Frequently Asked Questions

Should I book a Wellness Massage or Therapeutic Massage?
The difference between the two treatments is that therapeutic sessions focus on achieving goals or encouraging change in the body. If you have a complaint to address, general or specific, then a therapeutic session is recommended. If you're more interested in the holistic benefits of massage, such as relaxation & stress relief, improving mobility & flexibility, or reducing muscle tension, then a wellness massage is for you. We can always chat in person to figure out what's the best fit for you!

How long of a session should I book?
This depends greatly on personal preference! Here's what I'm usually able to accomplish in my sessions to help you decide:
60 minutes: 1-2 areas of focus OR a brief check-in with the full body.
90 minutes: 2-3 areas for focus, full body maintenance work, OR 1-2 areas with a little extra tension relief included.
120 minutes: 3-4 areas of focus, 1-2 focus areas with the full body included, OR a thorough restorative session that will melt away your stress!
I'm Plus-Sized, is that alright?
YES -- massage is for ALL bodies, no matter your size or fitness level! Some other styles of massage (such as Thai or Shiatsu) require the table to hold 2 people, so please don't worry at all. My table is safely rated for up to 650lbs.
I'm Trans or GNC, is that okay?
Absolutely! Massage is for EVERY body & I take great pride in making my office a judgement free space for all clients. If there's anything I can do to help you feel comfortable in the treatment room, please just let me know!
How should I prepare for my massage?
The most important thing is to arrive clean & odor free. Aftercare is actually much more important for massage -- it can dehydrate you & causes your body to spend some energy. Be sure to drink extra water the day-of & have a filling meal. It's a lot like recovery for a low-impact workout, except you don't have to do any of the hard work!

Deaf & Hard of Hearing Accessibility
I know some sign language! I took a few years in high school, and while I'm not fluent, I am still confident with many basic signs & finger spelling.
Feel free to reach out to me by text or email if you have a more in-depth concern you'd like to discuss, or ask for a free 20 min consult added to the beginning of your appointment to give us extra time to chat!
Guests are always welcome to observe in the treatment room for client comfort, so please bring someone along if you'd like an interpreter.
