Thai Massage Photos

I had the privilege to work with Shivian Morgan to get some photos of my Thai Massage practice. This form of massage is done on a padded mat on the floor, performed over clothing, and incorporates yogic stretching, compression, breathing techniques, traction, and trigger point therapy.

Let us know if you would like to schedule a session for your next massage.

Starting March 1st, 2019, our rates will be increasing a little. 

With the increase of general cost of living, our rates occasionally have to increase slightly as well. We still strive to keep our rates approachable, so our massage rate will only be increasing by $10 per hour. 

Our base rate for table massage will increase from $70 per hour to $80 per hour and our Thai Massage Sessions will also increase from $80 per hour to $90 per hour.  Our Advanced Scheduling Discount (scheduling your massage at least a week in advance) and our Prebooking Scheduling Discount (booking your next massage before you leave your previous one) will remain the same. 

Below is a list of how this affects various sessions:

Current Massage Rates (Full Rate / Advanced  / Advanced and Prebooking)

  • 60 minute Table Massage: $70 / $65 / $60

  • 90 minute Table Massage: $105 / $97.50 / $90

  • 120 minute Table Massage: $140 / $130 / $120

  • 60 minute Thai Massage: $80 / $75 / $70

  • 90 Minute Hot Stone Massage: $140 / $130 / $120

  • 120 Minute Hot Stone Massage: $175 / $162.50 / $150

New Massage Rates (Full Rate / Advanced  / Advanced and Prebooking)

  • 60 minute Table Massage: $80 / $75 / $70

  • 120 minute Table Massage: $160 / $150 / $140

  • 90 Minute Hot Stone Massage: $140 / $130 / $120

  • 120 Minute Hot Stone Massage: $175 / $162.50 / $150

Our rates for session enhancements such as our Diffused Aromatherapy ($5) and Heated Oil Massage ($10) will remain the same as they are now.

Massage Space Update

I have a bit of news for you all. As of today, my family and I have put our condo up for sale. To reduce as much inconvenience to you as possible, I have required that any viewing requests be given 48 hours in advance. What this means to you is that if there is a viewing request during your appointment, I will contact you two days before to reschedule your massage. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, but I will try to minimize it as much as I can. 

In case you would like to see the listing of our condo, go to http://tinyurl.com/CW-Condo.
