Massage increases tissue circulation and influences the lymphatic system, according to full-time therapist Molly Sweet. With a choice of ancient hot stone therapy, Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, custom-blended aromatherapy, or reflexology from one of three on-staff massage therapists, massage is the remedy for many things that ail the body.
Sweet has more than 18 years practicing multidisciplinary massage techniques for individual needs. Having developed an extensive sports massage program at a major ski resort in northern Michigan, Sweet’s experienced touch rhythmically relaxes and rejuvenates both body and soul in just 15 minutes.
‘We have a nurturing atmosphere here,? said Owen. ‘Our clients are number one and hopefully we can give them a relaxing, comfortable atmosphere to make the most out of their day spa experience here.?
