Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can’t find an open spot on your calendar on a day or in a timeframe that I would like to come in?
The booking feature will inform you of next available spots. However, if your availability is limited, your next step is to click the waiting list button on the booking site. You can submit up to five preferred days to be notified of openings as cancellations come through. It is impossible to predict your wait time but if you don’t get in line, you will miss your chance. You may also message me with specific date-range requests. Please message me from my website rather than the booking site.

How is therapeutic massage different from a regular massage?
Most commercial massage businesses offer standard relaxation massage which means every client gets the same routine. You might get some pain relief but it could be from luck more than skill. With qualified therapeutic massage, the therapist is trained to treat specific pain types with advanced techniques, so you are more likely to leave feeling quantifiable pain relief that will last.
What makes you different from other massage clinics that do therapeutic work?
All therapists have individual strengths and their own style, and sometimes those strengths are difficult to quantify. I think what my clients like most about my work is that I really listen, ask questions and strive to solve their puzzles. I am extremely intuitive and can sense what will work even in difficult cases. Some of the maneuvers that I perform I created myself, so I know that no one else does them. I think what I do best is neck work. The neck is a critical area for pain relief in a lot of cases. I cover every strand of cervical muscle in most sessions.
How many times should I come in for therapeutic massage to relieve my pain?
The frequency of visits will depend on several factors including what type of pain you are having and how debilitating it is. All people and symptoms are different so there is no one-size-fits-all answer for this, but most people prefer a monthly frequency.
Will my body be sore after having a therapeutic massage?
Soreness is possible after any massage and some people are more susceptible to it than others. Factors such as general wellness, massage experience and level of pain upon arrival can all make a difference in post-massage discomfort. Soreness is rare and always temporary. The use of an ice pack helps to relieve and prevent it.
What types of payment do you accept?
I take all major credit cards and Venmo. Cash is accepted by all, but checks are accepted by established clients only (not first-time guests).
Do you take any types of insurance?
No, I do not take any type of insurance; however, I can take an HSA or FSA card for an extra $2.00. The extra charge is due to a higher swipe fee. You may request a basic receipt from the payment terminal. If you need an itemized receipt, you may request one and I will email it to you.
Do you sell gift certificates?
Yes. You can buy them in any increment with a minimum purchase of $50. I can sell you one in person, but if remote, you may order a certificate online. Go to Pricing and Policies and scroll down mid-page to find the instructions. You can pay from your phone after completing the form with your gift details such as your name, your recipients name, the address you want the gift to be mailed to and the amount of purchase. When I receive your request, I will reply with a pay link for your requested amount plus $4 shipping / handling.
