Thai Massage (Nuad Boran)
Perfect for: Improved mobility, energy flow, and assisted stretching.
Thai Massage was born in India where it was steeped in Ayurvedic and Yogic wisdom traditions. It then made its way to Thailand where it crossed streams with Thai healing traditions and was named Nuad Boran, or “traditional massage”. It is an excellent method to address both physical and energetic wellbeing.
Thai is practiced fully clothed on a cushioned floor mat. Your therapist will use their hands, thumbs, elbows, knees, and feet to soften your tissues and open your energetic channels (sen) with a simple yet effective compression-and-release technique. They will then use yoga-like stretches to help mobilize your joints, tissues and move life energy (lom). Like western massage techniques, Thai promotes relaxation, relieves pain, improves circulation, range of motion, and overall well-being.
Booking Note: Because Thai Massage addresses the whole body, it takes at least 90 blissful minutes to complete. Depending on your needs and desires, you may book a 90 or 120 minute appointment. These times include 80 and 110 minutes of hands-on time respectively. Please fill out all intake forms prior to arrival to avoid getting less hands-on time.
Integrated Therapeutic Massage
Perfect for: Stress relief, pain management, and relaxation (Deep Tissue / Swedish).
Your massage therapist will skillfully design a personalized plan to meet your needs and goals. Whether you need Deep Tissue work for chronic pain or a lighter touch for relaxation, every session is customized for you.
The session is done on a massage table, often with oil or cream. You can undress to your level of comfort and you will be draped for complete modesty. Depending on your needs and desires, you may book a 60 or 90 minute appointment. These times include 50 and 80 minutes of hands-on time respectively. Please fill out all intake forms prior to arrival to avoid getting less hands-on time.
What Our Clients Say
“I have gotten many massages over the years, and Dustin’s massages have been the best. I always sleep so much better afterwards. Dustin is amazing!”
— Robin R.
“Before I was Dustin’s client, massage was a luxury item I gave myself once a year. Now, I work an extra shift to make massage with Dustin a priority! He has an intuition I have not experienced with many therapists. I love that he is open to requests when I have a sore spot and need more work on that area. But honestly I don’t have to ask for it because his hands always find the places that need help!
Dustin’s various life experiences bring a unique body awareness to the table. His skills have helped with sciatica, knee issues, headaches and have overall improved my neck pain and sleep.
At the time I received my first massage, I was deeply grieving the loss of my service dog. Dustin’s healing touch helped soothe my spirit, uplift my mental fog and gave me comfort in a stressful life transition.
I’m thankful to find someone who not only has the skills but the desire to help people. Whether you’re in pain, or seek a delightful massage experience, I highly recommend, Dustin!”
