The Massage Studio at Sanctuary
In the time I've been practicing massage at Sanctuary in Avalon (since 2005) I've loved seeing clients benefit from the many great health promoting aspects of massage and watching their physical and emotional well-being develop beyond their expectations. It's no secret that regular massage can progressively improve ones feeling of fluidity both in body and mind, and that's exactly what I aim for with my treatments so that the fantastic feeling you leave the massage with, stays with you.
In combining varied massage styles including remedial, deep tissue, relaxation, Ayurvedic, Stone Therapy and energetic healing, you are sure to get the best possible results, in a massage style that suits you.
The massage studio is very comfortable, with a super-soft massage table that allows you to thoroughly enjoy the massages without discomfort, in fact many clients have commented that it's the most comfortable by far they've encountered! The table is also designed to enable safe and comfortable pregnancy massage. These little details including fresh towels, quality oils chosen to nourish and support the body and relaxing music are very important to me as I want your experience to be massage bliss!
