While the world may change, our commitment to safety, respect, and basic human rights will remain the same.  The Well for Women uses an expansive definition of “women” as anyone who was assigned female at birth, or identifies as female, non-binary or gender-fluid.

Specialty Massage

East West Fascia Stretch Massage

Stretch Therapy + Massage + Gua Sha

Learn More

A combination of Gua Sha, PNF stretching, and traditional massage brings an increased range of motion and release fascia, all embedded in a full body massage for deep relaxation.

You will actively partner in some of the assisted/resisted stretching, which has been shown to be more effective than stretching alone.  This can be extremely beneficial if the body’s mobility and strength are becoming more limited with age. The East-West Fascia Stretch massage can improve the body’s overall flexibility and range of motion.

Only available with Eboni

90 Minutes $142

Manual Lymphatic Drainage + Therapeutic Massage

Fluid Reduction Therapy

Learn More

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) + Therapeutic Massage. An integration of gentle, repetitive compression strokes in a specific routine designed to best support your lymphatic system. This technique is ideal for reducing retained fluid resulting from oncology surgery or chronic sluggish lymphatic health conditions.

Therapeutic Scar Tissue Massage (MSTR®)

Scar Tissue Therapy Massage

Learn More

McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release ® is a pain-free, natural method of helping you with your scars. Gentle, finger-tip pressure is applied to the area to help free the restrictions that the scar has been creating over months or possibly years.

Scar tissue may restrict your fascia (connective tissue), reduce blood and lymph flow, reduce range of motion, and cause pain or numbness. Your scars may even create anxiety or impact your self-image.

MSTR® has an outstanding record of success with surgical scars, trauma wound and burn scars, deep, non-visible scarring, as well as conditions such as plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupyten’s contracture, and axillary web syndrome.

At The Well, Julie has helped clients after breast cancer surgeries, Cesarean sections, knee replacements, gender affirming surgeries, back surgeries and more. Scar tissue work is appropriate at least 12 weeks after surgery and (if recent) with clearance from your physician.

Please ask if MSTR® is right for you!

Theta Hypnosis Massage

Hypnosis + Massage (Medium Pressure)

Learn More

Massage helps down-regulate the nervous system and allow the body to produce endorphins, resulting in natural relaxation. Theta Hypnosis Massage is a fusion of massage and hypnosis for relaxation. This combination uses your own imagery to easily take you into the Theta brain wave state, the calm between restfulness and sleep. Clients remain aware and in control, but drift into a state of deep peacefulness and calm. While deeply relaxing by itself, clients are also taught cues, or “anchors”, to be able to tap into that calm in the rest of life. Please ask if you have questions! 

Only available as a 60 Minute Massage Service ($102) with Julie Robbins

Eastern Fusion Massage

Cupping Therapy Massage

Cupping + Massage

Learn More

Cupping Therapy

Cupping is a traditional East Asian therapy where cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction can promote blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and aid in healing. Cupping can be performed with heated cups (fire cupping) but at The Well we use mechanical pumps.

Cupping is commonly used to treat pain, inflammation, and muscle stiffness.

Gua Sha Healing Massage is a traditional Thai healing technique where a smooth, flat tool is used over the skin to smooth the connective tissue, or “fascia”, typically on the back or neck but legs and arms as well. This stimulates circulation, releases muscle tension, and promotes healing. It is known to help with pain relief, inflammation, and overall wellness.
