Frequently Asked Questions

Initial treatments include a consultation to cover your medical history to help me tailor treatments to your specific needs. Thereafter following visits will include short consultations updating how you are doing.

During the session my work is done mostly in silence.   I tend to hear more in the silence, although during the Position of Comfort Release and the Stretching we will need to communicate.  If at any time you are having discomfort, please let me know.  For your comfort of course, but also it will cue me in on what is going on with you.   Overall, silence increases the value of your massage to Relax, Renew and Revitalize.

How will I feel after the massage or bodywork session?
Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. Since toxins are released from your soft tissues during a massage, it is recommended you drink plenty of water following your massage.

Are there any medical conditions that would make massage or bodywork inadvisable?
Yes. That’s why it’s imperative that, before I begin your session I will be asking you general health questions. It is very important that you inform me of any health problems or medications you are taking. I will go over all this in your first visit.
