Touch is powerful and very healing. Some of the benefits of massage are:

• Reducing tension, anxiety, and stress
• Promoting a sense of relaxation and renewed energy
• Improving quality of sleep
• Calming and/or stimulating the nervous system
• Improving blood circulation, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to the cells
• Stimulating the lymphatic system, which carries away the body's toxins such as lactic acid and digestive impurities
• Preventing tension and spasms in the muscle tissue as muscles become firmer and more elastic
• Helping to lower high blood pressure
• Managing pain in conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, fibromyalgia, and more
• Helping to correct misalignment of the body caused by habitual holding patterns we develop over time
• Strengthening the immune system

“My first therapeutic massage with Toni was about eight years ago when I was seeking relief for pain and stiffness in my legs created by arthritis in my knees. I fully believe that Toni has helped me postpone surgery. Her help with other stiff muscles and relief from tension and anxiety is a definite bonus! Although Toni’s massage skill is certainly unequaled, it is her empathy, insight, and genuine caring for her clients’ well-being that make her unique and special. Toni’s massage studio is also a place of calm in a hectic, stressful world. Massage with Toni is a necessary and value-added part of caring for my physical and mental health.”
