Kylie Ellison, Licensed Massage Therapist

Incorporating orthopedic massage techniques into a deep tissue session means using a more targeted, clinical approach to address specific musculoskeletal issues. Alongside deep tissue work, I integrate methods like myofascial release therapy (MRT), trigger point therapy, and assisted stretching to help release chronic tension, improve range of motion, and support functional movement. This combination allows us to not only relieve muscle tightness but also address the underlying patterns contributing to pain or limited mobility. As a massage therapist, this integrative, orthopedic-focused approach is my specialty, allowing me to provide personalized care that supports both recovery and long-term wellness.

Swedish massage is a gentle, flowing style of bodywork designed to relax the nervous system and promote overall healing. Using long, soothing strokes, kneading, and light to moderate pressure, this technique helps increase circulation, reduce stress, and calm both the body and mind. By encouraging the parasympathetic nervous system to engage—our body’s natural “rest and restore” state—Swedish massage supports recovery, boosts immune function, and leaves you feeling balanced, refreshed, and deeply relaxed. It’s a wonderful option for anyone looking to unwind, relieve tension, and support their overall well-being.

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is one of the gentlest and most calming techniques I offer, and it’s something I truly love doing because of how much it can support the body’s natural healing process. Using light, rhythmic strokes, I help encourage the flow of lymph fluid, which plays a big role in your immune health and circulation. It’s especially helpful if you’re recovering from surgery, injury, or dealing with swelling or inflammation. Clients often tell me how relaxed and refreshed they feel afterward—like their body has had a chance to reset. It’s a peaceful, supportive way to reduce fluid buildup, ease tension, and help you feel more balanced from the inside out.

As of mom of three, I know just how uncomfortable pregnancy can be. I take extra care to make sure my mamas have a fantastic experience. Side lying prenatal massage is a safe, nurturing way to support the unique needs of a woman's body during pregnancy. Performed with the client comfortably lying on their side and supported by pillows, this position helps relieve pressure on the lower back, hips, and joints while promoting relaxation and circulation. Gentle, therapeutic techniques are used to ease muscle tension, reduce swelling, and support emotional well-being. Side lying positioning also ensures the comfort and safety of both parent and baby, making this style of prenatal massage a calming and effective way to care for yourself during all stages of pregnancy.

In this 30-minute sports stretching session, I focus on helping your body feel looser, more mobile, and ready for whatever activity you enjoy. Whether you're an athlete, weekend warrior, or just feeling a bit stiff, this session blends targeted massage with dynamic and assisted stretching to release tight muscles and improve your range of motion. It’s a great way to recover after a workout, prevent injury, or simply move more freely. Think of it as a quick reset for your body—designed to help you feel your best and stay active with confidence.

Hot stone massage is one of my favorite ways to help clients fully relax and let go of deep muscle tension. Using smooth, heated stones, I gently work the muscles to encourage circulation, ease stiffness, and calm the nervous system. The warmth helps the body soften and release without needing intense pressure, making it perfect for anyone looking to unwind both physically and mentally. This deeply soothing experience is not only therapeutic—it’s also incredibly comforting, leaving you feeling grounded, refreshed, and completely restored.

Thera cupping is one of the more recent techniques I’ve added to my practice, and I’ve really come to appreciate how effective it can be for releasing deep tension and promoting circulation. Using a modern cupping device, gentle suction is applied to the skin to help lift and separate soft tissue layers. This encourages blood flow, supports lymphatic movement, and helps release tight or restricted areas without the need for deep pressure. Many clients find it both relaxing and therapeutic—especially for stubborn tension, scar tissue, or post-workout recovery. It’s a great addition to your session when you’re looking for something a little different that delivers noticeable results.

Cold stone massage facials are a gentle, natural way to help ease headaches, sinus pressure, and stress—and they’ve become one of my favorite additions to offer during sessions. Smooth, chilled roller balls are gently glided across the face and placed on key points to reduce inflammation, calm the nervous system, and bring a sense of deep relaxation. I also love incorporating essential oils, like peppermint or lavender, to enhance the calming and therapeutic effects. This treatment is especially helpful during or after a headache, and it's a great option for those dealing with seasonal allergy-related pressure and congestion. Whether you're managing sinus discomfort or just need a moment of stillness, this refreshing service offers peaceful relief and a chance to reset.

I like to think of reflexology as a glorified foot massage, but with so much more to offer. It’s a technique where I apply targeted pressure to specific points on your feet that correspond to different parts of your body. This helps improve circulation, relieve tension, and support your overall well-being. While it’s incredibly relaxing, the real benefit comes from how it can help with foot discomfort, reduce stress, and promote a sense of balance throughout your body. It’s a simple yet effective way to feel good, relax, and give your body the extra care it deserves.
