I am a professional massage therapist, trained in a variety of modalities. Some of those modalities include swedish massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, sports massage, pregnancy massage and hot stone massage. I customize each massage session for the individual need of the person. For example, I might combine swedish massage and deep tissue massage. I don't charge extra for different types of massages and love using the hot stones and aromatherapy. The stones and aromatherapy are included in every session if the person likes them.
