Stress and anxiety are over-rated so why not come in for some soothing massage and stress relief?
Benefits of Massage Therapy for Stress:
- Improve mood
- Better eating habits
- Lower anxiety
- Sleep better
- Physical changes including- chest pain, headaches, sex drive, upset stomach
A sustained fight-or-flight state of being can cause problems. In fact, WebMD warns that constant stress actually becomes “distress — a negative stress reaction. Being in constant distress can lead to physical symptoms including headaches, upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and problems sleeping. Research suggests that stress also can bring on or worsen certain symptoms or diseases.”
Virtually every symptom listed by the American Psychological Association can benefit from massage. Research has shown that it can lower your heart rate and blood pressure, relax your muscles and increase the production of endorphins, your body’s natural “feel good” chemical. Serotonin and dopamine are also released through massage, and the result is a feeling of calm relaxation that makes chronic or habitual as well as acute or short-term stress much easier to overcome.
Taking care of your body should be at the top of your priorities. By adding therapeutic massage to your routine now, you’ll feel, look and simply be healthier. In fact, stress relief alone can improve your vitality and state of mind. So what better way to prep for a long, happy life than a relaxing, therapeutic massage?
In addition to stress relief, ongoing massage therapy has exponential benefits and can reduce pain, increase energy levels and improve overall physical and mental performance.

As an esthetitian I used Marilene’s skin products and loved them. When I heard she was now doing massage as well I just had to get in to see her. I don’t really have any pain but I really needed to relax. The room is well decorated, with a welcoming of warmth and comfort. I like that she uses an infra red heater it helped to penetrate deeper in my muscles relaxing me before the massage even started.
The massage was great. Marilene was very attentive to specific areas like my neck and shoulders smoothing out the tension I carry there. By the time Marilene was done I didn’t want to get up or leave the room. I could have stayed a few more hours just relaxing. I’m so glad I went to see her. I knew she would be outstanding and pay attention to my needs. I would recommend Marilene. Toni Fenley

Marilene has been helping me with a shoulder injury. Her knowledgeable aproach to massage has helped bring back mobility I hadn’t had for over a year. After only three visits, I finally feel like I’m healing.

Marilene did a great job working out a painful knot in my shoulder. I felt like she hand a good handle on what needed to be done and with just one session, I felt so much better. She really worked that knot loose for me. I would definitely go back!

She focuses on what needs attention, which can vary from session to session. She offers tips and exercises to further my progress. Her focus is on my heath and comfort.
Most notably, with Marilene, any progress made, stays.

Marilene has helped me in so many ways. Her kind, soft voice and her expertise in massage are to be noted with a smile =) I came in with years of neck pain which is complicated by injury and bad posture habits. She has helped me through migraines which come with the neck pain. I understand what is happening with my body much more, as she takes the time to explain it, and gives me exercises, stretches, and therapeutic self care at home to support what she does. I am hopeful for the first time that I do not have to just live with the pain. She will check in on me after a session where we have worked through a particularly hard area, to see if I am ok. I highly recommend her services.
