Walk Thru

Walk Thru~

New to massage? New to my services and not wanting to assume how things would go?

Here's a walk-thru. Yeah, like so you know how to play a video game. You're welcome, nerds!

-

I don't have a standard rate or service.

We pick a duration of time for the session, define goals, and figure out the agreed best ways to meet those goals.

To book with me, call or text.

You can pay at the time of booking or the day of after the session.

You will get a reminder in the form of contact best for you a day before the session to confirm that our schedule still works, along with any other information you might need.

-

The day of, please arrive 10 or so minutes early if possible. This gives ample time to discuss needs, especially if you have not met me or been in the space before.

We can talk about environment comfort aspects too.

If music is requested by client, there are speakers available with bluetooth or direct headphone jack in. The only request with music is that is be non-lyrical, (samples of some words are generally ok, just not lyric based) and this is subjective to both client and massage therapist, but non sexual or romantic in nature. Beyond that, anything's fine, with the caveat that for any reason either person can decide to change or stop the music. Usually, there is silence and the sound of fish tanks running in the space. :)

If client is too warm, we can start a fan to cool the space, if client is too cold, there is an electric heater that can be turned on for the massage table.

-

If you are having a session fully clothed, more like deep tissue thru fabric work, we can start a timer and go once goals have been spoken to.

If client needs a time to dress down for lotion-based "swedish" style massage therapy or deep tissue without fabric layers, I will step out of the room, client can disrobe and get under the table covers, and I'll just wait to t hear from client before coming back in.

-

During the session, I'll check in with client about the depth and kind of touch being provided. Talking and silence between therapist and client are fine- there is zero expectation to be social, but if you find yourself to be a nervous talker, that's also fine.

(If I'm concerned for your well-being beyond what I can help with given topics you share about, I WILL provide therapy services recommendations. Sometimes as a therapist I have to make boundaries on what I am willing to talk about, listen to or make space for, and will speak those boundaries clearly.)

When the session is nearly over, I will ask if there is anywhere else that the client wants focused on, to make it easy to speak up if something got neglected during the session.

-

When time is done, I'll leave the room to give space for the client to get up off the table and if needed to get dressed.

-

I'll bring water or tea if requested and make sure to knock and ask if it's good to come back in and talk about recommendations, referrals, booking and payment. 

We tend to have a lot of strange things to look at too, and if you see jade plant cuttings you'd like to take home, feel free. Any other plants, art or crafts that are for sale can be purchased.

Most days I have time available by appointment, Thursdays and Fridays currently are the only days I am able to take same-day / "walk in" sessions.

Here is a repeat of my pricing chart:
