What is it?
Relaxing massage, also known as Swedish Massage, is the perfect treatment for relaxation, stress relief, and overall well-being. This classic full-body massage is designed to ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote deep relaxation. Whether you're looking to unwind after a long week or relieve muscle stiffness, a Swedish massage can help you feel rejuvenated and refreshed.

How is it done?
Relaxing massage is one of the most popular and widely practiced massage techniques. It involves long, flowing strokes, kneading, and gentle pressure to help reduce stress, enhance flexibility, and improve blood flow. Using a combination of techniques such as effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement, and vibration, I tailor each session to your specific needs, ensuring a deeply soothing experience.

What to expect?
When you come in for a relaxing Swedish massage, I will create a serene and calming atmosphere to help you unwind from the moment you arrive. You’ll lie comfortably on a massage table as I use light to medium pressure with high-quality oils or lotions to glide over your skin smoothly. I focus on areas that hold the most tension, such as the neck, shoulders, and lower back, while ensuring the whole body receives the benefits of relaxation.
