Massage Therapy Sessions include:
Thai Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, and Reflexology


Massage Sessions can be 60 or 90 minutes, and the client can dress to their comfort level. Depending on the type of massage requested, too much clothing can hamper the therapist’s ability to provide a thorough treatment. This can be discussed at the beginning of the session. Clients will also have a choice of lotion or oil used, or can bring their own product. Whatever modality you choose, expect to walk away feeling relaxed and rejuvenated!



Adam Riggio, LMT, is a gentle and calm soul who finds joy in helping others. Having practiced martial arts since 1994, he felt a special connection to the art of Tai Chi and later to Qigong. In 2018, Adam pursued education in several healing modalities, earning his license in Massage Therapy and certifications in Acupressure, Reiki, and Qigong. He became especially passionate with his Acupressure studies, where the focus was on chronic pain and emotions, as well as working with trauma. He recently became certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Tui Na. Adam can incorporate this into his massage and energy work to give clients a holistic healing experience.

Adam believes strongly that a person’s innate ability to heal themselves in mind, body, and spirit. He will help you recognize what is causing your “dis-ease” and help empower you to take charge of finding your own energetic balance.

Adam also holds a Master’s in Education. Coupled with his many years of martial arts training and teaching, ranging from self-defense, exercise for senior citizens, and work with at-risk youth, Adam can tailor his teaching to the needs of each individual.

Massage Therapy

Utilizes many different techniques to relieve tension and soreness in the muscles and joints of the body. Each client will talk with the therapist about what to expect, which modality will be used, and their goals for the session. Individuals are encouraged to communicate their comfort level regarding pressure and/or technique during the massage session.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is used to address chronic muscle knots and stubborn tension in the body. The therapist will use deeper pressure, trigger-point therapy, and slower strokes to relieve tension in the deepest layers of the muscles and connective tissue. Myofascial Release techniques can be incorporated for a deeper treatment that is sure to help you feel more relaxed and tension-free.

Relaxing and therapeutic massage. Massage doesn't have to hurt. Massages are meant to help your body learn a better way of being. If your massage hurts come see ours. Adam Riggio and Abigail Rausch

Thai Massage

Thai massage is a therapeutic modality that improves circulation, flexibility, and sleep while decreasing stress, anxiety, and muscle and joint pain. The practitioner will use their hands, elbows, knees, and feet to compress and gently stretch the client. The client will be guided through several postures and positions to receive a full body (and mind!) experience.
Unlike Swedish massage, no oils or lotions are used, and the client remains fully clothed. A massage table is used so clients of any age and physical condition can experience the benefits. Due to the nature of this practice, clients are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and a hair tie for longer hair. If you have any injury, please discuss it with the therapist before your session.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a healing modality based on the principle that there are areas and points on the feet (as well as the hands and ears) that are connected through the nervous system to corresponding parts of the body. When pressure is applied to these areas and points, it stimulates the movement of energy along the nerve channels and helps to restore homeostasis in the body. 

Our feet take a beating! They constantly support our weight throughout the day, as we walk many miles and engage in other everyday activities. Plus, they do this in footwear that constricts and squeezes, making their job that much more difficult. It’s no wonder they can accumulate tension and fatigue. Since the body is seen as a single unit (not just feet, ankles, legs, etc.), this built-up tension can affect other parts of the body. By treating the feet, we can say we are treating the whole body. A Reflexology session is 60 minutes that your feet will thank you for!
