Upgrade Your Experience

Add-ons are not separate treatments but are a great way to enhance your already existing massage appointment.

Aromatherapy

We offer a wide variety of doTERRA essential oils in our office because their essential oils are some of the purest available. doTERRA oils are ethically and sustainably sourced. They perform rigorous testing to ensure quality and purity in all their essential oils. Because these oils are so pure, it doesn’t take much to receive benefit from these oils.

At Nurturing Touch, we add the essential oil(s) of your choosing to the cream, lotion or coconut oil that will be used during your massage. Not only will you receive therapeutic benefit from these oils being massaged into your body but they smell amazing too!

Cupping

Adding cupping to your massage can create more relief in less time. We massage the muscles with oil first. This provides the initial loosening effect. We then use silicone cups to suction onto the body. The silicone cups can maintain suction while going over bony landmarks such as the spine, shoulder blades and hips. This is a great way to break up scar tissue, provide myofascial release and drastically increase the range of motion in your “stuck” areas.

*Cupping cannot be added to prenatal or hot stone massages and not all therapists are certified to do cupping.

Body Gua Sha

Gua Sha is a Chinese Medicine name that describes muscle scraping. ‘Gua’ means to scrape and ‘Sha’ is the reddening of the skin that appears as a result of the scraping. A smooth-edged tool is used with oil to scrape over a tight muscle or an area that is restricted with scar tissue or knots in the muscle. Repetitively going over the muscle with this tool helps to loosen the tight muscle, bring fresh oxygenated blood to the area, break up scar tissue and promote healing. Your therapist will stop working on an area once some of the reddening has appeared. It is not necessary to overly scrape the area until it is purple. Gua Sha does not cause the skin barrier to break or bleed.

*Not all therapists are trained in body gua sha.
