There are so many marketing terms that folks use to explain what a massage is, but quite simply, we're manual therapists that support your nervous system. We use oil on your skin, or we work over your clothes, and from there we get into a whole spectrum of technique styles and intentions for healing. Deep tissue, pregnancy, sports etc., these are terms that describe a preference, a life stage or a hobby. Our pressure can be gentle or heavy, the concepts of touch therapy don't have any specific written rules and are completely based on what each patient needs at each session.
Before we begin a treatment plan, you will fill out a comprehensive health history form that will let me know your preferences, needs, injuries and health states.
With a brief interview, I'll be able to tailor your treatment to your needs and areas of concern. At any time throughout the massage, we can switch gears or find a different way to approach a tender point.
"No pain, no gain" doesn't apply to what I do, so if you're unsure, speak up and let's find a solution to make sure that your nervous system is getting exactly what it needs.
I will always do my best to ensure that your treatment is safe and effective for you.
Please note, we do not offer direct billing.
