DENALI DEEP TISSUE
Intensive therapy targets specific areas of muscle tension, releasing tightness and reducing pain through the use of firm, direct pressure to separate, lengthen and restore muscle fibers. Targets “knots” or tight areas of muscle that may be causing pain in other areas of the body. Brief soreness is not uncommon after this treatment, but the benefits are lasting, taking you to blissful heights.

This massage can be done with either Swedish or Deep Tissue Techniques.

DAY TRIPPER'S DELIGHT
After a day of backcountry safari come and see us for a full body, customized massage with a primary focus on the hips, legs and feet. This massage incorporates stretches, trigger point therapy and a broad attachment theragun treatment to promote blood flow and release any lactic acid build up in the body. We will finish the treatment with a light reflexology treatment and massage for those tired paws. The theragun can be removed and replaced with any of our other add ons.

THE MIGRAINE MIRACLE
This specific treatment for headaches and sinus discomfort includes essential oil therapy, unique massage techniques, pressure points and a layout of cold, stone marbles on the face to offer immediate relief for irritated sinuses and head pain. This comforting massage is finished off with a head and lymphatic massage and warm towels on the feet to help reduce inflammation and reduce toxins in the body.
