Therapeutic Blend Massage
Our therapeutic blend massages are tailored to fit your needs. Your body is unique and we're glad to customize a treatment that's just as unique. If you are unsure about what sort of massage is good for you, Therapeutic Blend is a great place to start. When you arrive for your appointment, your massage therapist will meet with you to discuss your areas of concern, pain, or imbalance and tailor their massage accordingly.
Your Therapeutic Blend may include deep tissue, Swedish, myofascial release, & stretching techniques.
Deep Tissue Massage
Having issues with tense, tight muscles? Have a knot the size of Texas? You probably need some deep tissue work. During a deep tissue massage, your therapist will sink into your muscles with the intention of breaking up muscle fibers that have gotten stuck, smooth out knots, lengthen muscles that have shortened, and increase circulation to the deeper layers of tissue.
Deep tissue isn't meant to hurt, so while we're working on the deeper muscles, you'll leave feeling relaxed.
Availavle with Lacy, Bethany, Brandon, Chelsea
Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage Therapy
If you’ve never had an ashi massage, you’re in for a treat- this is luxurious bodywork like you’ve never experienced before! This technique uses deep compression effleurage to relax the muscles & move the lymphatic system. The deep work is performed with the therapist's feet- making it perfect for the person who can never seem to get enough pressure. You’ll leave your session feeling brand new!

Reiki & Chakra Balancing
Reiki is an energy work modality that works on the idea that human beings are energetic beings who are surrounded in energy. This energy is accessible by anyone at any time and can be directed and amplified for the benefit of relaxation and healing. Reiki is a Japanese technique meaning “divine universal life energy” that was developed by Mikao Usui in 1922. Your Reiki practitioner will draw the universal energy from the world around them and through their bodies, focusing the energy into their palms, which can then be transferred to you by touch and intention. Reiki can be combined with massage therapy in sessions 75 minutes or longer.
Reiki energywork is available with Brandon, Chelsea, April, and Charley. Massage with Reiki is available with Chelsea and Brandon.
Thai Massage on the Mat
Fully clothed "lazy yoga" style massage, incorporating deep stretching & acupressure to relax the body & provide better flexibility. This technique works on the meridians of the body to open up the energy channels, improving vitality & flow. Trust us, this is even better than you can imagine!
Please wear comfy clothes - long sleeves & pants preferred. Service available with Brandon.
Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage is very similar to regular massage in that its purpose is toease sore muscles, improve circulation and lymph flow, and to restore and balance your body during this time of extra physical and emotional stress. This type of work focuses on the areas put under extra stress during pregnancy due to the center of gravity being altered. A pregnant body is continuously morphing and adjusting, and a trained therapist will know how to cater to a growing mother and child.
Available with Chelsea, Lacy, Bethany
Hot Stones Massage
Hot stone massage is quite possibly one of the most relaxing massages we offer due to the heat reaching deep layers of the muscles. Using large heated balsam stones, the therapist performs what is similar to a Swedish massage to warm and relax the muscles. Some stones are placed on key points to sedate and comfort the mind and body. The goal is to promote circulation and metabolism all while deeply relaxing tight and sore tissues.
Available with Brandon.
Hot Towel Aromatherapy Massage
So luxurious! This treatment begins with hot towels applied to the face, and then a detailed face and scalp massage with our house-made Dewy Face Serum. With sesame and rose hip oils and essential oils of helichrysum and German chamomile, our serum is nourishing for dry, delicate, and aging skin, while not being too heavy for oily skin.
Available with Brandon.
CranioSacral Therapy & SomatoEmotional Release
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is considered one of the subtle therapies, though its effects can be anything but subtle.This light touch modality works to allow the body to make adjustments while the therapist releases restrictions surrounding the central nervous system. Reducing these restrictions allows the body to self-correct, which helps to alleviate a number of ailments. Please wear soft comfy clothes as CST is received while fully clothed.SomatoEmotional Release is the facilitated clearing of old trauma, stored in the body. This work doesn't always come up in CST, especially during the first session. We will discuss further upon meeting.

Hands of Light Energywork
Hands of Light Energywork is healing worked with hands on & around the body. The intent (energy follows intention) is to balance and stabilize the energy centers (chakras) and the electromagnetic field (aura). This work assists in clearing energy blocks & patterns that no longer serve, while promoting physical, mental, emotional, & spiritual stability and well-being.
Hands on Light Energywork, a form of Bioenergetics, is based on the premise that the mind and the body function as one, not separate from the other.
Available with Susan
Releasing Ceremony
Come sit in sacred ceremony with April for releasing what no longer serves you. This is a safe space to move through grief or life transitions. Unburden your heart!
We will light a candle and sip herbal tea while we discuss what you're working through. We may work with tarot and oracle cards for divine guidance. Then you'll relax into energy work under a cozy blanket while April works to release stagnant energies and attachments. We will end with a smoke cleansing to clear your auric field and leave you feeling lighter and brighter.
New Client FAQ
What is your cancellation policy?
White Willow Massage Therapy enforces a cancellation policy. We ask that you respect our time just as we respect yours. In the event of cancellation, we require 24-hour notice. Without proper notice, therapist reserves the right to charge a 50% cancellation fee. Therapist will assume that client is a no-show if the client is more than 15 minutes late, in which case a 100% no-show fee will apply.
Is massage right for me?
Chances are, yes! However, massage is not suitable for some medical conditions such as acute inflammatory conditions including lymphedema, fever or contagious illness, and blood clot disorders, to name a few. If you're uncertain if massage is safe for you, please contact your primary care provider.
Do I have to undress completely?
You should always feel comfortable during your massage. After a brief intake, your therapist will leave the room to allow you to undress to your comfort level. White Willow Massage Therapy practices conservative draping, ensuring that you'll never feel exposed. We will only uncover the area of your body that we're working on. Some clients are comfortable being completely undressed while others prefer to leave on undergarments. Some clients will be more comfortable with some articles of clothing on. Any of these options are completely acceptable.
Does deep tissue massage hurt?
The short answer is no. However, your deep tissue massage may feel intense at times. If you're ever feeling pain, you should let your therapist know immediately and she will adjust the pressure to your comfort. Remember that your nerve endings are your own and we can't feel your feelings.
Should I tip my massage therapist?
Sure! While tips aren't mandatory by any means, they are appreciated. Massage is an important part of your wellness routine. If finances are an issue, do not feel obligated to tip.
How should I expect to feel after a massage? What about aftercare?
After your massage, you should feel relaxed, physically, energetically, and emotionally. You may feel invigorated, sleepy, or hungry. We recommend that you drink plenty of water, eat healthy food, and get plenty of rest. If you feel sore the next day, let your massage therapist know and she will adjust the massage pressure accordingly.
How often should I have a massage?
Every body is different. Some clients see us weekly, while others come in every six weeks. For regular maintenance, just like changing the oil in your car, we recommend at least one massage per month to keep your mind and body healthy and happy.
Are you located downtown? What about parking?
We are located dowtown, but just barely. You can find us easily from New Circle Road at either the Richmond Road exit or Winchester Road exit. We have a parking lot directly behind our office, so you won't have to worry about finding a spot on the street.
How do I cancel or reschedule my appointment?
If you need to cancel or reschedule, you may do so from the appointment confirmation email you received upon booking your appointment. If you lost the email, no worries, please email us whitewillowlex@gmail.com
