Center For Women


Massage Therapy and Bodywork
Because every woman deserves a good massage, the Center For Women offers body work services in the private, comfortable surroundings of the Tranquility Boutique and Café. In addition to promoting relaxation and well-being, massage offers a number of important health benefits, including:

  • Reduced heart rate and blood pressure.

  • Increased blood circulation and lymph flow.

  • Relief of muscle tension and stiffness.

  • Improved range of motion and posture.

  • Relief from tension-related headaches and eyestrain.

  • Reduced pain and swelling.

A variety of massage therapy techniques are performed at the center by nationally-certified therapists. Services are offered by individual appointment, and also as part of our Wellness Essentials service.

Massage has its greatest benefit over time, and most doctors and therapists say the more often a person gets a massage, the better he or she will feel. The therapeutic effects of massage are cumulative from one session to the next. Relaxation deepens as the chronic patterns of stress in the body are released. These changes are immediately felt in day-to-day life.

Massage also affects the mind and spirit. It brings a relaxed state of alertness to the mind, relieving mental stress, anxiety and fatigue while improving critical thinking and problem solving abilities. Massage therapy also improves a woman's self-image and sense of worth.
