Client Comfort

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, including hypermobile EDS, is a connective tissue disorder that affects collagen, joint stability, skin integrity, and overall mobility. Over the years I have noticed more clients who have this condition, and many are seeking massage therapy to help manage pain, tension, and daily discomfort. Massage can be supportive, but it requires a thoughtful and individualized approach.

Not everyone is ready for surgery, anesthesia, or the recovery time associated with cosmetic procedures. Non-invasive, non-surgical care is a safe and effective approach that can help improve skin tone, reduce swelling, support circulation, and promote overall wellness.

Supporting LGBTQ+ Community through understanding, compassion and support. Genderfluid flag. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been asked several times whether I work with transgender individuals. The answer is absolutely yes. My office is an inclusive and affirming space where every person is welcomed with respect, compassion, and dignity. As long as we treat each other with consideration and kindness, you are more than welcome here. It does not matter if you are transgender, ga

To help keep the massage room comfortable, safe, and ready for every client, I kindly ask that you please do not touch or disturb any massage room equipment or personal tools without permission. This includes the massage table settings, table warmer, stones, and any other items in the room that are used during your session.

If you have sensitivities to essential oils, fragrances, or any kind of smell, please consider booking the first appointment of the day at 8 a.m. This helps ensure the massage room is as scent-free as possible so you can relax comfortably without getting a future headache or receiving irritation from the scent.

Losing a friend recently reminded me of something I’ve seen many times in hospitals: some people face their final moments alone. In the ICU, hospice, and nursing home settings, I’ve witnessed individuals whose families are out of state, unable to travel, or no longer living. They are the last of their line, and sometimes, no one is there to offer a hand to hold, a comforting word, or simply a presence.

Coccyx dysfunction, also known as a tucked tailbone, is a condition that is often misdiagnosed and frequently overlooked. There are not enough medical professionals talking about this debilitating issue, even though it affects thousands of people. It’s something I believe everyone should be more aware of. Coccyx dysfunction can impact many aspects of daily life, leading to significant discomfort and a variety of symptoms that are often difficult to link to the tailbone.

Remember when your granddad used to say, “Get in, do your business, and get out”? He wasn’t just being grumpy. He was actually giving solid health advice. For a lot of us, the bathroom has turned into a mini sanctuary. It’s where we scroll through social media, catch up on reading, or just get a few quiet minutes to ourselves. And while that’s fine in small doses, parking yourself on the toilet for too long can lead to some real problems.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, including jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping sounds when opening the mouth, stiffness in the neck and shoulders, and even tension in the upper back. Many people hold a lot of tension in the jaw and surrounding muscles due to stress, which can exacerbate these symptoms. TMJ issues can also be caused by teeth grinding, misaligned bite, posture problems, or injury. While these issues m

Let’s talk about something a little awkward but completely human: farting during a massage. It happens more often than you might think, and it’s nothing to be embarrassed about. I recently had a client who panicked because they felt a fart coming on, and I want to take a moment to normalize this.

Recovering from a vaccine injury can be challenging, and specialized care can make a meaningful difference. I offer gentle, supportive massage therapy designed to help your body rebalance and restore itself after such an experience.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with many individuals on their healing journeys. Oncology massage holds a special place in my heart, and I have a deep respect for the therapists who dedicate themselves to this specialized field.

When it comes to massage therapy, whether it’s general massage, lymphatic drainage, or specialized work, it’s essential to go to someone who is licensed and insured. This isn’t just about professionalism; it’s about your health, safety, and overall well-being.

Have you ever woken up feeling “off,” drained, or as though something hit you like a ton of bricks yet nothing in your day explains it? Many people are sensitive to shifts in both the environment around us and the larger cosmic forces that affect our planet. Solar flares, electromagnetic fields (EMFs), gamma rays, and even the cycles of the moon can influence how we feel physically, emotionally, and energetically.

I do not accept walk-ins. Here’s why: My sessions are 90 minutes to 2 hours long. When I’m with a client I give my full attention to their care and I do not step away from a session to answer the door or phone. Accepting walk-ins would create time pressures and interruptions that reduce the quality of treatment for everyone.

Aromatherapy has been cherished for thousands of years for its ability to soothe, heal, and rejuvenate. The ancient Egyptians used fragrant oils in their daily rituals, the Greeks turned to them for relaxation and healing, and the Romans infused their baths with essential oils to enhance wellness. Over centuries, these aromatic traditions naturally found their way into massage therapy, blending the power of touch with the therapeutic benefits of scent.

If you’re part of the kink community, you know that some activities can be physically and emotionally intense. From muscle soreness after impact play to joint stiffness from extended positions, your body often needs some extra care. Massage therapy offers a safe, professional, and judgment-free space to help your body recover, release tension, and feel more balanced. This is about supporting your well-being, not sexual activity, so you can truly relax and recharge.

Kink-informed care is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to safe, professional, and compassionate services without judgment or bias. Unfortunately, there is still a stigma when it comes to people with kinks seeking care. Too often, assumptions or personal biases from professionals create unnecessary barriers that prevent individuals from receiving the support they truly need.

It’s always perfectly fine to ask, and I’m more than happy to offer one. A hug can be a simple expression of appreciation, especially for clients who have experienced pain or tension for months and feel relief after a massage.
