Deep Tissue Massage | Relaxing Massage
Our massage therapy practice is built on the belief that the body’s symptoms are the mind’s way of communicating what’s happening beneath the surface. During each massage, we’re not just working on your muscles—we’re also helping your nervous system relax, easing away the stresses of life, and releasing tension that may have been building up over time. By being fully present during your massage, you can take those important first steps toward releasing the build-up of tension either physical, mental, or both. We understand that your physical, mental, and emotional health are all interconnected, and our approach to massage treats them as a whole.
Tension Release | Holistic Deep Tissue Massage
In addition to a deep commitment to professional and intuitive massage care, there’s a genuine passion for Body Analysis. This option offers a blend of Swedish massage and Deep Tissue massage techniques, with the option to incorporate a touch of psychosomatic analysis for a more holistic massage experience—completely tailored to your preferences. We don’t just focus on the symptoms you’re experiencing; we work to understand the root causes, whether it’s new stressors, life events, or changes in your routine, all of which can be addressed through thoughtful massage therapy. We believe in building long-term relationships through massage therapy. While a single session can certainly make a difference, finding a regular, comfortable space for ongoing massage therapy can do wonders for your nervous system, helping you maintain a healthy and strong body-mind connection over time.
Pregnancy and Post-Natal Massage
Every massage is tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re looking to ease physical tension, reconnect your body and mind, or simply enjoy some deep relaxation, we’re here to support you through this special season of life. Our goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you can truly unwind. Treatments focus on relieving sore backs, hips, shoulders, and feet, helping you feel restored, cared for, and ready to enjoy your “me time.”
Sports Massage
Sports massage therapy is a specialized treatment designed to help individuals improve their athletic performance, recover from injury, and maintain muscle health. It targets muscle groups that are frequently used in sports activities, reducing tension, improving flexibility, and promoting circulation. Ideal for athletes of all levels, or anyone with muscle discomfort from physical activity, this therapy helps prevent injuries and speeds up recovery. We are offering a personalized session tailored to your specific needs, backed by over 15 years of experience. Our therapy includes techniques such as Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Technique, Soft Tissue Release, and Muscle Energy Techniques (MET), all designed to address pain, tightness, and mobility issues. Whether you're a professional athlete or someone seeking relief from everyday physical strain, our approach will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Cupping Therapy
Our new Therapist Leny Etienne is now bringing Cupping Therapy at Abuelita's. Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice, originating in Egypt and China. It’s a non-invasive treatment where suction cups are gently placed on the skin to create a vacuum. This draws the skin and superficial muscles into the cup, increasing blood flow, easing tension, and supporting the body’s natural healing. Benefits: - Improves circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues - Relieves muscle tightness, pain, stiffness, and sports injuries - Promotes lymphatic drainage - Encourages deep relaxation and stress relief - Supports recovery from overtraining - Reduces postural and back tension - Increases flexibility and mobility Possible Side Effects: - Temporary bruising or circular marks - Mild soreness or tingling at the treatment site - Rarely, lightheadedness or nausea Use with Caution / Contraindications: - Fragile or very thin skin - Sensitive skin prone to bruising - Recent surgery (consult your surgeon first) - Chronic conditions like diabetes or cancer (medical clearance recommended)
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
A gentle way to support your body’s healing. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a soft, flowing massage that encourages your lymphatic system to do what it does best - clear away waste, reduce swelling, and restore balance. With light, rhythmic movements, this therapy helps your body feel lighter, calmer, and supported from the inside out. How MLD can help: - Speeds up healing after surgery - Eases swelling, fluid retention, and lymphoedema - Supports your immune system and circulation - Brings relief from fatigue and tension - Brightens skin and promotes deep relaxation - Different ways people use it - Recovery: after operations, managing chronic conditions, or reducing inflammation - Wellbeing: stress release, gentle detox, and pain relief - Aesthetics: reducing puffiness and improving skin tone The Godoy & Godoy Method At Abuelita’s, we also use the Godoy & Godoy method, a modern approach that gently stretches and mobilises the skin to encourage fluid movement. It focuses on areas where the body tends to hold on to fluid — like the legs, arms, and abdomen — as well as the neck and groin, where lymph nodes are most active. !!! A note of care MLD is not suitable for everyone. If you are recovering from surgery, pregnant, or living with certain health conditions (such as heart issues, infections, cancer, kidney disease, or severe asthma), please check with your doctor before booking. At Abuelita’s, we believe in therapies that nurture the whole self. MLD is here to support your recovery, your wellbeing, and those quieter moments of care your body deserves. That’s why we’ve invited Leny, an experienced therapist and veteran in the field of wellbeing, to bring her expertise in Manual Lymphatic Drainage to our community. With her skill and care, you’ll be in safe hands.
