Common FAQs
I already have a massage table at my house, can we use that instead of yours?
Yes as long as I can adjust the height on the table, I am happy to use your table instead of mine. Table height can vary from one practitioner to another and for certain modalities being implemented.
Due to surgery, mobility issues or other limiting factors, I can't get safely up on a table for my session. Can I still have a session?
Absolutely! We will assess at the time of scheduling what your mobility issues are for your specific needs. In lieu of using a massage table we may decide that a massage chair is more suitable, or other configuration. This will vary with each individual but we can almost always figure a way to get you safely comfortable for your sessions.
I'm a bit shy/modest about getting body work. Do I have to be unclothed to receive a treatment?
In most cases you can certainly receive certain treatments fully clothed, however even if you are unclothed on the table, I am always vigilant to keep you "draped" appropriately thru the entire session. For both massage or lymph drainage, it is more effective to have skin contact in order for your therapist to be able to easily access and assess the problem areas of the body. Lymph drainage is a subtle touch protocol that requires a very light and precise touch, where working thru clothing is a hinderance to the perception of proper pressure.
What is your cancellation policy?
You will not be charged if you cancel 24 hours in advance or if there is a medical emergency.
I have a friend, significantt other, or family member that would to also get a treatment the same day/location as me . . . is that posible?
Yes! As long as I have a time slot available on the day available for your session, for back to back sessions I can usually accommodate this.
