Unlike other clinics, we do not charge extra for hot stones, deep tissue massage, trigger point, or
Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy—and your massage may include any of our complimentary therapies at no extra cost! 
In addition, all of our relaxing and therapeutic massages are enhanced by the healing benefits of organic coconut oil,
warming far infrared rays, and relaxing aromatherapy.

Swedish Massage

Are you overworked, over-stressed, and in serious need of physical and mental relaxation? A relaxing Swedish massage is just the ticket! The majority of my clients arrive with stress levels of 7 or higher on a scale of 0 to 10, and yet they leave with a stress level of 0. If you want to achieve and maintain peek performance, you should include Swedish massage, along with EFT (which is available at no additional cost), as a regular part of your personal stress-reduction program.

Hot Stone Massage

Would you like to enhance your relaxation and truly calm your mind, but not pay any extra to do so?. Then look no further. At no additional cost I will include a Hot Stone Massage along with any other therapy. As you may know, at most other spas you have to pay extra (a good deal extra, actually) for this luxurious treatment. The soothing heat of the warmed stones is deeply relaxing, and helps release tight muscles. The stones do take time to heat up, so be sure to let me know in advance of your appointment if you would like to give hot stones a try.

Deep Tissue Massage

Do you suffer from chronic pain, fibromyalgia, muscle inflammation, back pain, or muscle cramping? Then you would greatly benefit from a stronger, more focused therapeutic massage that stimulates, conditions, and heals tense contracted muscles. For many, this type of massage is the ideal path to relaxation as Deep Tissue Massage has been proven to promote the production of serotonin (often called the "feel-good hormone," although it is actually a neurotransmitter, not a hormone) because it is well known to contribute to feelings of well-being.

Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy® (AOBT)

Do you enjoy deep tissue massage? Then you need to try Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy® (Roberta is a certified practitioner), an enhanced form of deep tissue massage (sometimes called "barefoot massage") where pressure is smoothly and evenly applied via the therapist's feet. Often called "the deepest and most luxurious massage on the planet," Ashiatsu (which means "foot pressure" in Japanese) is great for sciatica, chronic back pain, and tight or painful muscles—and can provide you with one of the most relaxing massages you've ever experienced.

Trigger Point & Myofascial Release Therapy

Do you have tender / painful muscles that just won't let go? Are you having frequent headaches, neck stiffness, elbow or shoulder pain, or low back stiffness? Then this more specific type of deep tissue massage—which includes the identification and release of points of tight muscle fibers (muscle knots) that are causing local and referred pain—is just what you need. Trigger Point & Myofascial Release Therapy, like standard Deep Tissue Massage, reduces chronic pain, increases flexibility, improves circulation, raises energy levels, and enhances immune system function.

Ashi-Thai™ (Stretching Massage)

Do you suffer from stiff and painful muscles that just won't relax? Then you would greatly benefit from Ashi-Thai's compressive techniques and passive stretches that relax your muscles while increasing your flexibility and range of motion. The technique is performed with you fully clothed, ideally in loose and flexible clothing (if you don't have loose clothing we'll provide you with a loose-fitting cotton outfit for the session). As a certified Ashi-Thai™ practitioner, Roberta often uses this technique right before a traditional massage to melt away stress and tension and relieve pain—and like all of our other therapies, there is NO extra charge for this amazing and extremely relaxing technique.

Enhanced Raindrop Technique

The Raindrop Technique leverages 100% pure, natural, uncut essential oils along with a variety of massage techniques—including reflexology, warm compresses, and stretching—to help bring the body back into structural and electrical alignment. Pure essential oils are dispensed like drops of rain from a height of about six inches above the back—and are then feathered along the vertebrae, back muscles, and shoulders. At Massage TLC, the standard Raindrop Technique is enhanced by the use of Thermal Connective Tissue Release via hot mitts on the hands and feet, and gentle stretching of the neck muscles with a warm flax-seed pillow. Clients have reported decreased pain, increased mobility, and an overall feeling of peace and a renewed zest for life.

Sports Massage

Are you a professional or amateur athlete, or someone who keeps active to stay fit? If so, a Sports Massage can greatly aid you in alleviating pain and preventing injuries that affect flexibility, mobility, response time, and overall performance. Sports Massage is a type of therapeutic massage designed for athletes, or anyone who has a challenging fitness routine—and is greatly beneficial both pre-(to prepare for peak performance) and post-event (to speed the recovery and healing process). See my Athletes page for additional information.

Prenatal Massage

Are you pregnant, and want to feel your best? As a therapist trained in prenatal massage, I can aid you in relieving muscle aches and joint pains, reducing anxiety, decreasing symptoms of depression, and reducing swelling. Massage helps stimulate soft tissues to reduce the collection of fluids in swollen joints, and helps addresses inflamed nerves that cause conditions such as sciatic nerve pain, by helping release the tension on nearby muscles. Studies have shown that hormone levels associated with relaxation and stress are significantly altered by regular massage, leading to mood regulation and improved cardiovascular health when massage therapy is a part of regular prenatal care.

Thermal Connective Tissue Release Massage

Ready for a warm and relaxing massage like you've never experienced? Then simply ask that a Thermal Connective Tissue Release Massage be included (at no additional cost) when you schedule your next session. Thermal Connective Tissue Release Massage is a warm and relaxing therapy that combines specific hands-on techniques with the warmth of heated flax-seed pillows, making it easier to work through layers of soft tissue to reach the deeper origins of pain. So why not go ahead and treat yourself today!

Chinese Cupping Massage

Want to try something that feels truly incredible and leaves you invigorated and relaxed at the same time? Then you should give a Chinese Cupping Massage a try. This stimulating yet soothing technique combines Chinese cupping therapy with relaxing massage techniques, and utilizes "negative pressure" to soften tight muscles, loosen adhesions, lift connective tissue, and aid in the removal of toxins by opening lymphatic pathways. Cupping can also be used to successfully reduce fat build-up and treat cellulite, and is highly effective in relieving back pain, headaches, and fatigue.

Reflexology / Hand & Foot Massage

Imagine being pampered while improving your health at the same time! That's exactly what you experience with Reflexology--a technique that is both a science and an art based on the premise there are reflex zones on the feet and hands that correspond to specific body parts and regions. This unique method of using the thumb and finger pressure to "work" these reflex areas can help relieve stress and tension, improve nerve and blood supply, and unblocking nerve impulses that may be impeding proper energy flow to the corresponding areas of the body.

Lomi Lomi TLC Massage

Have you floated on a cloud lately? If not, why not give a Lomi Lomi TLC massage a try. Lomi is a Hawaiian word that means "to rub, press, squeeze, or massage; to work in and out as the claws of a contented cat." Lomi Lomi TLC is a relaxing and therapeutic form of massage that incorporates flowing forearm movements and circular runs that both nurture and heal.

Complimentary Spa Treatment Therapies

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

EFT is a revolutionary, non-invasive technique that can successfully address bodily pain, stress, anger, anxiety, phobias, past traumas, grief, guilt, depression, panic and addictions. As an advanced EFT practitioner I can aid you in eliminating "locked-in" negative emotions that are causing physical conditions and ongoing trauma and stress; emotions that may be keeping you from reaching your full potential. If you live too far from Carrollton, TX to drop by, I can conduct Remote EFT Sessions, very effectively, by phone. See the EFT Introductory Video to learn more.

Rejuvenating Facial Therapy

Interested in looking younger? Then look no further. Women in Asia & Europe have been using Facial Cupping for rejuvenation and maintenance for generations. The benefits include increased local circulation and reduced fine lines and wrinkles as the drainage of stagnant fluids from reservoir areas lessens edema and chronic puffiness. I also gently massage in my own special blend of Frankincense, Myrrh, Clary Sage, and Sandalwood essential oils—infused with organic coconut oil—to help reduce wrinkles and soften the skin.

Therasage® Full-Body Far Infrared Ray (FIR) Sauna

Bask in the warmth of Therasage®'s patented Far Infrared Ray Sauna as its soothing heat and negative ions bathe your body from every angle to naturally relieve muscular aches and pains, decrease joint stiffness, detoxify, burn calories (up to 600 per hour), emulsify cellulite, increase circulation, and promote overall health and wellness. Each 30 minute session includes an organic electrolyte drink, and follow-on time for you to shower before you leave.   Learn more about Therasage®'s technology here.

Far Infrared Ray (FIR) Dome

Far infrared rays—which produce a warm and comfortable feeling—promote the elimination of fats, chemicals, and toxins from the blood; aid in breaking down cellulite; promote the rebuilding of injured tissue; enhance the immune system; relieve minor aches and pains; and aid in the healing of scar tissue, burns, and skin problems.

Chi Machine

The Chi Machine blends the ancient arts of massage with modern technology for a unique experience in relaxation. The gentle, oscillating, figure-eight motion is a passive form of aerobic exercise that maximizes oxygen absorption. A Chi Machine session is performed while you are reclining and relaxed. Just 5 minutes on the machine is equal to taking a 1 mile walk. It energizes the body by enhancing muscle relaxation, providing temporary relief from minor muscular aches, and bathing your cells in nutrients and oxygen.

Essential Oil Hand and Foot Treatment with Hot Mitts

Feel like pampering yourself? Then try our luxury spa treatment where your hands and your feet are massaged with healing essential oils, and then bathed in the calming warmth of heated flax seed pillow hand and foot mitts. This amazing treatment will help you quickly recover from fatigue, relax your nerves, aid in eliminating insomnia, and stimulate your immune system.

Holosync Audio Technology

Holosync is a scientifically-proven audio technology that can easily and effortlessly place you in the electrical brain wave patterns of deep meditation, every time you use it, even if you have never tried meditation before. With this technology you can quickly and easily improve your mental and emotional health, as well as your ability to handle stress. As a result, your level of happiness and inner peace will increase dramatically—no matter what your life is like now. To learn more about this amazing technology, simply click here, or on the image on the left.

Light Therapy

Light therapy is a powerful energy healing modality that is widely practiced by many health practitioners and is offered in wellness centers and holistic spas around the world. Even NASA noted that light therapy could be used "to help treat conditions that could arise in space that don't respond to treatment because of those microgravity situations."

Crystal Bowl Sound Therapy

Crystal Bowl Sound Therapy re-patterns energetic layers of the body and can have a profound and positive impact on health. See this informative video where Dr. Mitchell L. Gaynor, M.D., a board certified medical oncologist and Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the Weill-Medical College of Cornell University, shares the power of sound to heal. At Massage TLC we use high quality crystal bowls which provide healing vibrations that help relieve stress and improve mental clarity.

Corporate and Special Events

Chair massage is a great way to show you care and to say "thank you" to the members of your team or organization for their hard work and dedication. Benefits include decreased stress, reduced pain, increased productivity, and improved morale. You simply book the time for the event, then schedule your employees for their 10 to 20 minute massages (each). I provide the massage chair, soft music, and the hands-on skills necessary to totally pamper you (if you schedule a slot for yourself) and your team.
