Relax & Recover

60 - 90 Minute Massage Sessions

Whether you’re training hard in the gym, stressed out from your daily life, or need some relief from your pregnancy, we have massages that cater to your needs. When our bodies get knotted up, we suffer from restricted mobility, which inhibits your performance in the gym and throughout your day-to-day activities. Regardless of the source of your tension, our massage therapists are here to help you find relief with enjoyable and affordable 60 or 90 minutes sessions.
Swedish massage therapy is what comes to mind when most people think about massage. The primary goal of the therapeutic Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body, increase the level of oxygen in the blood, decrease muscle toxins, and improve circulation and flexibility while easing tension.
Massage therapy during pregnancy is a great complementary choice for prenatal care. It is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and swelling.
Hot stone massages ease tension, relax muscle stiffness and increases circulation and metabolism. The direct heat of the stones loosens muscles, allowing the therapist access to their deeper, tense layers. Combining hot stone protocols with a full body massage provides a very healing and effective experience.
Training hard in the gym or by playing sports leaves your body tense and knotted up. Enhance your performance with a Sports Recovery Massage that will help you to rebound from tough workouts and stimulate muscle growth.
Deep tissue massage uses firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle. It’s ideal for focusing on chronic aches and pains. It will help to relieve contracted areas, such as a stiff neck, tense shoulders, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and tension headaches.

MEET OUR MASSAGE THERAPISTS

Maria M. Ramos

Licensed Massage Therapist, graduated from American Institute School, Clifton, NJ in June 2015. I specialize in Swedish or relaxing massage, deep tissue massage, and trigger points. A massage has so many benefits for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. As well as pain relief from sore muscles, it increases flexibility, allows for relaxation, mental clarity, improved circulation, and sports recovery. My favorite massage modalities are Swedish massage & sports massage. I became a massage therapist because I have personally experienced the amazing effects of a massage and want to help others achieve optimal health. Overall, I became a massage therapist because I enjoy helping people. My philosophy about massage therapy is simple: I believe, inherently, that the human body can heal itself. I try to facilitate that through a natural healing process. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends listening to music and dancing. Places I love to travel are Aruba, Las Vegas, Puerto Rico, and Florida. Favorite quote: Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Laert Rapo

Laert graduated from Boulder Massage Therapy Institute in Boulder, Colorado where he studied a wide variety of different modalities including Shiatsu, myofascial release, trigger point release, deep tissue, sports massage, lymphatic drainage, and prenatal massage. He believes that releasing tension from the muscles is the very first step to alleviating stress and bringing the body to homeostasis. In addition, Laert is a certified Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City where he studied a wide variety of dietary theories and lifestyles from around the world. He is an avid supporter of mindfulness living. He enjoys swimming, tennis, yoga, and Tai Chi.
