I do not accept HSA/FSA.

I don't. Most of my clients book monthly or twice a month and pay per session. It keeps things simple for both of us.

The studio is on the first floor and has a separate waiting room and private restroom. There are no steps or stairs to navigate.

If you can, leave enough time to arrive unhurried. Try not to come in on an empty or very full stomach, since you'll want to be comfortable lying down. Before your first appointment, I'll email you a confidential intake and consent form, and we'll go over it together before we start.

For your first session, please arrive 5 to 10 minutes early so we have time to talk. Please don't buzz more than 15 minutes early, since I may be in session with another client.

Whatever you're comfortable in. You'll always be draped for safety, privacy, and warmth. For skin-to-skin massage, most people undress to their underwear, but you can keep on anything you'd like. We can structure the session around whatever makes you most comfortable.

Of course. All bodies are welcome, in every shape, size, and texture. Skin concerns like a fungal infection or a new tattoo are good to mention on your intake form. The massage table also has removable armrests that extend its width. Just check the box on your intake form or ask me before we start.

Please reschedule if you're experiencing nausea, vomiting, fever, a rash, or anything that might be contagious.

Your session will be designed for you. I'm trained in many techniques, including Swedish, myofascial release, shiatsu, Thai massage, DNM, neuromuscular techniques, and positional release, and I'll blend them based on what you need. Learn more about my massage approach here.

It shouldn't. Therapeutic touch can feel intense, and if that feels satisfying, great. But if you're wincing, holding your breath, or bracing, it's too much. Your nervous system needs to feel safe for massage to do its work, so we'll find the depth that feels right.

Yes, anytime. You can ask for a pause, water, a tissue, a blanket, another pillow, a bathroom break, or a change in position. You can also just rest in quiet. Your comfort comes first.

My goal is for you to leave feeling better than when you walked in. Some people feel completely relaxed, others feel taller. Everyone's nervous system is different. I hope that sense of ease stays with you for hours, or even days.

It depends on your body and your goals. Many of my clients come monthly or twice a month. We can talk about what makes sense for you at your session.

As soon as you feel comfortable traveling to the studio. It's a good idea to check with your provider first, especially after a cesarean or a complicated birth. I'll tailor your session to where you are in your recovery, with bolsters and blankets to keep you comfortable. I talk more about pospartum masage sessions here.
