2. We’ll also discuss expectations as far as pressure, what kind of techniques you’re comfortable with, and any areas of your body you’d like us to avoid. We encourage communication throughout the massage, so no worries if you forgot to bring something up ahead of time, bring it up whenever it pops into your head!

4. What clothing you remove or keep on is up to you, generally people will leave on their underwear and remove everything else, but we’ve had people leave on their bras, socks, shirts, and we’ve had people remove all of it, however you’re comfortable is fine with us, anything can be modified. You will have a sheet and blanket on at all times, and we only undrape the section we’re working with.

6. Serious therapy for long standing pain from injuries, surgery, postural patterns, often take several sessions to ease. Your therapist will have a plan for you to rebook that they think will maximize the benefits and be as efficient as possible. This is a collaborative relationship and you to have a say in your therapeutic plan.

 Out of respect for our therapists, we ask that you cancel your appointment in a timely manner, with at least 24 hours notice. This maximizes the potential for us to rebook your appointment slot with another client and make sure our therapists are able to make the income they deserve. If you cancel your appointment with less than 24 hours' notice, a 50% late cancellation fee will be applied. The full session will be due if you do not make any effort to cancel your appointment and miss it. 

 Despite the “no pain no gain” mentality that has crept it’s way into the world of massage therapy, this is not the case. During almost any bodywork, there is potential for discomfort, but this is very different than pain. We ask that you always let us know if you are feeling pain, we can lighten up the pressure or modify our techniques to get the job done in a way that isn’t going to harm you. 

We accept all major credit cards, Venmo, and Cash.
