Well of Life Center for Holistic Healthcare

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the manipulation of skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments with the goal of helping the body to heal itself.

Our bodies store toxins in our tissues, including chemicals and metals from our environments, lactic acid from overworked muscles, and waste products from our diets. A build-up of these toxins can cause anything from soreness and stiffness to disorder and dis-ease.

This is where massage therapy, in conjunction with nutritional and chiropractic care, can help. By using varying levels of pressure in certain areas, massage can reach into even the deepest tissues of the body, improving circulation and blood flow, breaking up scar tissue, and assisting in the elimination of waste products.

Your health and safety is our priority.

During these challenging times we wanted to take a moment to reassure you that we are following all CDC protocols and guidelines to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all our clients. 

On top of the protocols, we took it a step further by having our staff trained in an infection control course for salon and spa professionals. This course, offered by Milady Training, covers safety and disinfection protocols, safety protocols and all the most current standards. We are committed to your health and safety!

Classic Relaxing Stress Relieving Massage

30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes

Cold Stone Face Massage

This cyrotherapeutic service is particularly helpful for those that experience headaches and migraines, as well as allergy sufferers, as the marble stones soothe inflammation and swelling in the sinuses. The cold constricts the blood vessels when the stone is applied. The blood vessels then dilate when the stone is removed, providing the tissue again with fresh, oxygenated blood. This treatment is good for both acute and chronic sufferers.

Warm Stone Massage

60 minutes
This is a Swedish massage enhanced by warm stone therapy. Smooth stones glide over the skin, warming muscles and inducing a unique, comforting form of relaxation.
5

Himalayan Salt Stone Massage

60 minutes
The heat of the salt melts restrictive fascia to go deeper into the muscles and loosen the joints. The moist heat of the stones assist with soothing inflamed muscles and joints. This massage helps detoxify and alkaline the body, leaving the skin feeling refreshed and glowing.

Seated Chair Massage

Focusing on your back, shoulders, neck, and arms, a seated chair massage is performed over your clothes and doesn’t require any massage oil. You will be seated in a special chair with your face resting in a cradle. Your back and neck completely relax while the therapist relieves muscle tension using Swedish massage moves like kneading and compression.

Prenatal Massage

Massage can be a great addition to your prenatal care at the Well during your second and third trimesters. Prenatal massage works to relax muscle tension and improve blood and lymphatic circulation through the application of mild pressure to the muscle groups of the body. This can reduce the aches and pains associated with pregnancy, including those in the neck, back, hips, legs, glutes, and joints. Nerve pain, especially Sciatic nerve pain, can be reduced or eliminated, along with headaches associated with muscle tension and restricted blood flow.

Increased blood and lymphatic circulation have many great benefits, especially during pregnancy. Swelling during pregnancy is often caused by reduced circulation and increased pressure from the uterus. Massage encourages the lymphatic system to remove any collected fluids, while the boost in blood circulation increases blood flow to the placenta and improves overall immunity.

Prenatal massage also helps to regulate hormone levels, leading to decreased anxiety and symptoms of depression. Norepinephrine and cortisol, hormones associated with stress, have been shown to decrease with regular massages, while the hormones dopamine and serotonin have been shown to increase; low levels of dopamine and serotonin are associated with depression. Hormone regulation also aids in better sleep and increases energy levels during the day. It also leads to fewer complications during birth and lowers the chance of postnatal complications in newborns.

What our clients are saying

“Madison was kind, compassionate, and professional. She listened to all my thoughts and areas of muscle tension and made those were addressed during my massage session. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed! I would recommend Madison to any expectant mother for prenatal massage and I’m sure she would be fabulous for other services as well!”

K.R.

“Overall it was great.  It seemed she knew lots of great skills. She was very thorough from top of head to bottom of feet too.  She was also little more therapeutic than just ” feel good massage”. She engaged her skills using muscles’ origin and insertion. As a chiropractor, I was very surprised she used excellent skills. She said she learned from her professor who is a physical therapist.   Her intensity of massage was not too strong though, but I felt great after getting massage. I did not feel soreness after massage.   Most of all, I felt like toxins in my body released throughout massage session, my face became glowing after all. I highly recommended Madison.”

Dr. Blossom Lee, Chiropractor

“There have been many chapters of my healing in my journey at the WOLC. And massage has been written into many of those chapters. I have been blessed by this lovely young woman Michelle and her incredible gift of touch. I came to her at a point ready to move into the challenges I was having with my neck that were causing debilitating migraines, vertigo, severe equilibrium problems along with ear and eye issues. Without her part in the healing process I would not have moved to the level of function I have today. I’m walking better and moving more freely…she has helped give me back a part of my life that I thought was lost. Thank you Michelle, thank you WOLC!”
Kathy C.

“Michelle’s massages do wonders to enhance my flexibility, posture and have taught me how to better relax. She’s not just a wonderful massage therapist, she’s an awesome person all around.”
Michelle S.

Madison was very professional, very soft spoken and I felt comfortable with her working on me. She focused primarily on neck/shoulders/upper back because that area needed a lot of work. She asked my preference in pressure and I think she was right on target with it. I felt very relaxed and comfortable and still feel the benefits of last weeks massage. So I would definitely recommend her!”

A.L.

“Professional, knows the working of the body,  I enjoyed it very much because it wasn’t “fluff,” I felt like things were being “worked out.”

A.B.

“I began my Well of Life massage therapy journey in August 09 in conjunction with my nutritional program. Suffering from headaches, stress and strained muscles, Michele therapeutic touch has provided relief and facilitates my body’s natural healing. Michele has a wonderful and warm personality which makes for a truly relaxing two hour session. I would encourage those who are not benefiting from massage therapy to give it a try.”
Kevin Y.

“My experience with the massage department at the Well of Life Center has been fantastic. It’s an intense experience and what it does to further one’s well-being cannot be matched. What I have learned about how and why my muscles are doing certain things is invaluable. I would encourage anyone coming to the Well of Life to try this modality.”
