DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
If you have more questions than listed below please don’t hesitate to call or email.
How do I prepare for the massage?
- Please arrive on time to your appointment so we are able to take full advantage of the time we have together.
- Knock on the door when you arrive.
- Please come to your session well showered, and clean.
- Make sure to drink as much water as you can for up to 2 days prior to your appointment.
- Do not come to your massage under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Cover any fresh, or recovering wounds with a bandage.
- Try not to rush getting to your appointment, stay as relaxed as possible before, during, and after.
What is involved in the in-take process?
- Upon first meeting, you will come to my space and we will sit down to talk about your body. You will fill out an intake form that gives me important information on where you’re at on a physical, mental, spiritual level so I can cater our appointments to your needs. I may have you go through a few exercises so I can get a visual of how your body is functioning.
- Before the massage, I will step out of the room to wash my hands, and allow you to undress to your comfort level, and get under the sheet. I will knock before entering back into the room, start some relaxing music, make sure you’re comfortable, and our session will begin.
- During the massage I will be using bass oils (avocado, sesame, grapeseed, sunflower, jojoba) that I sometimes mix with essential oils (things such as lavender, ylang-ylang, geranium, juniper) for your betterment… a little free aromatherapy. These oils are pure, organic, and safe, unless of course you have specified allergies. I am always open to your feedback throughout the massage, as it is much better for you to speak up so you can get what you’re body is in need of.
- After the appointment, I’ll step out of the room and allow you to take your time to let the work integrate. I will be waiting outside the door with some water for you. We will sit down with each other for a few minutes, allowing you to drink some water and me to give any feedback on things I noticed, stretches that might help your body, and other suggestions that might help you in your process of health in all aspects of the word.
- After you feel integrated, I’ll send you on your way in hopes we’ll see one another again.
What are your policies?
- If a cancellation occurs without at least 24 hour advanced notice, full payment will be charged to the person who the session was scheduled with.
- If you come late to your session, we will do the best work we can within the time slot you were scheduled for. If you are over 30 minutes late and do not let me know you’re on your way, the session will be cancelled and payment will be due in full.
What form of payment will you accept?
I accept cash (preferred), check and electronic payment through Venmo, or PayPal. I should soon be able to accept insurance.
How much clothing am I supposed to remove?
You get undressed to your comfort level. Yes, there are areas that might be more difficult to access or warm up if there is clothing in the way, and it’s far more important that you feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I work with bodies, naked or otherwise on a daily basis. I practice tight sheeting techniques so you don’t feel exposed. I maintain a professional and safe environment for your well being.
Are the sessions confidential?
Yes, completely! Anything you share with me will be kept private. There are a few outstanding circumstances in which I may share your information with another colleague as to enhance your experience, and serve you better, and in some cases recommend you to someone who may be able to better serve you. If you share that you are planning on hurting yourself, or someone else, by law, I’m obligated to report it.
Do you offer discounts/trades?
It’s important to me that my work maintains accessibility. There are trade possibilities, depending on what you’d like to trade. Discounts are always a discussion, and I’m open to having those discussions.
Do you do outcalls?
Yes, I also can set up a weekly, or monthly appointment for your home or office. Outcalls cost an extra $50.
Do you offer erotic work?
I do not offer any sort of erotic work. This can be a very powerful, and healing modality for some, and that is not the work I practice. I ask that you please respect those boundaries.
