Touch is as essential to a healthy and happy life as eating right, getting proper sleep, and exercising. With the world growing more technological, the awareness of the need for healthy human contact is becoming more vital. Massage and body therapies offer an inviting, safe, healing refuge for humans living in a fast-paced, stressed-out world.

As you may know there are many different forms or styles of massage available.Basically these can be generalized into two origins: Eastern and Western. The primary difference is in their approach to the body. With Eastern styles (Shiatsu, Accupressure, Polarity, …) the work involves an understanding of the body's energy. Massage originating in the west (Swedish, Escalen, Neuromuscular Therapy, Trager, Myofascial Release, Connective Tissue Therapy, …) are based in an anatomical understanding of our body. Each person responds differently to massage and there isn't just one style which is best for all. Here at the Gemeni our therapist blends techniques from several of these styles into a massage session that is right for you.
