Frequently Asked Questions

During your first massage we’ll sit down and discuss your health history and your reason for coming to the appointment. Once the goal for the massage is established, I will step out of the room, and you will undress and get onto the massage table under the sheets and blanket. When you are settled on the massage table I will re-enter and proceed with the treatment we discussed.

It is up to you. No, you do not have to remove anything you are uncomfortable taking off. I am capable of working with your tissue no matter what you leave on. And at all times you will be covered with a sheet for your privacy, comfort, and warmth.

It is important to make me aware of any health conditions, changes in medications, or recent injuries and surgeries client may have had, so the massage can be effective and appropriate for you.

Yes. However, anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian because I need the parent’s signature on the health intake form providing consent prior to treatment.

For the most effective massage, please talk to me. Speak up if anything is too light pressure, too much pressure, too painful, inappropriate for what you want treated.

If you choose to stay silent, that is ok also. Please understand I will still be checking in with you during the massage to assure your comfort.

I accept cash, check, or credit cards at the time of the service.

Although tipping is always appreciated, it is not expected and remains the client’s decision.

I understand that unanticipated events happen occasionally in everyone’s life that might impact your ability to keep your appointment.  In my desire to be effective and fair to all of my clients and out of consideration of my time, I ask for 2 hours’ advanced notice to cancel the appointment, or you will be charged 50% of missed appointment to be paid prior to scheduling next appointment.

Sexual behavior by the client toward the therapist is always unethical and inappropriate. Such behavior will result in immediate termination of the session with payment due in full.
