Emperia Wellness & Spa

The secret of a great Massage Ever wonder why some massage therapist start your massage with asking you to take a deep breath or do compression down your back to your sacrum over the blanket, before starting your massage? Well here is the reason why.... We are grounding in! To give the most focused and relaxing massage possible we enter a form of meditative state, where we are hyper focused on breathing, movement and your muscles. We invite you to join this relaxed start with us. Take deep breaths all throughout the massage. Let your mind go, try not to think about chores like groceries, the kids and walking the dog. Just be present and in your body. Try and focus on counting your breath. 3-3-3-3, # seconds inhale, hold for 3 seconds, and exhale for 3 second hold for 3 seconds, repeat. Try and feel the muscles move as we loosen them. And please feel free to fall asleep, we take it as a compliment when you snore :)

The Hot stones upgrade more than just a wonderful feeling At Emperia we use stones, with a choice of essential oil, as a therapy tool during the massage. The warmth of the stones gets deep into your muscles to release tension, also soothes and relaxes muscles, which in turn allows your therapist to completely eliminate stress during a session. The heat gives you a most relaxed experience during your massage. If you are sensitive to pressure and prefer a lighter touch, the h...eat from the stones penetrates deep without uncomfortable pressure. This therapy can also help individuals with pain related conditions such fibromyalgia (when not in an acute state and have been cleared for this type of work by your primary care physician). Lastly the heat and the circular motion created with the stones promote circulation in your body giving you all the health benefits of a healthy circulatory system. Our Signature massage includes Hot Stone Therapy. Call now and book at 916 321-3718

Get Regular Professional Facials Using a good skin care regimen at home is a necessity, but regular professional facials every 4-8 weeks can dramatically improve the results of your skin. It’s recommended to change up the types of facials regularly depending on the season or how your skin is behaving. Example: Vitamin C antioxidant facials are great during the summer to reduce aging from the sun, while exfoliating facials work well during the winter months to remove dryness caused from the heat in the house.

Aromatherapy Massage & Men Aromatherapy added to a massage for men has a positive impact on the levels of serotonin (+28%) and dopamine (+31%) in the body. This, in turn, has a positive impact on men’s mood and how they perceive themselves. Many men suffer from increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which causes chronic inflammation and a weakened immune system. Aromatherapy massage can reduce cortisol by an average of 31%. Essential oils applied to the face and... scalp help relax muscles and connective tissue. Some scents to consider for men: - Rosemary - Marjoram - Lavender - Sandalwood
