Following your appointment it's important to drink plenty of water. You can expect to feel relaxed, have relief from pain, increased circulation and improved range of motion. You may even want a nap.

Most everyone stands to benefit from a massage. Your daily routine imprints itself upon your body and getting a massage works to undo the damage you absorb in your day-to-day life. Here are examples:
Homemakers, Athletes, runners, and fitness enthusiasts: repetitive, intensive use of your muscles can cause strains, cramps, and chronic tightness.
Office workers, commuters: Spend all day staring at a computer screen? Spend several hours a week in a car? Chances are you feel tightness in your neck, shoulders, and low back that deep tissue therapy can address.
Physical laborers: jobs that require lots of heavy lifting and/or long shifts on your feet can cause muscle strains and tightness due to impact and overuse.

There are several situations and conditions in which I cannot perform a massage.
Please check if any of the following applies to you before booking an appointment:

*Injured in a wreck or accident in the last 48 hours

*Undergoing chemotherapy or other intensive treatments without written permission from your doctor

*Open wounds or infections

*Sunburn, poison ivy, freshly tattooed, experiencing a rash

*Hangover

*If you're sick

I require that a parent or guardian accompanies you for your first visit. After I have their written permission, they are free to leave and you are free to attend future appointments unaccompanied.

For first time clients, you can save time before your massage by completing the New Client Intake Form online. If you submit your paperwork ahead of time, I'll only need your signature upon arrival. Click here to fill out the form

As with many service professions, tipping is not mandatory but always appreciated.

This depends on the type of massage . Most clients remove all of their clothing or wear their underwear. If you're receiving myoskeletal massage, athletic wear is appropriate. Professional draping is used at all times.
