*Currently, Couples Massage is not being offered. Just like other industries loosing  employees, a massage therapist has not yet become available to assist with this service. 

Since COVID-19,  although vaccinated since March 2021 I have been  wearing a mask anytime in public and during sessions of services to not only protect myself as I do have SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) and to protect you. Currently, you do not need to wear a mask while receiving a massage, this is subject to change if variants of COVID-19 become critical. 

 Thank you your consideration of my services . I care care about your health and well being but at the same time I have to be conscientious of my own health, family, friends and all the dear people I work with at The MCM Elegante Lodge and Resort.

We are all in this together, let`s stay healthy together!

Your concerns and well being direct the process of your massage, please consider  about what is most important to you for your session before you arrive and please relay that information to Patti as she will make an assessment  and may suggest a particular modality that may be more effective for your condition to help you get the most effective massage therapy or body work to provide you relaxation and relief from pain and discomfort.

The goal of Swedish Massage is to melt away muscle tension, ease discomfort of minor aches and pains, relieves stress, reduce high blood pressure and improve circulation. Swedish Massage is extremely therapeutic as it decreases muscle toxins, increases oxygen levels in the blood, and improves flexibility in the body. 

 This is the massage I use for the first experience of massage for most people. If their pain level is higher than 5 on a 1 to 10 scale then one of the other treatments may be more suitable for their condition. 

 Hot Stone Massage is often paired with Swedish Massage. Stones are heated and used with oils to sooth, warm, and massage your muscles. This allows your body to relax and release tension and stress. The Relaxation Swedish massage usually incorporates a few hot stones therapeutically. 

(A full Hot Stone Therapy Session is 1-1/2 hr. , using about 100 stones and cost $190) 

Penetrating methodically through the layers fascia and muscles, this technique is useful to release knots and relieve trigger points during the massage treatment. This massage is beneficial for very toned muscles,  and if not the appropriate technique, may be too intense producing sore muscles. This treatment is contraindicated for Thrombosis, Diabetes, Lymphoma or after Cancer.

These sessions start at $105.00 per hour plus tax.

The Fascia is also called connective tissue and it surrounds all tissue in the body. Every organ, nerve, muscle, bone and even cells are enveloped with this moving, liquidly, gelatinous tissue whose job is to hold it all together. When tension or injury occur this movement can stop or become tight as well as develop adhesions which can put up to 1000 lbs. of pressure per square inch on nerve endings.  

This is a specialized technique and may be helpful foe those that have felt that only deep pressure will help.
