Boundaries in Massage Therapy: What It Is and What It Is Not
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.

Accepting walk-ins would create time pressures and interruptions that reduce the quality of treatment for everyone.

Hours of Operation: Why My Hours Are 8 AM to 3 PM
Over time, afternoon traffic from the nearby local Christian Academy school has created challenges for both my clients and my business. Many clients have shared frustrations about the lack of available parking around 2:30 to 3:45 pm, as parents often use our commercial lot despite management’s requests not to. Unfortunately, since the lot is public use under Texas law, parents are legally allowed to park there. The only exceptions are if someone is parked improperly...

Why I Don’t Accept Insurance — And Why That’s Better for You
When it comes to your health and wellness, choosing the right massage therapy experience is just as important as choosing a qualified therapist.

Enhance Your Massage Session with Aromatherapy
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.

Kink-informed care is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to safe, professional, and compassionate services without judgment or bias.

Respect, Advocacy, and Boundaries in a Chaotic World
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.
