Most people treat relaxation like the reward.

I treat it like the doorway.

Because the body doesn’t change when it’s bracing. It survives.

1.) The Stillpoint definition of “Relaxation"

SCHEDULE RELAXATION SESSION HERE

And survival has a posture: shoulders creeping up, jaw clenching, breath flattening, ribs locking down, hips gripping like they’re trying to hold the world together. Stress becomes a choreography you don’t remember learning. Pain becomes a language you didn’t ask to speak.

Over time, the nervous system starts calling that baseline “normal.”

So here’s the Stillpoint definition, in simple terms:

Relaxation is the moment your system stops defending long enough to reorganize.

That’s the Stillpoint — when the internal noise quiets just enough for signal to return. When your body stops negotiating with gravity and starts cooperating with it.

This isn’t a spa fantasy. This is practical. This is clinical. This is also an art.

Because Stillpoint isn’t a rigid method. It’s a principle: keep what works, discard what doesn’t.

That’s why the goal isn’t a perfect posture myth. The goal is simpler and more real:

• a nervous system that feels safe enough to move

• a body that can sense itself again

• a pattern you can train until it becomes yours (not something that happens on my table)

In Stillpoint language: Downshift the defense → restore sensation → rebuild options.

Relaxation is where we intercept the loop. Not by overpowering it — by understanding it. When the system stops resisting, the work becomes clean. When it resists, nothing sticks.

Start with the truth: What do you want back?
Not what you can tolerate. Not what sounds impressive. What you want back.

A.) You want calm, sleep, and a quieter baseline?

Choose:

• Swedish Massage → Steady rhythm, Full-body reset → (link: Swedish)

• Lomi-Lomi Hawaiian Massage → Flow state, Continuous rhythm, Whole-body exhale → (link: Lomi-Lomi)
  

If you’re new or unsure: start with Swedish Massage. It’s the traditional favortite of many.

B.) You want deeper relief, but you don’t want a fight

Choose:

• Deep Tissue Swedish → Slow, specific depth without backlash → (link: Deep Tissue Swedish)

• Bamboo Fusion → Warmth + steady compression (smooth depth, no grinding) → (link: Bamboo Fusion)

Translation: Depth is allowed — we just don’t pay for it with flare-ups.

C.) You want mobility — space in hips, ribs, shoulders

Choose:

• Thai Yoga Massage → assisted stretching + positioning that restores options → (link: Thai Yoga)
  

D.) You’re overloaded — sensitive, fried, overstimulated

Choose:

• Craniosacral Therapy → quiet downshift, subtle signal > force → (link: Craniosacral)

Rule of thumb:
If you don’t know, start with Swedish. You can always try a Deep Tissue Swedish massage later. Start with safety. Start with signal.

2.) Choose your Relaxation Massage (Decision Tree)

SCHEDULE YOUR MASSAGE HERE

This is the Relaxation Massage hub. Each style below has its own menu-page to help you select a massage style best suited for you.

Swedish Massage — Reset the Baseline

Swedish massage is rhythm and steadiness. It’s the nervous system recognizing: “I don’t have to guard right now.” A nervous-system safe reset that doesn’t ask you to “power through.”

Effleurage - Long strokes that connect the whole. To warm the tissue and tell your system it’s safe. Fluid rhythmic pace, providing a serene calm. Pressure that brings harmony to the soul.

Petrissage - (kneading/lifting) to reduce that “stuck” feeling. Gentle and compressive, yet intentional and firm - communicating to the muscles that tension doesn't live there. To a devoted Swedish Massage Therapist, Petrissage is medicine for the muscles.

A little Friction/Tapotement/Vibration - Only if it serves the goal — never to prove a point. If the goal calls for it, the triad of techniques work in sympatico to address underlying issues. They are the telescope lens to the eyes and soul of a massage therapist.

Best for: Stress relief, reduced tension, sleep disruption, first-time clients, desk-worker overload.

Deep Tissue Swedish — Depth without Punishment

Not “dig and endure.” Not a toughness test.
This is slow, specific, intentional depth delivered at a pace the nervous system can accept — so your body doesn’t rebound into defense the moment you leave.

Best for: Stubborn muscle tightness, athletic recovery, deeper relief that sticks.

→ Read Deep Tissue Swedish (link)

Lomi-Lomi Hawaiian Massage — Flow State

Continuous strokes and unbroken rhythm. Less “working on parts,” more “reconnecting the whole.”
For the person who feels fragmented: tight everywhere, restless, mind loud, breath shallow.

Best for: Whole-body reset, mental overload, fatigue, Full-body meditation.

→ Read Lomi-Lomi Hawaiian Massage (link)

Thai Yoga — Mobility + Space

Assisted stretching and guided positioning—bodywork that restores movement awareness.
This is especially powerful when “tightness” is really a mobility problem in disguise.

Best for: stiff hips/back/shoulders, athletes, desk-worker rigidity, range-of-motion goals.

→ Read Thai Yoga Massage (link)

Bamboo Fusion — Warmth + Steady Pressure

Warm tools + Smooth compression. Consistent depth without the grind.
For many bodies, warmth and heat is the key that stops resistance. Using the rigid surfaces of bamboo tools + a heating pad for the bamboo to melt away tension = a flexible version of you to remember.

Best for: broad back/leg tension, improving sleep, chronic muscle tightness, pressure without intensity, full-body restoration + deep meditation.

→ Read Bamboo Fusion (link)

Craniosacral Therapy — Quiet Signal (Unwinding the Cord)

Subtle work for systems that are overloaded, sensitive, or constantly “on.” (think of the person who never turns off the light switch in a room - except the room is your mind)

Craniosacral Therapy is gentle holds and grounding work that aims to help your system downshift, soften protective tone, and find a calmer baseline — without needing deep pressure or intensity.

When the nervous system is loud, force often fails. Quiet changes the channel. Subtle, light pressure cranial holds (nervous-system downshift) + decompressive sacrum (low back) bodywork + gentle grounding techniques = Unwinding the cord, helping to find your Stillpoint.

Best for: high stress load, sensitivity to pressure, nervous system fatigue, deep meditation "I can't fully shut off".

SCHEDULE YOUR RELAXATION TIME

Step 1 — Quick Intake (5–10 minutes)

You tell me what you want back: calmer baseline, improved sleep quality, less muscle tension, better movement, better recovery.
I listen for the pattern — what your body repeats under stress and mechanial load.

Step 2 — The Session (Downshift + Precision)

We choose the style that matches your system that day.

Pressure rule: Effective, not Excessive.
If your body tightens and breathing gets shallow, that’s defense — not progress. We adjust to your benefit.

No rigid program, no ideology. We keep what proves useful and discard what doesn’t. Simple over complex.

Step 3 — Keep the Change (Simple, not Performative)

If it fits, you leave with one or two simple resets - simple takeaways for the future that add to your "healing tool belt."

Not a lifestyle overhaul. Not a routine you’ll abandon.

A minimum effective practice so relief doesn’t evaporate as soon as life gets busy. Habits that you slowly build for life.

4.) What to Expect (Stillpoint Flow)

START TODAY - SCHEDULE YOUR RELAXATION MASSAGE

                             Duration

• 60 minutes: Strong reset, great for maintenance, easy to fit into real life

• 90 minutes: Best for first-time clients, high stress load + fatigue, or anyone who needs extra runway before the nervous system truly lands.

                       Frequency (3-Phase Model)

Phase 1 — Reset: 1x/week for [3–4] weeks (disrupt the “always on - stress response”, recover back to baseline)

Phase 2 — Stabilize: every 2–4 weeks (hold the gains)

Phase 3 — Build (Scaling): if your pattern returns, we layer in clinical massage/structural work + movement practice + mind, muscle connection training.

           Relaxation is the doorway. Building is the next room.

5.) Frequency + Duration (Simple Plan)

DISCOVER YOUR STILLPOINT - SCHEDULE YOUR MASSAGE HERE

Will I be sore?

Sometimes and mildly. The goal is not “wrecked.” We aim for change without backlash.

What should I wear?

Swedish / Deep Tissue Swedish / Lomi-Lomi Hawaiian Massage / Bamboo Fusion are typically performed on skin with professional draping.

Clothing is optional and completely up to you. All draping is performed to the standards and accordance of Utah's State laws Massage Therapy Act.

Thai Yoga Massage is usually clothed.

Craniosacral is comfortable clothing but can be integrated to any relaxation massage style.

How do I know which style is right?

• If you’re uncertain, start with Swedish Massage, which uses light pressure and fluid relaxation strokes.

• If you need mobility and deep assisted stretching, Thai Yoga Massage is very helpful.

• If you want depth without a fight, Deep Tissue Swedish.

• Craniosacral therapy can be its own session or integrated; the choice is yours.

Where do clients normally come from?

I’m studio-based in Millcreek (Salt Lake City area). People commonly drive in from nearby SLC neighborhoods and surrounding areas like Holladay, Sugar House, Murray, Cottonwood Heights, Midvale, Sandy, and Draper.

If you’re farther out but Stillpoint feels like a fit, it’s still workable — just plan a little extra travel time.

Do you offer Mobile Massage services?

By request, yes — when scheduling, location, and conditions make sense.
For the latest info, see the: → (Mobile Massage Service Areas)

A) Please Schedule in Advance (I do my best to plan my schedule in advance to help serve as many people as I possibly can, so it's very difficult for me to book on short notice or same day.)

B) If the location is reasonable in distance, safe, and climate/terrain conditions allows. With Utah weather and rapid changing climates, this can determine if Mobile Massage services on a particular day are appropriate.

C) If you are ok with annoying reservation + travel fees on top of the service pricing. Totally fine if you aren't, please visit my small studio in Millcreek, Utah and schedule here.

Please consider the following - depending on the location, climate, and terrain conditions, I will be travelling to your location (sometimes it's a home, apartment or hotel room), bringing a table + supplies, setting up + breaking down the workstation, and working around your personal time + space.

Reservation Fees in Salt Lake County + Davis County: $25 (Outside of Salt Lake + Davis County: $50)

Travel Fees in Salt Lake County + Davis County: $25 (Outside of Salt Lake + Davis County: starts at $50 and to be discussed depending on your county location)

Travel Fees Outside of Utah County + Weber County: starts at $100 and may be subject to a mileage fee of $3.00 a mile - pricing is subject to change without notice and can be discussed privately)

I’m not sure if I need relaxation or something more clinical.

Start with relaxation if your system is on edge, sleeping poorly, or everything feels “guarded.”

If pain patterns keep returning, we step into the clinical/structural lane next.
