TreatmentS
Signature Head & Neck
...shoulder and back. If you suffer from migraines, tension headaches, shoulder tension, knots around shoulder blades, back pain from prolonged sitting at the desk, neck etc., then this is the perfect treatment for you. We recommend dedicating at least 1hr focusing on this area. If you would like to add your legs/feet, we recommend booking at least 1.5hrs/2hrs.
Deep Tissue
Deep tissue massage is perfect for targeting muscle tension and knots that can build up from lack of movement. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues.
Many therapists believes that that it's impossible to have a Deep Tissue that is also relaxing. Carolyn proves them wrong with her unique expressive, slow flow style of masage that can achieve deep yet soothing relief.
Thai Foot Massage
Traditional Thai Foot Massage incorporates elements of Shiatsu, Reflexology and Chinese Massage and is implemented through the use of Thai Foot Massage Stick as well as the palms, fingers, thumbs and knuckles. All full body treatments include foot massage unless you stipulate otherwise.
You can have our Thai Foot Massage as a standalone treatment as well if preferred. To fully receive the benefit of this treatment, we recommend booking 1.5hrs/2hrs so that we may dedicate at least 20 to 30 mins.
MLD - Manual
Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is an advanced therapy in which the practitioner uses a range of specialised and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move the skin in the direction of the lymph flow.
This therapy can assist in boosting your immune system by removing biochemical waste from body tissues. It can also assist in water retention which can occur during pregnancy as well as a sedentary lifestyle. MLD has also been known to help reduce the signs of scar tissue from cosmetic surgery.
TMJ Intra-oral
We have developed a signature holistic massage routine for treating clicking, painful/tensed jaw or Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ).
Our treatment will focus on treating the jaw through an intra-oral massage targeting the difficult to reach inner jaw muscle, as well as an external jaw/face massage targeting the external jaw muscle.
Because sufferers of jaw pain also exhibit other symptoms like migraine, tinnitus and tension headache, our treatment also include our Signature, Head, Neck and Shoulder routine.
Regular TMJ treatments have shown to prevent future reoccurrences of discomfort/pain.
(This treatment will involve our trained therapist putting on non-latex gloves, entering your oral cavity and massaging your inner jaw muscle.)
Pregnancy/Prenatal
Most people think that pregnant ladies are fragile creature to be stroked gently. While we are more than happy to gently deliver a relaxing treatment for the Mums who prefer it, we know that Mums are still people with different needs. We understand that as your body change, you need someone who really understands how to safely develop a treatment unique to you which might mean some added attention to certain areas.
