We offer a holistic experience that goes beyond typical massage therapy, incorporating various modalities to ensure comprehensive care for your body and mind.

Yes, massage therapy can be highly beneficial during pregnancy when performed by a trained professional, like Kelly. It is specifically designed to address the unique needs of expectant mothers, helping to alleviate common discomforts, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being. However, it is important to note that we do not offer massage therapy during the first trimester of pregnancy. This decision is based on the increased risk of miscarriage during the first 12 weeks and concerns that increased blood flow during a massage might be harmful. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before beginning any new treatment during pregnancy.

You don’t need to necessarily shower right before your massage, but do we ask that you come to your appointments clean and free of fragranced personal care products.

This depends on your comfort level and the type of massage you are going to receive.  Licensed massage therapists must ensure that clients are always properly covered by a sheet or towel, genitals will never be exposed, and only the specific areas being massaged will be uncovered.

You are encouraged to openly communicate with the massage therapist about your preferences and comfort.  If anything needs to be adjusted, or if we are almost (but not quite) getting the right spot, just speak up and let us know right away!

However, it is a myth that massage therapy needs to hurt in order to be effective.  Some of the most effective techniques involve very light, gentle touch.  Often, too much pressure can cause muscles to tighten further, and detract from the effectiveness of your treatment.

A massage will likely just make you feel worse. If you are sick, you may get your therapist sick and pass it on to other clients that day. Even if you are giving less than a 24 hour notice, we prefer you reschedule your appointment if you are feeling unwell, so let us know as soon as possible.

Yes, please let your massage therapist know right away.

No, not even as a joke.  This is disrespectful to your massage therapist and our profession.  Additionally, we have a zero tolerance policy and any sexual advances, innuendo, or inappropriate touching is grounds for immediate termination of your session.

Yes, absolutely let your massage therapist know if you do not want to be touched in a specific area or in a certain way. You don’t have to give us any details, and you have the right to ask to take a break or end your massage all together at any time, for any reason.

No! All our therapists will ask you to remove clothing only as far as you feel comfortable. If you only want to undress to your underwear, that’s fine.

The therapist will leave the room while you’re undressing and will provide towels and blankets to cover you during the massage. There are some massages that work well if you want to remain clothed, so discuss this with us before you book.

Some people prefer to chat during their massage session but don’t feel you have to make conversation. If you want to close your eyes and relax, that’s alright. 

Do speak up if:

• You’re feeling hot or cold
• You’re in pain
• You have questions, or you forgot to mention something important during the consultation

It’s completely normal to feel self-conscious about certain aspects when considering massage therapy. To address your concerns, start by communicating openly with your therapist about what makes you uncomfortable; they are trained to help you feel at ease and can adjust their approach accordingly.

Focus on the relaxation benefits of the session, trusting in the therapist’s expertise to guide you. If you’re still unsure, consider scheduling a brief consultation to discuss your concerns and get a feel for their style. Remember, your comfort is a priority, and a skilled therapist will work with you to ensure a positive experience!

Let your massage therapist know before your session. They can use firm, slow pressure or, if you’re extremely sensitive, they can avoid your tickle spots.
