Long-stemmed roses? Been there. Chocolate-covered strawberries? Got that?

Are you looking for more ways to express your love to your significant other this Valentine’s Day?

Why not give them the gift of a Nourishing Massage this Valentine’s Day?

Here are four reasons why giving the gift of a Nourishing Massage should be at the top of your Valentine’s Day gift list.

1. Relieves Stress and Increases Relaxation
   Massage calms the nervous system. It puts it in a state of rest versus the fight and flight response. We put our bodies through enough stress from day to day. It’s time to thank you and allow our minds and bodies to rest. Massage also assists in the release of feel-good chemicals and hormones to help calm our nervous system.
   An outstanding Valentine’s Day session might include a…
   • Nourish Your Body Massage that is tailored to your body’s specific needs by using essential oils, hot stones, massage cupping, or Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) to help alleviate pain, discomfort, and muscle spasms.
   • Hot Stone Massage, where specially selected heated basalt stones are used to enhance the feeling of well-being by enabling me to work more deeply and effectively with chronic pain conditions.
   • Reflexology, where reflexes on your ears, hands, and feet correlate to every organ, gland, and area of the body. By using pressure on the reflex areas, it can unblock Qi. By unlocking Qi it helps ease tension, improve circulation, and promote proper bodily functions. 
   • Massage Cupping session that utilizes negative pressure to pull on the underlying soft tissue and release it from superficial to deep. Cupping draws fresh blood to the area, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. Cupping also engages the parasympathetic nervous system, which allows for deep relaxation.
2. Boosts Mood
   Studies have shown that massage has been shown to release the feel-good hormone oxytocin within the body, also known as the love hormone. It also increases the production of serotonin and dopamine.
3. Alleviate Pain
   Massage helps alleviate pain by increasing circulation, improving range of motion and flexibility, and releasing those stubborn knots deep within your tissues. Massage has been shown to help with neck and back pain and headaches and is an effective treatment for those suffering from chronic pain like fibromyalgia and arthritis, along with those going through chemotherapy and radiation or those recovering from a knee, hip, or shoulder replacement.
4. Self-love
   If you’re single, this Valentine’s Day, there is no reason why you cannot show yourself some self-love. You work hard, day in and day out. You deserve to take time out for yourself and get a Nourishing Massage. Remember, you can’t keep giving unless you fill your cup first. So overflow your cup by pampering yourself and showing yourself some self-love, and schedule a Nourishing Massage today.
