Common Questions

We begin with a brief check-in about how your body is feeling that day and anything you’d like the session to focus on. From there, the work unfolds slowly and intuitively.

That’s completely up to you. Some clients enjoy quiet sessions, while others prefer to chat a bit. You’re always welcome to talk, ask questions, or simply relax in silence—whatever feels most comfortable that day. Many people find that allowing quiet helps the body settle and feel the work more fully.

Sessions are personalized and may include slow, deep massage along with supportive tools such as hot stones, hot towels, gua sha, or cupping when appropriate.

The goal is not to force change, but to create the conditions where your body can unwind naturally and settle into a deeper state of relaxation. And in that state is where true healing begins.

You’ll undress to your level of comfort once the session begins and lie under the sheets on the table. Most people choose to undress completely or keep their underwear on—either is perfectly fine.

You will always be professionally draped with the sheet, and only the area being worked on will be uncovered at any time.

The goal is for you to feel comfortable, relaxed, and at ease throughout the session.

The work is generally slow and intentional, and pressure can range from gentle to deeper depending on what your body needs and what feels comfortable for you.

Rather than forcing deep pressure, the focus is on working gradually into the tissue and allowing the body to soften naturally. Many people find that this slower approach allows the work to reach deeper layers without feeling overly intense.

You’re always welcome to let me know if you’d like more or less pressure at any point during the session.

That’s completely okay—and very common. Many people drift in and out of sleep during their session as the body relaxes. Your body will still receive the full benefit of the work.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice or missed appointments will be charged 50% of the session cost to the card on file.

Your appointment time is reserved especially for you. If you arrive late, your session will still end at the scheduled time so the time set aside for your session can be respected. The full service fee will still apply.
