Our Professional STAFF
Each Licensed Massage Therapist is trained in various modalities and all can provide firm to medium deep pressure. Some therapists also offer deep tissue massage. "Deep" is very subjective. Occasionally, clients request considerably more pressure than usual. Although we do not charge more, we suggest a generous tip for your Therapist.
FYI: Lea Wildflower is a Certified Foot Reflexologist; she does not offer massage therapy.

Ramsey Scott, Massage Therapist #9450

As most of you are aware, we are more than our bodies. Grounded in this truth, she expanded her practice with the powerful energy work Reiki, Emotion Code and Body Code.

Lea Wildflower, Certified Foot Reflexologist
Lea loves FEET! She has worked and taught in the massage profession since 1987. Currently, she offers relief and pampering especially for feet.
Your one hour session will start with a warm aromatherapy foot wrap, that begins the soothing and softening process. Lea then attends to the specific "reflex" points on each foot that promote deep relaxation and stimulate the flow of chi throughout the body. She incorporates the use of a rosewood Thai foot reflexology stick for sustained comfortable pressure.
To integrate opening of the energy in the feet with the rest of the body, Lea uses cranial sacral and polarity light touch healing points. The session comes to a close with the healing sounds of Tibetan bowl and tingsha bells.
Great medicine after walking the sidewalks and trails of Taos.
