Frequently Asked Questions

This is a solo practice.

Each massage is customized to your needs. I have extensive training in myofascial release, TMJ work, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (similar to Graston) and headache relief. I do not charge extra for deeper pressure like some therapists.

Yes, I also perform prenatal massage.

In addition I also provide assisted stretching to target specific areas or a general overall treatment.

All session lengths listed are true hands-on time. For example, some places advertise a “1-hour massage” but only provide about 50 minutes on the table. My 60-minute session is a full 60 minutes of massage, hands-on.

Depends on the service:

Assisted Stretch: Loose or stretchy comfortable clothing that allows for full range of motion.

Massage: Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Many clients keep their underwear on during the massage, and some choose not to, either option is completely normal. You’ll be securely draped the entire time, and I use a snug, tucked draping style to protect your modesty while I’m working.

For many people, yes—especially for acute or stress-related pain. Chronic issues often improve in stages, but the first session typically reduces pain, restores movement, or at least clarifies what’s actually causing the issue.

This is therapeutic massage focused on pain relief and function, not ambiance or pampering. You won’t get hot stones or scented rituals unless they support your outcome, but you will get intentional, results-driven work.

Talking during your session is completely up to you. If you want to chat the whole time, great, if you’d rather stay quiet and relax, that’s great too. I’ll follow your lead, but I will check in briefly as needed to make sure the pressure and focus feel right. You can speak up anytime if you want anything done differently; it won’t hurt my feelings. It’s your massage.

Texting is probably the best method of contacting me as I may be in session when you call. I am a sole practitioner without a receptionist. You of course are welcome to call, but please leave a message. I try my best to respond as soon as I am able to.

Life happens, I understand that. I allow for 1 “no questions asked” cancellation for everyone. As long as you can reschedule within a reasonable time frame you won’t be looking at a cancellation fee.

If weather is bad we can always reschedule. I don’t want someone risking their safety or stressing themselves out on the road.

Chains are built for volume and consistency across locations, which can mean a more standardized session and more upsells. This is built around your pain pattern with a more customized approach and fewer “extras” between you and relief.
