Greetings!  I would like to be your massage therapist!  My name is Hiyala Indiga.  I
have been doing massage since 1992.  I was trained at Harbin Hot Springs in California and worked at a top-notch spa in Napa Valley for one year before moving to Minnesota. I call my business Body Prayers, because I believe that our bodies are sacred temples of the soul.

 I do three kinds of massage: swedish,shiatsu and thai (see descriptions to right) .
To make your massage more enjoyable:              
 1) I keep my talking to a minimum. However, if you want, you can talk to me,and I will answer!
2) You will be on a nice warm, heated blanket.
3) I let you choose the music you like
4) I do an indepth interview to determine what you want/need.
5) I keep you draped except for the part of the body I am working on..(for thai massage, you keep your clothes on)
6) We can save time at the end or beginning to learn some yoga poses that might be helpful to your condition.
Headache Relief
 I have a very effective treatment that will get rid of your headache.  It takes about 10-15 minutes of your time.  It comes from a technique called Korean Hand Therapy.  Don't live with the pain.  
Enjoy your day!
Massage  techniques that I practice :  

Swedish massage uses warm oil applied with a soft,medium or deep kneading motion.  option to add hot stones treatment for an additional $15. Or, if you prepay for two massages, get the hot  stones treatment free for one of them.  warm stones placed alongside the spine to penetrate heat deep into the muscles , allowing for a deeper massage with less pain. .

Shiatsu is done through the clothing, but can also be done in combination with the swedish massage.  Instead of kneading with oil, the action is one of pressing down to open the energy flow in the meridians of the body.

Thai massage:  The client is dressed in loose fitting clothing and lays on a comfortable mat on the floor.  This massage is much like Shiatsu, but I use my feet as well as my hands to apply the pressure to the energy meridians of the body.This massage also incorporates many stretching movements and works to increase the range of motion of the joints.

Positional Therapy:  Very effective massage for getting rid of 'trigger points" , which are basically, "snags" in the thin layer of tissues that surround your muscles.  This technique is sometimes called "fold and hold" and is used by some chiropractors and physical therapists.  You will be "folded" into various positions that will release the muscles that are tight.  Each "fold' is held for 90 seconds.  You will almost immediately feel the release of your long held pain.  A clothes on massage.  A good masage to choose when you have limited time or budget because it is quick and "to the point".  You can schedule a 15 minute spot massage and be back to work within an half hour!  
 
rocking is soothing and nuturing.  As you begin to "settle in " to your body, I begin by gently rocking your body from side to side as I work up the spine.  Let me know if you don't like anything.  Nothing Has to be "tolerated". .Each massage is customized to the client.  Not everybody likes the same things. Be the master of your massage.  I know that it is so nice to relax but especially the
