Massage Therapy

  • What types of Therapeutic Massage do you provide?

    I can provide a variety of techniques and often provide a mix of various modalities within a single session. Each session is tailored to the needs of the client, and a consultation is provided in order to assess what the best treatment is. I am trained in traditional Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial, Lymphatic drainage, Tui Na (Chinese Massage), Shiatsu (Japanese Massage), Medical Massage, and Prenatal.

  • What is the cost of a Massage Session?

    Because the session is tailored to you, the client, I charge for time and expertise rather than for specific modalities. And my prices are flat rate.

    • 30 minutes: $65

    • 60 minutes: $115

    • 90 minutes: $160

    • 120 minutes: $200

  • What does it mean that your prices are flat rate?

    An additional gratuity for my services is not expected. My prices were determined with time, expertise and gratuity considered.

  • Do you offer packages for Massage services?

    Yes! I offer pre-paid packages of 6 Massages for 60, 90, and 120 minute time options. This package option offers 10% off the individual session cost

    • 60 minute package: $624

    • 90 minute package: $870

    • 120 minute package: $1098

  • Do you offer Prenatal Massage?

    Yes! Women past 14 weeks of pregnancy benefit greatly from regular massage. In fact, I have a specific prenatal pillow that allows clients well into their 3rd trimester to be face down and face up just the same as when not pregnant. If needed side-lying positions can be used. Generally I only offer 60 or 90 minutes but there is no additional cost. I do just request that you inform me prior to your appointment that you are expecting and how many weeks along you are.
