Services Lymph Drainage gently & rhythmically stimulates the movement of lymph fluid to aid the body in cleansing. Lymph drainage is beneficial in treating edemas & lymphedemas of many origins, relief of chronic & subacute inflammation, chronic pain, muscle spasms, appearance of cellulite, and the stimulation of immune function.

Massage Cupping is based on the application of cups to the body using negative pressure. The mild to moderate suction allows for the softening of tight muscles, adhesions and fascial restrictions. Massage cupping is also used appropriately for the stimulation of blood & lymph flow, and encourages relaxation.

Mini-Cup Face "Lift" and Lymph Drainage utilizes a combination of manual lymphatic drainage and mini face cups to drain excess fluids. Specific pressure points are then stimulated to assist in perking up the tissues of the face.

Deep Tissue Massage aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. This highly effective method helps to release chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motion stresses, and past lingering injuries.

Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, pregnancy massage helps release the pain & discomfort experienced during this very special time.

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing & therapeutic style of bodywork using an array of strokes such as gliding, rolling, kneading, and percussion to help improve circulation. Benefits of this style include relief from aches & pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Hot Stone is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on the body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in muscles. Benefits include the release of muscle tension & stress creating an overall experience of relaxation & rejuvenation.

Stephanie VanOver brings to bear a wide range of training and approaches in her work and applies these skillfully and competently. I have benefitted as a long term client and so have friends and family. I recommend her as a very competent, ethical and conscientious practitioner.

I have been going to Stephanie for over 10 years. I have also referred family and friends to Stephanie many times over the years. Stephanie always takes the time to find out what type of massage I am looking for at each visit, i.e. relaxation, or something more aggressive. We also discuss if there is a specific area that should be avoided or focused more on. During a session she will also let me know if there is an area that she feels needs more attention or requires more pressure, always making sure the pressure is not too much, or uncomfortable. Stephanie goes out of her way to make sure you get the full therapeutic benefits that a massage should provide, and always delivers an enjoyable massage experience.
