MASSAGE HEIGHTS<br />
An Oasis Of Calm<br />

It’s time to take a little break from<br />
your Yoga Mat and head over to<br />
Massage Heights to experience a<br />
different form of nirvana.<br />
This Delray spa offers healing massages, hot stone therapy, reflexology<br />
and facials at affordable prices. It’s known as a happy<br />
place where you can experience different healing therapies<br />
from top to bottom.<br />
In the geographic components of your body there are products<br />
and services that heal specific areas of it. For brightening and lightening<br />
your face (or to dispel discoloration) there is a new Pro Power<br />
Peel Facial. They also have a high performance Biolumin-c serum<br />
with vitamin C and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5.<br />
If you ask the Retreat Director Danielle Desautels, she’ll tout the<br />
results of this state-of-the-art facial serum. “I have been using Biolumin-c<br />
serum for two months and I am getting amazing results. It<br />
brightens dark circles, sun spots and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.”<br />
Massage Heights Delray has also added new massage modalities<br />
to help aches and pains and release toxins. Starting in February, they<br />
will be offering the Hollywood sanctioned art of Cupping Massage<br />
(Ms. Paltrow’s favorite).<br />
If you don’t know about Cupping, it is an ancient Chinese therapy<br />
that uses suction pressure to help relax muscles, increase blood flow,<br />
and relax your nervous system. According to Desautels this form of<br />
massage can help those with high blood pressure. Cupping is also<br />
used to relieve back and neck pain, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines<br />
and rheumatism.<br />
If you’re ready to pull the trigger on a state of calm, check out their<br />
new Trigger Point Massage. It helps release constricted muscle areas<br />
to relieve pain and help increase mobility. “Similar to deep tissue<br />
massage Trigger Point Massage therapy can help relax your muscles<br />
and release tension, often after just one session,” said Desautels.<br />
For those who feel the weight of the world on their shoulders,<br />
there is Cranial Sacral Therapy. CST is a gentle, hands-on massage<br />
that eliminates tension in the body, relieves pain and improves overall<br />
health. Developed by an Osteopathic Physician, CST has worked<br />
miracles for a myriad of conditions.<br />
Massage Heights Delray was built on the premise that everyone<br />
needs to slow down, relax and luxuriate in a state of calm. Owner<br />
Sandra Bonfiglio McNiven learned this firsthand. The family law lawyer<br />
found that getting massages was a great stress releaser for her.<br />
