Cupping therapy entails the suction of skin and superficial muscle layers to promote blood flow and reduce inflammation. The pulling action of the cups release tension in muscles and connective tissue, similar to the effects of massage.

Gua sha entails scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to improve circulation and promote the flow of blood and qi throughout the body. This technique releases muscle tension, promotes detoxification, and reduces inflammation.


Massage Therapy

Every Resilient Health and Wellness massage is custom-designed to meet each client’s individual needs and goals. Taking into consideration medical history, physical conditions, mental health, lifestyle, and specific concerns, your massage therapist will work with you to create a session that promotes relaxation and healing.


Microneedling

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures or micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound healing processes, leading to increased collagen and elastin production.


LED Light Therapy

Light Emitting Diode (LED) phototherapy is the application of light energy to tissue in order to obtain therapeutic benefits. The energy is used to improve cellular performance. Phototherapy is known for it’s healing and anti-inflammatory properties and has a variety of applications.

Our signature 30-minute Gua Sha Facial includes facial gua sha and neck massage with facial cupping. A rose quartz tool accompanied by argon oil infused with our signature Resilient Skin essential oil blend is used to massage the muscles of the face and neck. Small facial cups are also used to gently pull the skin away from the deeper layers of facia. This increases blood flow and rejuvenates the skin without leaving cupping marks behind.


Deep Tissue Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation (PBM). During PBM, photons enter the tissue and trigger a biological cascade of events that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism, which can decrease pain and inflammation as well as accelerate the healing process.


Infrared Sauna/Halotherapy

Instead of using traditional heat or steam, infrared saunas use infrared wavelengths to heat up the sauna cabin. These wavelengths are absorbed by the skin, giving rise to a cascade of health benefits, including pain relief and stress reduction. Halotherapy, or dry salt therapy, involves the inhalation of tiny salt particles that are dispersed into the air by a device known as a halo-generat... Read More

Halotherapy, or dry salt therapy, involves the inhalation of tiny salt particles that are dispersed into the air by a device known as a halo-generator. Upon inhalation, the salt particles soothe the airway and nasal passages, making it great for those with allergies or other respiratory issues.

An infrared salt sauna is a type of sauna that combines the principles of infrared heat therapy with the benefits of salt therapy.

Infrared Heat Therapy: Unlike traditional saunas that use steam or hot air to heat the body, infrared saunas use infrared heaters to emit light that is absorbed by the skin. This form of heat can penetrate deeper into the skin and tissues, offering benefits like improved circulation, muscle relaxation, and detoxification. Infrared saunas typically operate at lower temperatures than traditional saunas, which some people find more comfortable.

Salt Therapy: Salt therapy, or halotherapy, is the inhalation of microscopic salt particles as they are dispersed into the air. The salt’s natural properties, including its mineral content, can help with respiratory conditions, skin issues, and overall wellness. The salt can also help to create a calming and rejuvenating environment.

Combining these two therapies, an infrared salt sauna aims to offer a synergistic experience, leveraging both the deep-penetrating heat of infrared technology and the therapeutic effects of salt. The result is intended to provide relaxation, skin benefits, respiratory improvements, and overall wellness in a single session.
