My massage philosophy is a simple one. Use what works. To that end, every massage I give is different moving through different modalities as I move through the body. What works for one arm may fall short on the other so I am constantly listening and adapting during each session.
I want every goal we set at the outset of your session to be met and surpassed.
What you should expect:
- professionalism
- I offer NON-SEXUAL Therapeutic Massage.
- comfort
- You will be properly draped throughout your session, and I will adjust the draping, temperatureof the room, sound levels etc. to ensure that you feel relaxed, secure, and comfortable.
- privacy
- Your privacy, both physical and medical will be respected at all times.
- cleanliness
- of the space, the sheets, the table, the body.
- presence
- Though this one seems obvious, an inattentive touch is-in my mind- an inappropriate touch.
- time
- I book sessions with a 15 minute window before and after to give us time to discuss your goals and needs before, and then to give you some time to re-collect yourself after. You can expect a full hour of massage (not the day spa 50 minute hour)
What I expect:
- professionalism
- I offer NON-SEXUAL Therapeutic Massage.
- punctuality
- Please arrive on-time. An early arrival may disrupt another session and a late arrival will diminish your session. I do not enjoy cutting my massages short but I refuse to penalize another client for the previous client's tardiness.
- confirmation
- I have a 24 hour cancellation policy. I will confirm your massage 2 days prior. If for some reason you must cancel please do so with 24 hour notice. Booked massages which are not canceled with sufficient notice will be billed.
- cleanliness
- Please come showered and without overbearing scents and perfumes
What I believe:
- Tipping is for the service industry. I understand that in the spa setting massage is considered a "luxury service"and tipping is somewhat standardized, but in my practice I am the owner and the sole employee. Further, I see massage as a therapeutic practice, in line with the medical industry. As such, I do not expect or accept gratuities.
and
- Massage should be affordable. To this end, I offer discounts to artists and arts professionals as well as an $20 discount for your first session. Further, through my referral program you can receive credit toward your next massage for each new client you refer.
