Science is increasingly highlighting the nervous system's vital role in both physical health and emotional resilience. We recognize that a constant awareness of the nervous system is key to achieving meaningful results. All work at our clinic is trauma-informed, evidence based and rooted in nervous system health.

 

What Is the Stress Relief Massage?

This protocol was designed in 2024 by Audrey Blanchard, combining cutting-edge, evidence-based techniques. Our Stress Relief Massage is a therapeutic approach designed to support the nervous system's natural ability to restore balance encouraging a shift from the sympathetic ("fight or flight") state to the parasympathetic ("rest and digest").

Unlike a traditional massage, this innovative service offers a fully immersive and transformative experience. Therapeutic sound, aromatherapy, breath prompts, hot towels, placed hot stones, and advanced techniques blend seamlessly to create calm and restoration. The manual methods require specialized training, ensuring a high standard of care and effectiveness.

Session Options

We offer two session lengths:

Full Session: 70 minutes of hands-on time

Mini Session: 20 minutes of hands-on time

Both options are crafted to help you lose track of time, reconnect with your breath, and leave feeling tranquil. Clients frequently note benefits like reduced pain, a grounded sense of calm, fewer racing thoughts, better sleep, and more energy. These results typically last multiple days, rather than just hours and are cumulative, gaining deeper results with follow up sessions. Even the mini session has profound effects.

 

What to Expect

Each licensed massage therapist at our clinic undergoes extensive training to deliver this specialized treatment with care and precision. Your session is designed to ensure comfort and relaxation:

Limited Conversation: After the intake process, interaction is kept minimal to allow you to fully relax.

Prepaid Appointments: Payment is required beforehand for a seamless experience.

Relaxation Areas: Spend time enjoying tea or coffee, journaling, or listening to soothing music in our calming waiting area. Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your massage start time and stay at least 15 minutes after, this will allow for a smooth, unrushed transition in and out of your day to day life.

No Tips Policy: In keeping with the clinical nature of our services, tips are not accepted.

 

Proven Results

Through pre- and post-session feedback forms, we track the tangible effects of each treatment, ensuring the highest standard of care.

Evidence-Based Benefits

Below is an excerpt from a 2020 study published on the NIH website. To read the full report, click here.

"Standardized massages are capable of reliably inducing physiological and psychological states of relaxation. During the intervention, HF-HRV (a vagally-mediated heart rate variability component) and subjective relaxation increased, while subjective stress decreased significantly. Both massage protocols increased psychophysiological relaxation, making them useful tools for health and wellness."
