while the other chooses Swedish).
Best For: Romantic dates, anniversaries, quality time with a friend or relative, or introducing a hesitant partner to massage therapy.
