🌿 1. Swedish Massage: The Classic Relaxation Experience

Best for: Stress relief, relaxation, first-timers

Swedish massage is the most common and widely requested style. It uses long, gliding strokes, gentle kneading, and circular movements to promote overall relaxation, improve circulation, and ease mild muscle tension.

If you're new to massage or just want to unwind after a long week in the city, this is the perfect place to start.

💪 2. Deep Tissue Massage: For Chronic Tension & Pain Relief

Best for: Chronic pain, tight muscles, athletes

Deep Tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It involves slower, more intense pressure to break up muscle knots, improve mobility, and reduce pain caused by repetitive strain or posture-related issues.

It’s ideal for those who experience regular back or neck pain, stiffness, or tension from long hours at a desk or physically demanding work.

💡 Note: You may feel sore after, but the long-term results are worth it.

🔥 3. Hot Stone Massage: Melt Tension with Heat

Best for: Relaxation, poor circulation, chronic tension

In this deeply soothing massage, smooth, heated stones are placed on key points of the body and used to massage muscles. The heat from the stones helps relax tight muscles more quickly, improves blood flow, and enhances the overall massage experience.

It’s the ultimate relaxation-meets-therapy combo.

🤰 4. Prenatal Massage: Safe Relief for Expecting Moms

Best for: Pregnant women in 2nd or 3rd trimester

Designed specifically for expectant mothers, prenatal massage helps relieve lower back pain, reduce swelling, ease hip discomfort, and support better sleep. It’s performed by trained therapists who understand pregnancy-safe techniques and positioning.

💡 Our prenatal massage uses side-lying positions and cushioned supports for your comfort and safety.

Aromatherapy massages are ideal if you're looking to de-stress, reset, and ground yourself.
