Many clients are surprised to learn that certain medications, especially opioids and nerve-related prescriptions such as gabapentin and amitriptyline, can change the way the body feels pressure during massage therapy. These medications work by reducing pain signals or altering the way nerves communicate. While this can help with chronic pain, it can also decrease your ability to sense touch and pressure during your session.

When you schedule an appointment with me and you have recently had surgery, I need you to provide a doctor’s release or an under care letter before your first session. This allows your surgeon to be aware of the work you are receiving and ensures that your healing is progressing safely. Your surgeon understands the details of your procedure, your tissue condition, and any risks that may affect your recovery. Having that release protects you, protects your long term outcome, a

Over the years, I’ve had to carefully manage my schedule and the number of hours I work due to health reasons. I want to be transparent about this because it’s important for my clients to understand how I operate. I am always willing to help clients who need pain management, and I often make accommodations for long-term, regular clients to come in on my days off or during holidays. When I offer a special date or time, it is an act of consideration and care.

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.

n this post, I share why safety and vigilance are essential in my massage business. As an independent massage therapist, I have seen firsthand the risks that predators can pose to therapists and vulnerable individuals. From security measures in my office to lessons learned from past incidents, this article highlights the importance of protecting both clients and practitioners while fostering a safe, professional environment.

I want to take a moment to be transparent and share my policy regarding massage appointments and recent vaccinations. Over the years,...

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.

For my business to run smoothly, I need to operate on a strict schedule. Please respect my time, and I will, in turn, respect yours. When you schedule an appointment in advance, make sure it is marked on your calendar. I send reminders 24 hours before your appointment via text and email, so please plan accordingly. I do understand that life happen can arise with unexpected events, illness, or emergencies. That is why I have a policy in place that is is designed to help man

Your health and safety are always my top priority. To ease the minds of my clients, I want to clarify my policies and the precautions I take regarding colds, flu, and COVID-19.

Over the years, a massage therapist learns the importance of establishing boundaries with clients. These boundaries create a clear framework for both the therapist and the client. Respecting each other's boundaries is crucial. I want to emphasize that I have strict boundaries in place, and I rigorously enforce them, particularly regarding sexual harassment from male clients. Too many callers, almost always men, ask inappropriate questions or try to push sessions into sexua

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.

Consultations are an important part of ensuring you receive the best care and guidance for massage therapy, energy work, post-operative care, or any other service I offer. These conversations allow us to discuss your specific needs, health history, expectations, and any questions you may have in a focused and intentional way.

My massage therapy office is a safe haven. I understand that people sometimes come into the therapy room carrying heavy burdens. Venting is natural and allowed. I also respect healthy debate, but there is absolutely no room here for hate, whether directed at the LGBTQ+ community, any race, religion, culture, or demographic.

To ensure a smooth and professional experience for all clients, I want to clearly outline my policies regarding appointments, cancellations, and late arrivals. Your time is valuable, and so is mine. Please read carefully.

Just the Price - There's more than just the price of a massage

The most essential key to both giving and receiving a great massage is communication. Open dialogue between client and therapist is vital for every session and sets the foundation for a safe, effective, and personalized experience.
