Massage Services
Our massage therapists offer a wide variety of massage services

Swedish Massage
A hands on Full Body Massage of light to medium pressure. Relieves muscle tension, stimulates circulation, increases serotonin levels, improves muscle tone and promotes total mind and body relaxation.

Therapeutic Massage
A firm pressure therapeutic massage. Helps alleviate pain, muscle spasms, stress, inflammation and tissue damage. Great for anyone with soft tissue problems that produce any discomfort or pain.

Hot Stone Massage
Penetrating heat from smooth warmed stones is used to relieve tense muscle and sore joints. Combined with Swedish techniques, this creates an unforgettable, thoroughly relaxing experience.

Ashiatsu Massage
Ashiatsu is a barefoot massage technique using deep gliding pressure with the therapists’ feet. The pressure can be as light or as deep as you need it to be. Bars overhead are used by the therapist during the massage for balance and support.

Cupping
It uses suction (negative pressure) rather than compression. Cupping facilitates soft tissue release and lifts connective tissues. This process breaks up and drains stagnation while increasing blood and lymph flow to skin and muscles in ways not possible with traditional massage techniques. Cupping can be added to your Swedish or Therapeutic massage session.

Prenatal Massage
Studies indicate that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health.

Made a prenatal appointment with Adaisha. She was amazing! She found and targeted the tension in my back, shoulders, and hips. Clean facility and relaxing atmosphere. Customer parking is to the right of the building.

I love The Retreat! Darlene works wonders. Quiet, cozy atmosphere and it's a local business. Would much rather support than a larger chain.

I adore this little hidden gem in Clayton. I highly recommend Dacia and Adaisha. They both listen to what is going on and they both suggest on how they would like to proceed to help with your problem areas.

Nicole did a wonderful job with my deep tissue massage. She explained everything clearly that she was going to do and how we need to follow up on my future appointments. The atmosphere is also very nice. I will definitely return.
