Welcome to Gentle Balance Massage
Welcome to Gentle Balance! Your continued support encourages us to support the community by uplifting your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
Our daily lives — especially around the holidays — can be filled with exceptional stress, and we want to provide a space of healing, calm, and wellness for those who need it. Because we are a private studio with no foot traffic, we feel comfortable providing that space while protecting the vulnerable members of our communities from COVID-19 exposure and seasonal illness.
New Services for Mental Wellbeing
With so many of us feeling isolated and stressed, as well as continuing to exercise caution over our health, we can so easily feel deprived of nurturing touch. Massage is one way to regain that connection and to nourish our souls, and training in new techniques to augment the positive mental effects of bodywork has been our recent priority. With that in mind, we have a few new services coming soon to support your wellness this season.
Hypnotherapy Massage
This holistic blend of massage and hypnotherapy is a profound experience of mental and physical healing. The natural trance-like state during massage, enhanced by guided therapeutic imagery, suspends the conscious mind, allowing for the opening of the subconscious to positive suggestions. These gentle words bring you to a deeper level of relaxation and affirm you towards new patterns of being.
Working together in harmony, both therapies help heal chronic stress, general aches and pains, and tension throughout the body and mind. A moment to check-in before each session ensures the experience is tailored to your individual goals.
Soulagement | Anxiety & Depression Relief Massage
Soulagement, or “a sense of relief”, is a deeply relaxing blend of therapies including reflexology, acupressure, guided breathing, and aromatherapy, supported by compassionate presence. Assist and enliven the body’s innate ability to unwind and recalibrate to its natural flow, moving through the symptoms of depression and anxiety towards lightness and ease.
Tension and disconnection in our bodies and minds can stem from the everyday challenges of modern life, as well as our deeper losses and traumas. Because of these stressors both big and small, our body can settle into fatigue, difficulty focusing, irritability and physical pain.
This type of bodywork offers tangible support for healing or managing difficult emotions. It can also help to empower anyone who wants to experience more vitality in daily life.
Updated Health & Safety Protocols
Your health and safety remain our essential priority. We continue to follow recommended sanitation and health practices to reduce exposure or spread of the coronavirus, flu and RSV. Here are the measures we have in place:
Masks are still recommended for maximum prevention. We will provide disposable masks for clients who arrive without their own.
If you prefer not to wear a mask while face down, we have developed a safe alternative to reduce exposure.
Hand sanitizer and soap are provided in no-touch dispensers.
Surfaces throughout the studio are cleaned before and between clients with a high-grade CDC-approved disinfectant.
We have installed a HEPA air filter to improve air circulation and condition in treatment rooms.
All linens and face rest covers are changed between clients, as always.
We are monitoring our health and expect that you do the same. If you feel unwell for any reason, please contact us and reschedule for another time.
We ask that you please also observe the following practices to keep us and yourself safe:
Take your temperature before leaving for your appointment.
Remove your shoes at the door when you enter.
Use the restroom to wash your hands before your service.
Place your personal belongings in the sanitized bin (marked with a sign).
Use hand sanitizer as needed.
Please limit conversation during your massage — use the time to relax instead!
