Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain, and muscle tension. While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, some studies have found massage may also be helpful for anxiety, digestive disorders, fibromyalgia, headaches, insomnia related to stress, myofascial pain syndrome, soft tissue strains or injuries, etc.
Beyond the benefits for specific conditions or diseases, some people enjoy massage because it often produces feelings of caring, comfort, and connection.

Whether you’re an athlete, weekend warrior, or just stressed and sore from your daily life, Amber has an array of skills in different types of massage that will perfectly suit your needs!
Prenatal Massage/ Postnatal Massage: Provides therapeutic, soothing treatments that are safe and supportive for both mama and baby. These treatments relieve stress, aches, and pains and improve circulation throughout the body.
Sports Massage: Restores muscle mobility by releasing tension and stress. Typically, various techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, cupping, and stretching are incorporated into a session. Sessions mainly focus on treating specific areas rather than the full body.
Deep Tissue Massage: Targets the deepest layers of your muscle fascia and tissues by using slow, firm, deep pressure to release knots and muscle tension.
Trigger Point Therapy: Targets and releases the origin of your pain. Trigger points are “hot spots” within your muscles created by prolonged tension.
Swedish Massage: Relaxes your mind and body by releasing muscle tension with a gentle and soothing approach.
Stationary Cupping: Relieves pain and inflammation by using silicone cups on your skin to create suction. This is an ancient form of alternative medicine and is used for deep tissue massage and myofascial release.
Dynamic Cupping: Decompresses fascia by pulling the “stuck” fascia and massaging it away from muscle and skin tissue. This more modern type of cupping moves the suctioned cups along the lines of your fascia. This technique provides a deep tissue massage and myofascial release that facilitates better muscle movement and flexibility.
