Our Services

At A Calmness Within, we offer a variety of massage services tailored to meet your specific needs and preferences. Our services include Deep Tissue Massage, Lymph Drainage Therapy, Oncology Massage, Prenatal Massage, Reiki, and Swedish Massage. Each of these services is designed to address different aspects of your health and wellness, from relieving pain and stress to promoting relaxation and improving overall health.

Our Deep Tissue Massage is a style of massage that addresses superficial and deep muscle groups to increase circulation, improve range of motion, and align muscle tissue and fascia. This type of massage is particularly beneficial for athletes, individuals with dense muscle tissue, and those who find Swedish massage to be too stimulating to the nervous system.

Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) is a gentle, rhythmic, and relaxing technique that has profound results in promoting the body's natural healing process. It is a powerful tool for improving flexibility, mobility, and lessening pain and discomfort. LDT is especially beneficial for individuals undergoing treatment for cancer, as it can help alleviate side effects and promote overall health and well-being.

Our Oncology Massage is a skilled and compassionate touch designed to bring ease of pain and discomfort from surgery and the side effects of treatment. This type of massage is tailored to meet the specific needs of cancer patients and survivors, providing a safe and comforting environment for healing and recovery.

Prenatal Massage is a nurturing and relaxing experience for expectant mothers. Our certified therapists use gentle techniques to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and alleviate common pregnancy discomforts such as back pain and swelling. We also provide education on sleep and postural adjustments to help you navigate the changes in your body as your pregnancy progresses.

Reiki is a form of energy work that promotes balance and well-being by drawing from the energy around us and releasing blockages that restrict our own natural energy flow from within. This type of massage is beneficial for individuals seeking relaxation, stress relief, and overall wellness.

Finally, our Swedish Massage is a classic form of massage therapy that involves long strokes, kneading, and tapping on the muscles. This type of massage promotes relaxation, improves circulation, and relieves muscle tension, making it an excellent choice for individuals seeking a general sense of well-being and relaxation.
