cary studio meditation
My husband Michael and I offer guided meditations for individuals or small groups
(up to 3 guests) in the Cary Studio. These are a wonderful way to safely relax and connect with your breath, and align your mind, body and spirit. Feel free to read more about Michael's breathwork classes as well.
The class: Gentle seated qigong (very simple seated body stretches and movements) to begin, followed by Michaels's guided meditation. Crystal singing bowls, tibetan singing bowls, and spirit animal messages can also be enjoyed throughout the session. It is a very relaxed, casual atmosphere...great for beginners and more advanced meditation practitioners. Great for those who have a hard time with meditation, as wonderful conversations naturally occur after sessions and in these moments, some people feel the light bulb become bright.
Yoga mats, blankets, bolsters are provided, or you may bring your own if you prefer. This studio is accessed by steps only, so please be aware of this before scheduling. A restroom with a shower is also available if desired.
Please email or call to schedule your initial appointment.
$18 per class. Class is about 45 minutes.
In-Home Sessions
Enjoy massage therapy in the comfort of your own home, office or hotel. I bring the relaxation to your doorstep, including the massage table, music, and supplies. I love to serve couples as well, allowing one partner to receive massage first, and then switching. This is a very popular option!
$110 for 60 minutes
$140 for 90 minutes
In-Home Couple's Classes: $170
Special Discounts:
$195 for 2 people, 60 min. each
Payment options: Square, Venmo, Zelle, or Cash. Payment is handled after the sessions.
Pricing includes travel and set up for those staying in Raleigh, Cary, and surrounding areas.
In-Hotel Sessions
Local hotels such as the Mayton Hotel and Umstead, and surrounding Raleigh establishments, provide a relaxing environment for convenient massage therapy sessions. Pricing for in-hotel massage therapy is the same as in-home sessions. If there is a parking deck with a valet, that price will be added to the session. Let me know if you have any questions about in-hotel sessions. Pictured below is the Renaissance Hotel in North Hills in Raleigh.
Children's Massage
A bit about the in-home service:
* children are to wear comfortable shorts
* sessions are usually under 30 minutes
* organic, nut-free oil can be used, or no oil if there are allergy concerns
* a parent/guardian must be in the room for clients under 13 years of age. For children over age 13, parent/guardian may be in the room, but must be home, with clear view (open door) of the child.
Pricing:
I am happy to work with you and the needs of your family. In general, adding a 30-minute child session before or after the adult's session is $45. Price is flexible depending on age of child and duration, from $25-45.
Every child is different, and everyone has different needs, so I am flexible on how we breakdown the appointments. For example, a parent could receive a 60 minute in-home massage, following their child's 25 minute massage for $150.
In-Home yoga
This one-on-one time allows Amy to give you a personalized practice with a focus on alignment, strength building or therapeutic guidance for any and all of your needs. This is a great option for those who may feel intimidated by a full yoga class, need modifications for injuries and pain, as well as for those who want to build specific strengths in their day-to-day lives and/or personal yoga practice.
Massage before Yoga practice: feel more relaxed and less likely to injure yourself during yoga. Massage therapy can help to release tension in tight muscles, which can then be followed up with specific poses to further stretch those muscles. Massage after Yoga practice: further deepen the relaxation of the body and mind.
Yoga mats and blocks can be provided for individuals or two people. Ask about special events or groups including bachelorette parties, birthday parties, corporate yoga, team building, kids yoga, family yoga, etc.
Pricing for Wake Forest/Raleigh area:
$110 for 60 minutes blend of massage/yoga
$140 for 90 minutes blend of massage/yoga
$65 for Private Yoga One hour in-home
$5 per additional student for couples/group yoga in-home
Pricing includes travel and set up for those staying in Raleigh, Cary, and surrounding areas.
In-home Massage classes
In this class, we will go over some basic anatomy, helpful massage mechanics and techniques, encourage a different kind of communication, and just simply have fun! We will focus on the back and upper back, and will say hello to the arms, legs, scalp and face. However, if there are specific areas that are creating tension or pain, I am happy to teach area-specific techniques.
This is a fun and casual way to learn a new skill that will bring healing for years to come. Email, call or text if interested in scheduling your class today. Once we get you booked, I will email you a downloadable and printable Getting Started Booklet that will be a helpful guide in getting you acquainted with some basic concepts that will be helpful before we are hands-on.
I will bring my massage table, sheets and equipment to your home, no need to buy any products.
Up to two hours of individualized instruction, including the free Getting Started Booklet:
In-home couple's class: $170

Modalities
Swedish Massage
Calm your body and mind with a combination of techniques that suits your personal needs to combat muscle tension. This is typically a full body treatment, undressed to your level of comfort, with professional draping. The use of long strokes, kneading, superficial strokes and addressing specific pain areas are typical in Swedish massage. I combine myofascial release and shiatsu techniques as needed. Light, medium, and deep pressures can be used, based on your specific needs and desires.
Deeper pressure can be used to break up adhesions and reduce acute and chronic pain patterns. A blend of myofascial release, stretch therapy, trigger point therapy, sports massage, and pain management therapy will be used based on your individual needs and goals.
Couples Massage
Couples and friends can also enjoy back to back sessions. One partner can receive first, followed by the other partner. Couples enjoy this option as they feel they can get alone time, and then enjoy each other's relaxed energy afterwards.
Enhancements
Add-on enhancements are integrated into the full body massage.
Hot Stones
Complimentary as requested
A graceful blend of warmed lava rocks and Amy's manual touch are used to help relax your muscles. The rocks are used throughout the whole session, highlighting the larger muscle groups, and diving in deeper as needed in problem areas. Promotes deep muscle and tissue relaxation, alleviates stress, relieves pain, and improves circulation. This is a FREE offering, as using the stones adds a wonderful relief of tension. Available for In-home or In-Studio.
Sugar & Salt Foot Scrub
$10
Condition and exfoliate your feet with this sweet and salty spa treatment. Mineral rich pink Himalayan salt helps nourish and detoxify while apricot seed and sugar crystals naturally smooth and exfoliate. A blend of shea butter, sunflower seed and jojoba oils leaves your skin feeling soft while aloe soothes and hydrates. Warm towel compresses wrapped around each foot are also used to further promote relaxation. *Not available for in-home*
Detoxifying Clay Back Mask

Nourish your skin and soothe tired back muscles with a relaxing clay mask treatment. Service includes a brushed on application of calcium bentonite clay with added vitamin E oil, followed by heat therapy used to loosen tight muscles and further bring about its detoxifying and deep cleansing benefits. *Not available for in-home*
