What to expect during a massage therapy session:

In preparing to receive any type of massage, it's helpful to be psychologically ready. Often people feel vulnerable exposing their bodies to a stranger. They may also feel they aren't worth the time or money they spend on a massage. Receiving a massage challenges us to grow in our self-confidence, to accept ourselves as we are, including the fact that we are worth every penny and every minute of the massage experience.


I will have you fill out a short intake form during your first visit to familiarize myself with your medical history to be sure there are no conditions that would be adversly affected by massage. The sessions generally run 60, 90, and 120 minutes in length. Clients are asked to remove as much clothing as they are comfortable with and rest on a padded massage table. To respect personal privacy and provide adequate warmth, you will be covered or draped with a sheet and blanket or towel so that only the part of the body being worked on is exposed at any given time.

Whether or not you would expect to talk during a session depends on your need at the time. Some clients need to talk. Some need silence. I will be sensitive and accommodate what you need. However, sometimes talking detracts from entering a state of relaxation or experiencing the physical or nonverbal dimensions of the massage. In any case, feel comfortable giving me feedback about your needs and what you like or do not like during the session. Good communication ensures optimal results from the massage session.

It is best not to have eaten just before a session. Digestion diverts circulation to the internal organs and can draw energy and attention away from the massage.
 
What to expect from Energy work:
Energy is a universal term for the vital force. In many bodywork practices the energy or chi is freed from places of blockage. Reiki is a modality that is based on the practice of balancing and amplifying energy on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual planes. I am a certified Reiki practitioner and I use the intention of clear and attuned energy running from the creator through the earth to our bodies helping to release and move energy.

What to expect during a reflexology treatment:
Reflexology is the practice of clearing toxins and improving circulation through the manipulation of reflex points on the hands or feet providing overall relaxation to the body in the process. The body is mapped out on the base of the foot according to zones or meridians, each one corresponding to an organ or system.
 
What to expect during a sports massage therapy session:
Sports massage is a specialty area of massage that assists the body to achieve maximum physical results. It can help protect against pain while boosting performance. Following physical exertion, it helps remove lactic acid build up and restore muscle tone and range of motion. I like to incorporate stretches for the client to help retain healthy range of motion in all the joints preventing injury in times of exertion.
