This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, and light to medium pressure to help relax and energize you.

This massage technique uses slower, more-forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, commonly to help with muscle damage from minor injuries.

*Persistent injury and/or pain should be treated by a doctor! NVM Therapy cannot diagnose or treat chronic injuries, or injuries that involve muscle tears.

This is similar to Swedish massage, but it’s geared toward people involved in sport activities to help prevent or treat injuries. This form of massage includes stretching and a faster-paced massage.

This massage focuses on areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse. The therapist will use finger tips and/or elbows to apply pressure to the tight muscle until it releases and becomes easier to manipulate.

Is a gentle, noninvasive form of bodywork that addresses the bones of the head, spinal column and sacrum. The goal is to release compression in those areas which alleviates stress and pain

Occurs when pregnant at any stage of pregnancy using a prenatal pillow. If concerned, clients are urged to speak with their doctor first and even provide a note from said doctor if needed.

*NVM Therapy does perform deep tissue work on pregnant clients provided the area indicated for deep tissue work will not directly put pressure on the baby.

Lymphatic drainage is a slow, shallow form of massage that helps promote healing by manipulating the lymph your body naturally creates to help eliminate swelling and clear and reabsorb the lymph fluid into the lymphatic system.

Drink plenty of water within the next 24-48 hour to rehydrate and flush any toxins from your body.

Take it easy so the body doesn’t tense up again, and let the benefit of the massage last as long as possible.

Our waxing esthetician is highly skilled and aims to make the process as comfortable as possible. She takes her time and uses a natural, soybean-based, non-wax hair removal agent that acts like wax without adhering to skin and thus tearing it. It is a safer and more comfortable way to wax. We offer female Brazilian waxes (the whole nine yards from the belly button to the tailbone), female bikini waxes (around the panty line), and underarm waxes.

Hair must be at least a quarter of an inch in order to be waxed and may be done as late as the day-of vacations and events. Most people get their bikini/Brazilian wax done every 4-6 weeks. Women may still get waxed during mensuration as long as a tampon is used, however, they may be more or less sensitive around that time due to hormonal changes.

You are welcome to get waxed while pregnant or on your period (please wear a tampon or menstrual cup—we recommend the Diva cup!). We do ask that you wait 24 hours before showering/bathing, having sex, tanning, going to the sauna, or doing strenuous workouts, as these activities can interfere with the waxing process.

Pulls hair from the root and therefore lasts longer than traditional shaving

Hair may grow slower and/or finer for many people after waxing

Produces a smoother surface as hair is pulled from the root and does not damage the skin

Less susceptible to irritations than those caused by shaving

Waxing also eliminates nicks, cuts, and stubble associated with shaving, and makes for a smoother, less itchy regrowth period.

Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate your skin a day or two before waxing, but skip harsh scrubs the day of your waxing appointment. Exfoliation helps wax grab hair and not skin, but it can also leave skin more sensitive to pain, so lighter is better. A rough washcloth is perfect for gentle exfoliation, but don’t scrub too hard.

Moisturize: Moisturize well on the days leading up to your appointment. Healthy, well-moisturized skin allows the wax to release more easily. Too much moisturizer could coat the hair and interfere with the wax’s grip, so avoid moisturizing on the day of your waxing session.

Medications: Certain medications can sensitize skin to waxing. Retin-A creams do amazing things for fine lines, acne and uneven pigmentation, but they also leave skin susceptible to injury during waxing. Discontinue retinol-based products for two weeks before waxing. Accutane users should stop taking their medication for a month before waxing. Before making any changes to your prescription medications, talk to your dermatologist. Also popping two Tylenol at least an hour or two prior to the appointment is recommended.

Other: If you are too nervous or anxious, our esthetician will not wax you! We prefer our clients to be calm and relaxed, as if you are tense then the waxing will hurt more. Most of our clients say their experience with Nancy was the best waxing experience they’ve had, and that the pain is very low. We recommend taking a dose of Tylenol or Advil before you come get waxed, as this usually helps with the pain. We do not recommend alcohol before your appointment as it tends to cause more inflammation
