Relaxation Massage 

60 Minutes    $120               

90 minutes    $165

Often referred to as a Swedish massage, this is a smooth, gentle treatment that relieves muscular tension, increases circulation, and promotes a general sense of relaxation. Massage oil or lotion is used to protect the skin from friction while the massage therapist uses a variety of long gliding strokes, kneading, and gentle tapping to help the muscles relax. Cupping may be added to the treatment to help relieve tension in specific areas. This massage is individualized to meet the needs of the client.

Lymphatic Massage

60 Minutes    $160 

Lymphatic massage is a specialized massage type that gently assists the lymphatic system in maintaining the body’s fluid balance, blood circulation, and immune mechanisms. 
During a lymph drainage massage, our specially-trained massage therapist uses a series of gliding, compressing, stretching, and cupping motions over the client’s body. The light rhythmic movements, applied without massage oil, stimulate the lymphatic system without compressing the vessels – allowing lymph to move easily through the tissues and lymph nodes. Lymphatic massage follows a specific sequence over the body so lymph isn’t trapped anywhere, making sure every area is treated with care.
                     

Prenatal Massage

60 Minutes    $125 

Prenatal massages are adapted for the anatomical changes you go through during pregnancy. Prenatal massage is a type that's similar to regular massage – it aims to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, improve circulation and mobility, and just make you feel good. Prenatal massage is also customized to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies, and our therapists are trained in prenatal massage and adjust their techniques accordingly.

Deep Tissue Massage

60 Minutes    $120   

90 minutes    $165 

Deep tissue massage targets deep layers of muscle and the surrounding tissues. This is a great option to treat sports injuries or chronic pain. The therapist will target any problem areas and adjust the pressure to allow your body to heal. This is a very therapeutic form of massage and the therapist will personalize your massage to focus on your areas of concern. Cupping may be added to this type of massage to help improve circulation to problem areas.

Hot Stone Massage

60 Minutes    $140   

A hot stone massage uses the techniques of a relaxation massage with the added benefit of heat applied to the body using hot stones. These stones provide heat therapy to the muscles, which can help reduce tension and pain. The therapist places warmed stones on certain areas of the body, such as acupressure points. The stones may be used as massage tools or temporarily left in place. Used along with other massage techniques, hot stones can be quite soothing and relaxing as they transmit heat deep into the body.         

Myofascial Massage

60 Minutes    $160

Myofascial release therapy is a massage technique that focuses on relieving pain in your myofascial tissues. These are the thick connective tissues that support your muscles.Your myofascial tissue is a network of tissue that spreads throughout your entire body. It connects your muscles, joints, and bones. It also provides support to your organs, helping to keep them in place.‌ Other types of massage may be relaxing, but myofascial release therapy is often intense and painful. Your therapist will use their hands to massage and stretch your myofascial tissue and eliminate knots.

Polarity Massage

60 Minutes    $125 

Polarity therapy, or “energy medicine,” is an alternative form of touch therapy that uses a combination of eastern and western techniques. These techniques revolve around the flow and balance of energy within the human body and mind. Polarity therapy includes gentle touches. Clients can stay clothed during sessions.

Massage Therapist
Jim Ripley LMT
  • Relaxation   
  • Deep Tissue 
  • Hot Stone
  • Myofascial Release

My name is Jim Ripley. I became a Licensed Massage Therapist because I want to help people live at peace within their own body.  Every day we live with stress of one sort or another.  Job and family responsibilities weigh on our minds, the physical demands of our jobs, and even of our recreation, all pile on to give us aches and pains, and reduce our ability to function at our best.  My massage is a great way for you to get a "reset" in mind and body. I have been expertly trained by career veterans of the massage field at SpaTech Institute.  I have become very good at finding areas of tension in clients' muscles and tendons and then working to soothe those areas gently and effectively.  Depending on your particular needs, I can employ my hands, forearms, or silicone cups to break up tension and bring ease and function back to your body.  I may apply direct pressure or use a variety of stretching techniques.  If what you need is a relaxing session, I use calm music, a slower pace to my work, and longer, lighter techniques in order to induce a state of relaxation that is beneficial to your mind just as much as to your body.

The yoga classes at Wellness Hot Yoga are amazing, and the community of teachers and fellow yogis is welcoming and supportive. For a complete feeling of relaxation, I recommend treating yourself to a Polarity Massage with Tasha Gruen. She soothed my nervous system and balanced the flow of energy by gently stimulating acupressure points throughout my body. The feeling of inner calm and total physical ease I experienced all day after the treatment was beautiful; I am definitely going to Tasha again!
