SWEDISH MASSAGE — a smooth and flowing type of massage combining various techniques — very relaxing and tension reducing.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE — a deep often slower and more penetrating type of massage that acts on connective tissue to bring the body to a greater sense of harmony, flexibility, and release. Great for treating injuries.

CHAMA RIVER HOT STONE MASSAGE — over 50 stones (most harvested from the Chama River) are heated and a few cool ones are used in massaging and laying on the body. The effect is very relaxing as the heat penetrates, the muscles relax, and the nervous system lets go! Deep and nurturing as well.

TRADITIONAL THAI MASSAGE — Susan studied this ancient healing therapy in Thailand in 1996. It works with the meridian system of the body with thumbing and compression techniques, and numerous assisted stretches. One feels relaxed yet energized, and taller!

CRANIAL–SACRAL THERAPY — a subtle type of bodywork that tracks the cranial–sacral rhythm in the body and with gentle techniques, brings greater awareness and balance to this system, which affects the whole body. Great for head and spinal injuries and deep relaxation.

Aromatic oils and specially formulated herbal salves can be incorporated into your treatment to enhance and deepen.

Rates vary depending on type and length — generally from $35 to $85.
