Gua Sha Facial Massage

Gua sha is an ancient Chinese healing technique that involves using a smooth, flat tool to gently massage the skin in long, smooth strokes. This technique can improve circulation and lymphatic drainage, which can help reduce puffiness, improve the texture and tone of the skin, and promote a healthy, radiant complexion.

Onyeka's Signature Massage

Onyeka’s signature massage is a unique technique developed by Onyeka Tefari herself, which combines Swedish massage with deep tissue and reflexology. Onyeka's signature massage is not only unique in its combination of Swedish massage, deep tissue, and reflexology, but it's also tailored to our individual guest needs.

Prenatal Massage

Prenatal massage is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and edema (or swelling).

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage is a form of soft-tissue mobilization dramatically enhances lymph formation and promotes drainage within the superficial and deep systems of the lymph vascular network. MLD effectively reduces traumatic and post-surgical edema, and can provide symptomatic relief of migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), stress, fatigue, and more. MLD also induces general relaxation and detoxification.

Elevated (Herbal) Massage

The Elevated Massage at Onyeka Tefari is a customized massage that allows for deep relaxation, deep muscle and fascia release, injury treatment, pain relief, skin hydration, and more. By combining nature's remedy with skilled massage techniques, elevated massage is a holistic way to heal and treat your body and mind.

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is what most people think of when someone mentions the word massage. In Sweden, this type of massage is called ‘Classic Massage’, which is an accurate name, given how well-known it is. Unlike a deep-tissue massage, this massage uses long, flowing strokes over the entire body to provide relaxation to the nervous system, ease muscle tension and increase circulation.

Deep Tissue Massage

A deep tissue massage is a type of massage that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue in the body. It is typically used to treat chronic muscle tension or injuries, such as sports injuries or muscle strain. During a deep tissue massage, the massage therapist will use slow, deep strokes and intense pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle and tissue.

Pick Me Up Massage

This experience gives you a perfect split of massage in high tension/high stress areas with some foot work. During this experience, your feet are pampered using one of our unique relaxing foot scrub blends followed by a relaxing reflexology-inspired foot massage. You also receive a relaxing massage targeting your back, shoulders, neck, and scalp. This treatment is great for a mid-week quick pick me up, a pre/post weekend rejuvenation, or as a gift to someone in need of some relaxation.

Acupressure Massage

The Acupressure Massage Integrates both Eastern & Western healing methods to restore the harmonious flow of life with in. It combines the nurturing Western oil massage with the therapeutic benefits of Asian bodywork methods.

Cupping massage

Cupping is a vaso-pneumatic suction therapy used to promote the flow of lymph and blood through the tissues by separating the muscles and fascia to allow better circulation of lymph. Cupping relaxes the muscles to release stuck lymph, blood, toxins, and lactic acid stored in the tissues. By pulling these tissues apart, and increasing circulation, it improves the body's healing ability.
