What to Expect

New clients must fill out a brief contact and health history form and sign the release agreement either at their first appointment or online before their appointment to save time.
Masks are optional for clients. KN95 masks are available just outside the office door. For clients who choose to mask, I am happy to wear a mask for the duration of your appointment.
After you arrive we will discuss your goals for your session and together make a plan for how the session will go. Based on your goals, we may do short assessments of your posture and range of motion to determine what kind of massage will best support you. We may do some work with you fully dressed, either on the table or sitting in a chair.
For craniosacral therapy sessions, you will remain fully clothed for the duration.
Wearing loose-fitting or stretchy clothing is recommended.
You will then be given a few minutes alone in the room to disrobe to your comfort level and get comfortable on the table. I will step out to wash my hands and knock for your OK before entering the room.

Every session is unique to the individual's goals and needs.
For massage, you will be properly draped at all times with only the area being worked on exposed.
A variety of strokes, pressures, and movements may be applied to: soften, open, or stretch your muscles and fascia to increase mobility and comfort; aid in lymphatic circulation; or simply help your nervous system to regulate.
There will be times when you can passively experience the work and times when you may be asked to gently resist the pressure I'm applying, take deep breaths, or reposition on the table.
Soft ambient music may be played depending on your preference.
The table warmer's temperature can be adjusted as you need in order to keep you comfortable for the duration
At the end of your massage, I will again step out of the room and close the door behind me to wash my hands, giving you time to integrate and get dressed.
When I return we will discuss how the session went for you, identify which goals were met and what could be addressed in your next session, and possibly give you "homework" of a simple stretch or two that you can do at home. This is also the time for you to ask any relevant questions that may have arisen. Payment can be made at this time, and you can schedule your next session.
