FAQs
Should I book a 60, 90, or 120 minute session?
60 minutes is ideal for general relaxation or as a follow-up.
90 minutes allows time to address larger issues/areas of tension.
120 minutes is the best way to make sure we have time to cover multiple issues in a full body session.
What are your restrictions on Prenatal appointments?
Unless you have been directed otherwise by your medical provider, I can work with you from before conception, through your first, second and third trimesters, right up until you go into labor!
For Postnatal sessions, I can work with you as soon as you are cleared by your healthcare provider for massage.
How often should I get a massage?
That depends on a lot of factors, including time and finances, both of which are precious resources. Generally speaking I suggest that if you are suffering and in pain, try to come once a week until we get you to a place of more comfort and ease, then you can begin to taper off
For general maintenance, once or twice a month is a great goal to shoot for. Remember: you didn't get into pain in 90min and it will likely take more than 90min to get you back to a place of balance.
TLDR: Come when you can and always give yourself grace.
What should I do after my session?
If possible, it's always a good idea to have a little quiet time after your massage to let your nervous system incorporate the work.
Go for a walk, sit by yourself somewhere quiet and read. Have some hot tea or a glass of water.
Sometimes you have to go right back to the grind - if that's the case, remember to take deep breaths and be kind to yourself.
