Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
At appt time, the client would fill out a client intake form. I review it and ask the client questions and come up w/ a treatment plan making sure to address all issues. I check in on occasion making sure my pressure is to their liking. After the appt, I ask them how they feel and we talk about what I felt if they want to know. We set up another appt, if applicable.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

All sorts I have worked w/ a chiro for 10 yrs so I know how to work w/all sorts of conditions like whiplash, sciatica, migranes/headaches, thoracic outlet syndrome, golfer's/tennis elbow, hip, knee pain, etc Ive also worked in a spa for 10 yrs and do deep tissue and relaxation massage.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Know what your issues are, the type of massage you need, the amount of pressure you require and how valuable massage can be when done regularly. Massage is not a luxury it is a necessity as we age to get everyday kinks and pains out of the bodyand should be done at least monthly- -2x month if an athlete or bodybuilder
