“Renee has given me several massages and I am always very happy with her work and expertise. She is very thorough in her work, from asking about any ailments or problem areas, etc. Renee's studio is very comforting and I felt so pampered! I will be rescheduling with her in the near future!”

Add-Ons

Additional services that can be added to any massage appointment.

Hot Stone Therapy

Hot stones applied during a massage help your muscles relax. Once your muscles are relaxed, Renee will be able to work with your deep tissues more effectively. Releasing that extra tension makes it possible to provide a deeper massage to relieve your sore muscles.

Paraffin Wax Hand Treatment

Using paraffin wax on your hands and feet before a massage is a way to apply a moist heat that eases pain and loosens your joints. This is especially valuable for people suffering from arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome and people who spend a lot of time on their feet.
