Rivage Wellness Massage
A customized blend of massage techniques designed for your special needs at the time of your treatment. Choose between a therapeutic, deep tissue, or a combination.
Hot Stone Massage
Our Rivage Wellness massage with the addition of heated stones enhances an overall deeper relaxation. Adding concentrated heat to specific areas of the body allows for deeper penetration of the muscles — ideal for those who may suffer from chronic pain such as arthritis or fibromyalgia.
CBD Serenity Massage
Our Rivage Wellness massage with the addition of organic CBD oil worked into muscles to provide a deeper sense of relaxation and balance. Benefits include reduced inflammation and lessening of pain while also alleviating stress and anxiety. This popular serene massage helps bring positive energy through circulation and tension relief.
