If this is your first visit to me, click here to open my intake form. Some people find it easier to fill out the form before they get here. To avoid confusion, please take the time to read through the information that follows.

If you've not had a massage before, let me go through some of the basic questions that most people have.

What will happen?
When you arrive, we'll chat a few minutes. I'll review your form (link to it is above) and ask any questions I might have. That's a time you can ask any questions I don't cover here. I'll show you to the massage room and the rest room. Once in the massage room, you will disrobe to whatever level you are comfortable. Your modesty and privacy are preserved at all times during the treatment. Only the body parts I'm working on are uncovered. Some people are comfortable in the nude under the sheets and others leave on their undergarments or wear loose shorts. I'll give you a couple minutes to get ready and will ask permission before entering the room.

Regardless of which massage you've requested, you should let me know if you have any particularly tense or sore areas, so I can work on them or avoid them, as you wish. Anytime in the massage, you can ask me to avoid a particular area or work deeper on a muscle.

When I'm done, I'll let you know (or wake up up) and leave the room while you get dressed.

How long a massage do I want?
Most people opt for an hour unless they are pressed for time or in a debilitated physical condition. One hour gives me time to give a good massage to all areas of the body. An hour and a half just gives more time to focus on each muscle or on your problem areas. You might think it's only your neck that hurts but generally pain can be traced to a different area of the body so a complete body massage is recommended. If you're in doubt if you should have a massage due to some physical problem, consult with your physician first.

Is it good for me to have a massage?
A relaxation massage is good for most people. If you have a health condition or concern, you should check with your physician before scheduling the massage. If you're feeling ill, massage isn't generally a good idea. If you think that massage will be good for a medical condition, check with your physician before scheduling an appointment. The depth of the massage is adjusted based on your preference. An athlete might prefer a much deeper massage than an inactive elderly person but massage can benefit both.

Any other questions?
Feel free to contact me with any other questions you might have.
