As a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist and the owner of Northern Roots Massage Therapy, Abigail brings her awareness and personal devotion to health and wellness to each massage session in order to provide balanced, individualized treatment to address the unique needs of each client. Depending on where you are in your life and in your body, Massage Therapy can have tremendous effects on your well-being. It is a time to connect with your body, to breathe new life into your blood, and to relieve the discomfort of tension, stress and fatigue. It is a time to let go of everything else beyond yourself. Giving yourself the time to heal, relax and rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit. We all live in busy times with the demands of family, work and life. Within all of that we also need to create balance and time for taking care of ourselves. Making the choice and setting aside time for regular Massage Therapy can be one of the beautifully beneficial things that we can do to foster health, well-being and balance in our full lives.
With 10 years of experience, the Massage modalities and techniques that Abigail may incorporate in your sessions include Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Trigger point Therapy, Positional Release and Facilitated Stretching.
Charlotte has dedicated her energy to exploring the human body and its natural capacity to heal and transform.

Hot Stone Massage 60 Minute/$125 75/$152 90/$185
Deep relaxation and muscles tension relief is enhanced by the use of smooth round heated stones incorporated into the massage as an extension of the Massage Therapists' hands.
Cupping Therapy 60 Minute/$115
A technique used to relieve pain and inflammation, increase blood flow and decrease muscle tension. It is an ancient health care practice originating in Asia, widely used in Chinese medicine. The practitioner places cups on the body, usually the back or shoulders, and the suction force inside the cup pulls the skin upward. This suction force expands and breaks open tiny blood vessels (capillaries) under your skin. Your body replenishes the cupped areas with healthier blood flow and stimulates proper and normal healing at a cellular level. The cup's drawing action also helps release fascial and muscular adhesions. Following cupping therapy you will most likely have red, round cupping therapy marks that should fade in a week or two. Although these marks will look like bruises, they’re not true bruises that injure muscle fibers.
Craniosacral Therapy 60 Minute/$115
'CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was developed by osteopathic physician John Upledger. CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.
By facilitating the body's natural and innate healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and has been shown to be beneficial for people seeking help with a wide range of healthcare challenges and symptoms.'*

Spinal Flow Technique
A healing practice rooted in science, Spinal Flow Technique is a gentle, hands on practice that allows your body to find its own natural alignment. Contact with specific access points allows for the increase of flow along the spine, resulting in the release of emotional, chemical and physical blocks.
First Session 90 Minute/$150
Welcome to your journey with Spinal Flow Technique, where healing and creative potential intersect. This introductory session is designed to provide a thorough and personalized experience for first-time clients.
We begin with an in-depth review of your intake form, allowing us to understand your unique health history, goals, and intentions for healing. Next, a comprehensive physical assessment helps us identify areas of tension and any patterns within your nervous system that may need support.
Your session will conclude with a 30-minute “Smile Flow,” tailored to release tension, awaken healing energy, and foster a sense of ease and alignment. This experience is a peaceful introduction to Spinal Flow’s approach—offering you a supportive environment to relax, reconnect, and restore balance in body and mind. Follow-up sessions are $60 each or purchase a session package for a discounted rate.

Each session focuses on deepening the release of tension and further connecting with the body’s natural flow, allowing for enhanced relaxation, resilience, energy, and creative flow.
While a series of six sessions is recommended for optimal progress, each session is designed to stand alone, giving you the flexibility to experience the benefits at your own pace.
Follow-up sessions are $60 each and are crafted to meet your unique needs, providing you with a personalized, nurturing environment that encourages restoration and balance.
