SESSION DETAILS

Which style of massage is right for me?
It’s difficult to know exactly what your body needs before I’ve had the chance to assess you and work with you directly. That’s why I typically recommend beginning with a 60-minute Therapeutic Massage. This session provides a thoughtful starting point, allowing me to observe how your body responds and apply a range of modalities tailored to your specific needs. Whether you're seeking relief from tension, support for chronic discomfort, or simply a restorative experience, this approach helps me identify what works best for you. For most clients, a Therapeutic Massage offers the ideal balance of depth, flexibility, comfort, and care.

Do I need to fill out paperwork? Before your first session, I ask that you complete the required intake packet to help me better understand your needs. You can choose the method that works best for you: I can send the documents via email or text, or you're welcome to fill them out in person—just plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early if you prefer the in-house option.

​

When sent electronically, the forms can be completed using the Fill & Sign tab in Adobe Acrobat. You can access the documents directly on your phone, tablet, or computer—whichever option is most convenient for you. By sharing this information, you help create a session that’s attuned to your body’s natural patterns and grounded in thoughtful, restorative care.

Do I need to undress for my session?
I do ask clients to undress for their massage, though some may choose to leave certain items on. Please note that this can sometimes hinder the flow of the massage and may place unnecessary strain on my hands. That said, I understand this process can feel vulnerable, and I want to assure you that your privacy and comfort are always honored. When it’s time for your session to begin, I will step out of the room to give you space to undress and position yourself under the sheets and/or blankets on the massage table. You will be modestly draped throughout the entire session, so there should never be any need for concern.

What will you as my therapist work on during my session? Your session will be tailored to your individual needs, which may shift from visit to visit—because you are not a stagnant being. What your body requires today may be different tomorrow, and I honor that with each and every treatment.

​

In general, I aim to provide massage within the time frame you select, addressing areas such as the back, legs, feet, arms, hands, head, and neck during each session. However, the time spent on each region—and the techniques or modalities I use—will vary based on what your body communicates and what you’re experiencing that day.
