REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST
Scarlet Powell
Registered Massage Therapist
Scarlet’s technique is slow, rhythmic, and gradual as she thoroughly treats areas of soft tissue dysfunction. She works by the principle that calming the nervous system invites muscles to soften and treatment to be most effective. Therefore, though she uses deep tissue, active release, PNF stretching, and trigger point release techniques when appropriate, the overall experience is deeply relaxing.
Craig Malone
Registered Massage Therapist
Craig has a passion for massage therapy and views the modality as a form of communication. Working with the body, not just on the body, he uses advanced neurological techniques to relieve tension and stress. To effectively accomplish this, no oils or lotions are used during a session. Craig specializes in deep tissue, myofascial release, nerve flossing, and lymphatic drainage.
