Which modality is right for me? If you are new to eastern bodywork, ask yourself if the support you are craving is more energetic or physical. While all modalities I offer address both, Zen Shiatsu is the most physically robust, while Reiki is the most energetically focused. Acupressure lies in the middle. 

Timing: Please allow for a cushion of 10 minutes before our appointment so I can arrive early to set up without rushing our work together. I recommend giving yourself 10 minutes afterwards to ensure a smooth, gentle experience coming out of the work. At the end of your session, I highly recommend taking a short walk down the street to integrate and fully wake up if you need to get in your car afterwards. 

Clothing recommendations: All work is done fully clothed, so please wear loose or stretchy, comfortable clothing that you can move around and stretch in. Long pants and a shirt that covers the shoulder/armpit are recommended. No oil is used.

What to expect: I will review your intake form (I will email it to you once the appointment is confirmed) with you upon arrival. Intake can take up to 10 minutes. The bodywork will use the rest of the allotted time.  

Space: If I am traveling to you, please make sure you have space for a queen sized mat on your floor with room to walk around. If you are receiving table work, please make sure you have space for a twin sized table with room to walk around. I will provide mat / table, sheets, pillow, and a light blanket.

Policies: Services offered are that of professional, therapeutic massage. Solicitation for services of a sexual nature will result in immediate termination of treatment and end of the therapeutic relationship.

Cancellations: Please notify me of a cancellation at least 24 hours prior to our appointment. Cancellations within 24 hours will be charged 50% of the appointment fee. (Fee waived with a reschedule within the next month.)

If you are running late, I will do my best to accommodate your appointment. Apologies that I might not be able to extend a session due to scheduling restraints. Please note that fees are not adjusted for shorter sessions due to timing issues.

Payment: Payment is due upon the conclusion of our appointment. Venmo, cash, or checks are the preferred forms of payment. I do not have a credit card reader at this time.

Other notables: Please do not wear scented products for your session. I try to avoid perfumes in the linens used and do not wear scented products while working.
