Massage & FST
Living an active life is much more enjoyable and sustainable when we feel good moving. By lessening your internal resistance and tension, you are capable of taking of greater external resistance. This enables you to move about feeling lighter, more efficient, and grants your body the ability to recover faster in between workouts.We currently offer traditional massage therapy, fascial stretch therapy (FST) & thai massage sessions.Learn more…
Life Coaching
Exercise & personal training are certainly major components of living a high quality of life. In fact, most of the results obtained from an exercise program are the direct result of an individual’s choices and time management skills outside the personal fitness studio. Understanding one’s values and where exercise fits in to their schedule is a critical deciding factor to whether or not someone lives an active life that they enjoy.
