Cupping is a procedure in which a rounded glass cup is warmed and placed upside down over an area of the body, creating suction that holds the cup to the skin. Cupping increases the flow of blood. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is also thought to increase the flow of qi. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.

Prenatal massage

  • Reduce stress and anxiety

Offered with either Gua Sha or IASTM tools, the scraping technique is a popular treatment for myofascial restriction. Scraping uses specially designed instruments to provide a mobilizing effect to scar tissue and myofascial adhesions. It is applied using instruments with beveled edges and contours that can conform to different body anatomical locations and allows for deeper penetration.

The introduction of controlled microtrauma to affected soft tissue structure causes the stimulation of local inflammatory response. Microtrauma initiates reabsorption of inappropriate fibrosis or excessive scar tissue and facilitates a cascade of healing activities resulting in remodeling of affected soft tissue structures.

Thai massage is a form of therapeutic touch that differs in many ways from traditional massage. The massage therapist manipulates your body in certain ways to warm up muscles, improve organ functions, and improve flexibility. Participants can either lie on a massage table or lie on a mat to experience a traditional floor Thai massage. Please note, Thai massage is not recommended for those with recent knee, hip, or shoulder replacement surgeries or those dealing with chronic knee or hip pain/injuries.

This session will focus on specific areas of discomfort, pain, or recovery from injury or surgery. The pressure and pace are expected to be very light to medium, with a slower, more gentle approach. Based on the therapist’s assessment, light static or dynamic stretching may be incorporated, along with attention to other areas of the body as needed. This type of massage is an excellent complement to strength training or sports performance programs. It can also aid in muscle recovery and help alleviate aches and pains commonly associated with intense exercise. Please ensure you have clearance from your physician before receiving treatment from a massage therapist.

Add-on treatments are included in the time of the scheduled massage. They will not extend past the scheduled time.

Available Add-ons:

  • Cupping
  • Dry Brush
  • Scraping (with Gua Sha or IASTM)

Tabitha Croy

Massage Therapist

Tabitha is a licensed massage therapist and certified yoga teacher serving the Northern Virginia area since 2017. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge of healing energies with others who have had difficulty finding relief from chronic pain, stress, and trauma. When conventional medicinal approaches failed to address her own health concerns, she turned to alternative therapies like yoga, Reiki, and therapeutic massage. Her intensive study of the body and its energy properties have had a deep and lasting impact in all areas of her life, far above and beyond my initial pursuit of pain management. 

She has dedicated years to mastering the same skills that brought her so much comfort, so she could also help others find relief. She combines the more physical, clinical techniques like orthopedic and sports massage with the subtler, energy healing techniques like Reiki, Craniosacral Therapy, and Visceral Manipulation to bridge the gaps between healing mind, body, and spirit. She is a graduate of the Northern Virginia Community College Massage Therapy Program and earned her Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher Certification through YogaFit.
