What are the benefits of massage and bodywork?
Massage and bodywork can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture, and reduce blood pressure. Massage and bodywork are also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being.
Are there any medical conditions that would make massage or bodywork inadvisable?
Yes. That’s why it’s imperative that, before you begin your session, the practitioner asks general health questions. You must inform the practitioner of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor’s care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for massage or bodywork before any session. Depending on the condition, approval from your doctor may be required.

What are Vibracousitc therapy and Brain Tap?
These are new treatment options that use different frequencies through music, a mat that you lie on, and guided visualization to help create balance within your brain and nervous system. It is like treatment for the core of who you are, while traditional massage is the treatment for the foundation of your body. You will experience a deep relaxation experience that words cannot describe.
Can I have the Vibracoustic or Brain Tap therapy alone, or are they part of the massage?
Great question! You have many options: 1. Vibroacousitc therapy. 2. Brain Tap therapy. 3. Combine Vibracoustic and Brain Tap therapy. 4. Experience your message with the Vibracoustic therapy at the same time.
Where will my massage or bodywork session take place?
Your massage or bodywork session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music may be played to help you relax (or whatever music you prefer! You can even bring your music too. You will lie on a table especially designed for your comfort. The massage table is heated for extra comfort.
Must I be completely undressed?
No! Your comfort is the #1 priority. You will be asked to undress only to your level of comfort. We can discuss this in more detail if you still have more questions.
We know that you are busy and want to get the most out of your session. During your massage, you will be draped with a sheet and blanket except for the area that is being worked on.
Thai massage, cranial sacral release, and acupressure can all be performed with the client fully clothed.
We also offer a mirror in the treatment room so you can make sure you’re looking your best before getting back to reality, feeling better than ever after your massage. There is a self-care basket in the restroom for your convenience.
Will I be covered during the session?
You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed. Please note that all linens are always laundered and sanitized after each client.
What parts of my body will be massaged?
A typical full-body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. Please communicate any areas that you do/do not want to be addressed. Some people are ticklish and want their feet avoided. We will always discuss your massage plan before each session.
What will the massage or bodywork feel like?
A relaxing Swedish massage is often a baseline for clients. In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. I use a specific massage lotion that will allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive friction to the skin. The lotion also helps hydrate your skin. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. Massage and bodywork are most effective when your body is not resisting. Myofascial release, cranial sacral release, and acupressure are all techniques that use a light touch to relieve deeper tensions and restrictions in the body.
I do not want to remove any clothes- can I still get treatment?
There are numerous types of massage and bodywork. We offer many treatments that do not require you to disrobe. Vibroacoustic therapy, Thai massage, acupressure, micro-current electric stim (needleless acupuncture), exercise instruction, taping, and myofascial/cranial sacral therapy are all great options for pain relief.

What should I do during the massage or bodywork session?
Before the massage, feel free to ask the practitioner any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the massage, make yourself comfortable. I will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session. You are welcome to talk during your session too! This session is all about you. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.
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
