Deep Tissue
You know that feeling after a great workout, when your muscles are buzzing and your body's feeling alive? Well, imagine dialing that up a notch with a sports massage. It's like hitting the reset button for your muscles, easing away any tightness or soreness so you can keep on going. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a seasoned athlete, a sports massage is like giving your muscles a warm hug after a tough workout.
Ever feel like your muscles are holding onto stress like a clenched fist? That's where a deep tissue massage swoops in like a superhero. It's like getting to the root of those knots and tension spots, gently coaxing them to let go. With firm pressure and targeted techniques, it's all about helping you breathe a sigh of relief. So, whether you've been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders or just need some TLC for those hard-working muscles, a deep tissue massage is like hitting the reset button for your body.
Swedish
Hot Stone
Ever had that feeling of sinking into a cozy bed after a long day? That's what a Swedish massage is like for your whole body. It's all about easing tension and giving you that 'ahh' moment. With gentle strokes and calming scents, it's like a big hug for your muscles. So, if you're craving some relaxation and me-time, a Swedish massage is where it's at.
Heated stones glide over your skin, melting away tension
and leaving you feeling
utterly blissful.
It's like wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket of relaxation while soothing warmth penetrates deep into your muscles, releasing knots and soothing aches. Whether you're seeking relief from everyday stress or simply craving a moment of pure indulgence, a hot stone massage offers a luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

"I have been to Michael 5 times now, and have purchased the package to continue going. I hold a lot of tension in my neck & upper back & he has continuously worked a lot on that area, along with the full body massage. He gives a GREAT massage and actually spends the full hour or so on me, which is not always the case with some other massage therapists. He genuinely cares about his clients. On my last visit, he suggested that he try a little different approach to work on my neck area, so it was obvious that he had given my issue a lot of thought! It is getting better now, thanks to Michael. I highly recommend him!"

"Went in for a Swedish massage yesterday, and left feeling so much better! Highly recommend to anyone looking to not only feel better physically, but emotionally too. Michael was so personable, and helped me relax more than any massage therapist I've been to in the past. He encourages deep breathing throughout the massage and coaches you through different stretches and relaxing muscles I'd give 10 stars if I could! I'll definitely be going back consistently."

"Michael was excellent. Today was my first experience with him (at Amani Tiba). He truly knew what he was doing, very confident in his skills and very professional. The massage room was warm, very clean and very welcoming. He offered me water, told me to take my time before and after the massage, and really worked on every muscle in my body. He really was excellent. And since I was a new client, he took the time to explain his training and what I should expect. He emphasized breathing and building massage into ones health and fitness routine. I really enjoyed the session and will go back. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone."
