Massage & Spa
Massage offers a chance for healing and relaxation after a busy day or week at work. It may also be beneficial for deep therapy or recovery from injury. Hot stone massages and facials are also nice additions to sessions. Try a unique style of massage, Thai yoga massage or have a therapist for chair massage at your home or party. See all our options on the massage and spa menu.
Thai Yoga Massage
Thai Yoga Massage is a gentle blend of yoga and massage to improve range of motion and relieve mental and physical stress. With the help of a Thai Massage therapist, you will have a session tailored to your level of needs. Each session will leave you feeling supported, invigorated, and deeply relaxed. No work is required.
See the massage and spa menu for scheduling options and other information.

Hula-Hoop Hooray!
I’m excited about the next hoop class. The June series starts in a couple of weeks. Classes fill up fast so hoops need to be reserved beforehand. Early bird pricing ends soon. There are options for custom made hula-hoops for every age, private 1-on-1 or small group sessions or requesting hoop or fire performers for special occasions.
Hula-hooping is a good low impact cardiovascular exercise. Studies have shown hula-hooping can burn 300-500 calories an hour and boost metabolism. Hoop dance improves your mood because it’s fun for adults and kids and is also accessible to people with limited range of motion. It improves concentration, coordination, endurance, and balance. Strengthen and tone the full body with core, shoulder, arm, and foot hooping visited in the Basics class suitable for beginners. We used a tandem hoop in class that everyone had a lot of fun playing with and is easier to learn in because it turns more slowly. Just 10 minutes a day can improve skills and fitness level drastically. Multiple people have used the Basics class techniques to hoop when they could never do it before.
