Jacqueline Hudiburg is a gifted Licensed Massage Therapist with over 26 years experience, versatile in a number of forms of body work. Having worked in various settings from chiropractic offices, spas, massage clinics, and private residences, she focuses on healing the whole-being, incorporating multiple massage modalities to best meet her individual client’s needs.
Swedish Massage - for relaxation and increasing circulation/lymph flow; helps to relieve that “congested” feeling and generalized tension. Integrative Massage - uses breath work and all strokes are circular in nature going away from the center of the body. Focus is on relieving stress, releasing emotional layers, and grounding in one’s own body. Deep Tissue/Trigger Point Therapy - breaking up chronically contracted muscle tissue for better range of motion and muscle health; relieving referral pain patterns from injury or repetitive use. Hot Stone Massage - uses smooth, heated stones to relax stubborn musculature; the heat also stimulates detoxification on a deeper layer than regular massage. Other modalities - used in conjunction with those listed above: Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapy, Passive Stretching and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching. Hunter Method - an unconventional therapy created by Stephanie Hunter using touch and movement to change muscle memory and get people out of pain. This method is interactive and the client is clothed. By using movement and a targeted touch, it signals to the brain that it’s okay to move bringing chronically contracted muscle back to optimal tone. Many clients feel relief in 5-10 sessions depending on the severity of the issue. |

Naturopathic Holistic skin care is the philosophy of treating the body and skin as one cohesive unit - what happens inside our body is reflected on our skin. Brigitte focuses on helping the skin to function optimally by stimulating the healing power of nature with performance, results-driven natural skin care products, facials and microcurrent treatments.
MICROCURRENT: a form of massage, using very low levels of electrical current. It triggers the body’s natural cellular repair mechanism. Used as an anti-aging tool, it can diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by toning and rejuvenating the facial muscles. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. The effects are immediate and cumulative. The uplifting therapy is preventative, as well as corrective. OSMOSIS: line of skin care products for facials and at home skin care. Osmosis focuses on reducing inflammation and rebalancing through an inside-out approach, resulting in permanent changes. This is achieved through a series of revolutionary ingredients and technologies delivered via their patent-pending liposomal delivery system. Osmosis uses holistic therapies to treat skin conditions at the source. Rooted in science it address every aspect of skin damage and aging, targeting pathways from the inside out. MOOM® hair removal: a revolutionary combination of 100% organic and food grade ingredients making it ideal for sensitive skin and delicate areas. Its carefully balanced formula gently removes hair with its root and keeps it off for up to eight weeks. MOOM® has taken a holistic approach to hair removal where the beauty and health of the skin is the focus and the integrity of our precious environment is preserved. |
