Massage involves various techniques, including pressing, rubbing, and manipulating the skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments with a specific or general focus. At Fertile Ground, each session is tailored to meet the unique needs and concerns of the individual. Sports and deep tissue massages are available for those seeking relief from muscle problems and injuries. Alternatively, aromatherapy is included in every session if the client desires it. Studies have shown that massage can have immense benefits, including reducing stress, alleviating pain and muscle tightness, increasing relaxation, and improving immune system function. For those seeking a more profound level of relaxation and healing, acupuncture can be added to the massage for a combination of massage and acupuncture.

At Fertile Ground, we prioritize the comfort and needs of our prenatal clients. A special prenatal massage pillow will ensure a relaxing, comfortable experience while alleviating back pressure. Sessions begin with a brief intake to understand the client’s patterns and treatment goals. Many find prenatal massages beneficial to the aches that may accompany pregnancy.
