Massage

Massage is a treatment in which a therapist manipulates both the superficial and deep layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance function, aid in the healing process, reduce pain and promote relaxation and well-being. It activates the body’s natural painkillers to bring about these desired effects.

We offer a variety of massage treatments here at the Sanctuary from a 15 minute neck and shoulder massage to full hour and a half luxury treatments that will leave you in a state of pure bliss.
