Services
Swedish Massage
Our Swedish massage combines long strokes, kneading, and circular techniques to improve circulation and reduce muscle tension. Ideal for stress relief, this treatment promotes overall wellness through gentle pressure tailored to individual comfort levels. Each session includes aromatherapy with our signature essential oil blends for enhanced relaxation benefits.
Deep Tissue Massage
Targeting deeper muscle layers, our deep tissue therapy addresses chronic pain and postural issues through focused pressure techniques. This treatment helps break down scar tissue and release muscle knots caused by injury or repetitive strain. Sessions incorporate myofascial release to restore mobility and improve physical function for long-term relief.
LED Light Therapy
Utilizing clinically proven light wavelengths, our LED therapy stimulates cellular regeneration for skin rejuvenation and pain management. This non-invasive treatment reduces inflammation, accelerates healing, and improves skin texture while addressing conditions like acne and muscle soreness. Sessions combine red and near-infrared light for comprehensive wellness benefits.
Salt Room Therapy
Our Himalayan salt room provides natural respiratory support through dry salt aerosol therapy. The mineral-rich environment helps clear airways, reduce inflammation, and promote skin health. This passive treatment complements massage therapy by enhancing relaxation and supporting overall immune function through negative ion exposure.
Japanese Scalp Treatment
This specialized hair and scalp treatment combines traditional Japanese techniques with aromatherapy for comprehensive wellness. The therapy improves blood circulation, strengthens hair follicles, and relieves tension through targeted scalp massage. Each session includes hot oil treatment and herbal rinses for lasting hair health benefits.

My Facial service with Rose was honestly the best experience I've ever had. The time and attention she put into her work was amazing and greatly appreciated. She has a working knowledge of all the natural products she uses, and you can tell she absolutely loves what she does. My skin looks fantastic! I will, without a doubt, be back again!

Update: May 2022 Felt extra special since my wonderful mother & myself enjoyed massages from Heather(I definitely recommend her) for Mother's day. It was sooo peaceful & relaxing especially this time we got to use the Pink Himalayan Salt room. I added some pictures & stand by my previous rating & review below. I feel relaxed just reminiscing about it. Friendly & Professional staff. Always feel relaxed after my massage session thanks to Michelle.
I have nothing but good things to report regarding Your Body Needs! I was blessed enough to try a facial session & I have to say it was really informative and my skin feels wonderful all Thanks to Rose(owner) who took time to answer my questions and concerns helping me understand the better ways to care for my skin. I love the variety of essential oils & skin care products. I highly recommend Your Body Needs.

After years of pain and limited range of motion resulting from the Marines, I came to get a swedish/reflexology massage combination. The best way to describe how I feel now is, alive. I completey forgot the name of the wonderful woman that conducted this massage but either way, I definitely will be coming back. You can really build a relationship and not just go and get a massage.

Your Body Needs is excellent! I've gotten two Himalayan Hot Stone Massages from Chris and they were fantastic! I highly recommend him and this massage establishment. Add some aroma therapy and you'll be in heaven!

Got a couples massage with my wife for our wedding anniversary and all I can say is wow. This is the best massage I've ever had and I've had a lot including places like cruise ships, resorts in Kenya, and South Africa. My wife said the same thing. She had Brandon and I had Michelle. But seriously anyone coming here for the first time seek out Michelle (Or Brandon, I just don't have first had experience since I was not the one who got the massage by him).
