We use all-natural lotions, creams and oils in accordance with clients preferences. These products promote a healthy condition to the layers of the skin. We adhere to strict safety requirements and provide excellent sanitation and hygiene in our wellness center.

Our massage rooms are specially designed to provide a comfortable space and peaceful atmosphere during the massage session. We are trained and committed to protect our client's health during the massage, taking every precaution with our customers and patients while addressing their particular situation. The most basic principal that we follow is to do no harm.

Our massage services are integrated with treatments being provided by health professionals, offering complementary aid in the rehabilitation process.

We value our clients and treat each individual with kindness and respect. Prior to starting any procedure we will identify the area of need, advise the client to the type of treatment necessary, and then take careful action as required. Our knowledge and training allows us to provide optimal benefits to the client during the massage session.

At Massages For Healing we are always learning and keeping abreast of advancements and current developments in the massage profession. We are continually developing new skills and passing the benefits on to our clients.

We believe that it is important to reach out to the community and offer our services on a volunteer basis when needed. Massages For Healing has participated and sponsored the Marine Corps Marathon and has provided massages to Nursing Homes residents.

We are members of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals Association ( ABMP ).
