Each massage takes place in a private room – free from distracting noise. The ambiance is targeted toward maximum relaxation, to ensure that your massage is as comforting as possible. As with all our services, Prana’s massage offerings rely only on natural products. We never utilize toxic chemicals or other harsh substances that can jeopardize your skin or health.
It’s important to remember that massage therapies are important for more than just relaxation. While the typical massage can be a revitalizing experience for any client, there are many people who have serious therapeutic reasons for visiting us.
Furthermore, the benefits of a good massage extend far beyond easing muscle tension. Massages help to relax all the body’s systems, making it easier for critical nutrients to reach the areas they should. A massage can release endorphins, altering, and improving your mood. They’ve even been proven effective in relieving the worst effects of migraines and other headaches.

The stretches are held for two seconds each and often repeated six times each. This allows the target muscles to optimally lengthen without triggering the protective stretch reflex. These stretches provide maximum benefit and can be accomplished without tension or resulting trauma. As the name implies, these are active stretches that require the client to work together with the therapist. Each 60-minute session is intensive and focused on only one body region (i.e. lower back or shoulder/neck girdle). Clients should come prepared to participate and wear comfortable, loose clothing (usually gym gear). Rebecca Perez is our resident AIS practitioner and continues to work with AIS creator Aaron Mattes on achieving her advanced certification. She also holds certifications as an Exercise Physiologist, Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor, and of course Massage Therapist.

Chakra Balancing Massage This is a unique sensory experience that begins with an organic Himalayan salt foot scrub and then incorporates deep relaxation massage, tapotement, aromatherapy, and guided meditation into 90 minutes of pure bliss.

What are the chakras? We all have seven major chakras located along the spine. They are responsible for directing the flow of energy throughout our bodies. Every emotion and all of our senses are integrated into the chakras. When we experience stress our chakras can become blocked. Blocked chakras can manifest in physical, emotional, or spiritual issues. Open, balanced chakras keep our energy flowing so that we feel our very best. Chakra balancing is a great way to improve your physical and emotional well being. The use of essential oils during massage along with guided meditation techniques is a great way to help achieve balance. We use certified therapeutic essential oils and like to think of it as vitamins for the chakras. They assist to awaken the senses to help boost blocked or unbalanced chakras. This is a rejuvenating experience for letting go of stress for the body, mind & spirit. This service is offered only by our therapist Stephanie.

Each Lypossage™ lasts approximately 30 minutes per zone and is performed in a series of 18-sessions over the course of 4-8 weeks. (2-4 treatment sessions per week.)

It aims to release myofascial (connective tissue) restrictions in the body and to break up any restrictive scar tissue. It has also been known to relieve chronic tension, increase range of motion, improve posture, and restore length and flexibility to the muscles and fascia. The pressure of this massage may be somewhat slower and more intense, and massage cream isn’t always used. During this session, your therapist will focus on releasing tension from the deeper tissue structures, breaking up adhesions, and bringing balance into the body. The therapist tailors each session specifically for the individual needs of each client. Usually, they will focus on a particular area of the body, which needs the most tension reduction and relief. The treatment helps to relieve stress and pain but also helps improve the performance of daily activities. Results are typically seen after the first session, but it is recommended for a series of 2-10 sessions for maximum benefits. For the 1st-time treatment, we recommended 2 hours that includes a range of motion & muscle testing but subsequent sessions can be 60 or 90 minutes.
