Welcome! There are so many benefits to massage. From reducing muscle tension and pain to emotional stress relief, massage is a whole-body therapy. Life is tough, stress builds up, and injuries can happen. Massage therapy can help balance your needs when your body starts carrying this stress.

I'm Emiley! I received my massage certificate in 2012. Living passionately for natural health and wellness, healing is my mission at Balanced Kneads Massage Therapy. My intuitive therapy sessions are always designed to fit your specific needs and goals whether that be a condition-specific treatment, or just wanting to experience total blissed out relaxation. My specialized training includes advanced neurofascial cupping techniques, deep tissue, trigger point, PNMT, kinesiology taping, prenatal, pre/post-surgical recovery, MLD facial cupping, and thermal body wraps!

I look forward to the opportunity to bring relaxation and healing into your life. Contact me today to schedule a session and experience the benefits of therapeutic massage.

Cupping Therapy: Silicone or glass vacuumed cups are used to separate and reduce tension on the skin and connective tissues underneath. Cupping can be effectively used before or after any form of exercise to help remove waste products such as lactic acid from the muscles and surrounding tissues. A buildup of these waste products in the muscles can lead to soreness and tightness. Cupping therapy helps lifts up the tissue, increasing blood flow to the area. Increased blood flow can then drain out these waste products from the tissues and replace them with oxygen and nutrients!

Deep Tissue Therapy: An advanced technique focused on manipulating deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. In addition to promoting overall wellness and relaxation, the specific lengthening of fascia, muscles, and tendons offers many benefits such as increased joint mobility, quick injury recovery, and overall feelings of well-being. Targets chronic patterns of pain and tension with compressions and active-isolated stretching.

Prenatal Therapy- Specialized technique that uses a body cushion bolster system, so that the person may lay supine (face down) feeling completely supported during the therapeutic session. Designed to reduce pain and discomfort associated with strained and stretched out muscles and joints, as well as decrease swelling, increase circulation, and boost the immune system.

Kinesiology Taping- Kinesio tape applied at end of the therapeutic session for specific conditions or general pain. This tape is designed to increase range of motion and provide support, decrease pain and discomfort, decrease swelling to injuries, and create an environment for faster healing. By offloading the tissue, the tape creates more space in the area expanding healing beyond your time on the table!

Thermal Body Wrap-Take your therapeutic session to the next level with a sauna-like experience. This 75-minute luxurious heated body wrap will exfoliate, hydrate, and melt the body and mind into ultimate relaxation. Thermal body wraps increase blood flow, soothe painful nerve endings, rehabilitate sore muscles, speed up recovery after sprains and strains, and ultimately help reduce muscle tension and stress. Each wrap session begins with whole-body dry brushing to exfoliate, promote lymph flow, increase blood circulation, and boost collagen production. Next, choose your essential oil infused body butter. Blends to choose from target sore muscles, joint health, inflammation, and tranquility. Now, you get wrapped up in a cozy cocoon! Bliss out to meditative tones, enjoy an infrared foot or scalp massage, hot Himalayan salt stone massage, or facial cupping while warming up. Each session is personalized to your individual needs and goals. *Complimentary body brush included.
