Apricity customizes every massage to each client’s needs and incorporates all trainings into these massages. These, and deep tissue sessions, are great if you’re looking for some overall relaxation and for aching muscle groups.

Deep tissue massages can either be directed to specific problem areas or done in a full body experience. These sessions are especially beneficial for clients with sports/exercise related injuries and chronic pain.

Lomi Lomi is a type of massage from ancient Hawaii. The strokes are long and fluid, often simulating the waves of the ocean. In this type of massage the massage therapist works on the whole body at one time, either face down or face up. By working on the body in this way, it induces bilateral stimulation of the brain, and enables clients to feel whole and harmonious in their body without distraction.

Thai massage is done in comfortable clothing on a mat on the floor. Also called, “lazy person’s yoga,” this modality includes stretching, compressions and rocking. Comfortable fitted clothes are ideal for this session (consider wearing something you would practice yoga in).

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that works with your chakras. This is a non physical session, however clients will feel movements around their body and different sensations. It’s helpful to come to all sessions with a set of intentions, but especially so for your reiki session.
