FAQS
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?
We'll do a brief intake to get a sense of how you're feeling and what your goals are for the day. If you book a Deep Tissue Massage, I'll leave the room to allow you to disrobe. If you book a Bodywork session, please wear comfortable and flexible clothing to allow for unrestricted movement. Workout clothing like sweatpants, leggings, shorts, and comfortable tops work well.
WHERE DO THE SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?
I am located between the Castro and Noe Valley on the 2nd floor, only a 5 minute walk from Castro Station and the J-line, and only a 3 minute walk from the 33 bus line. If you are unable to climb stairs, please reach out so we can find an alternative option.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM BODYWORK?
Anyone can benefit from this, and I generally recommend 12 years or older to receive the full effect. If you have sensations, relationships, or a body of any kind, it's for you! This work has the range to meet a variety of people on all extremes of physical, emotional, and social spectrums. Certain medical conditions that require specific techniques (such as cancer patients or pregnancy) may require modification.
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND I DO AFTER A SESSION?
Always hydrate. Massage and bodywork move fluid throughout the body, oftentimes fluid that has been stuck for a while. Hydrating will help your body eliminate the old and bring in fresh nourishment. Your muscles may be sore and a hot bath, especially with Epsom salt, can help with that. Also, gentle stretching and flexing of the sore muscles will help the fascial matrix reorganize and pump nutrients into the muscles.
DO YOU OFFER MOBILE MASSAGE AND BODYWORK?
Yes, I also offer mobile massage and bodywork in your home or office. Please reach out for mobile inquiries. My setups are flexible to most spaces and I arrive with all necessary equipment and supplies. I don't have any concerns about pets.
COVID-19 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
I am vaccinated against COVID-19 and stay updated with current boosters. If you feel more comfortable masking, please let me know so I can wear a KN-95 mask. Given the close proximity of massage and bodywork, please let me know if you are exposed to or test positive for COVID-19 before, during, or after a session so we can manage a safe course of action for everyone.
