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.

From personalized care to cost transparency, here’s why self-pay massage therapy in Texas is often the better choice.

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.

Draping is an important part of every massage session. It provides warmth, comfort, and a sense of security, allowing you to fully relax. Draping also establishes clear boundaries so that your session remains safe and professional at all times.
