What is integrative massage?
Integrative massage is a holistic bodywork approach that blends techniques from multiple modalities. In my practice this includes circulatory massage, lymphatic massage, deep tissue, and sensory repatterning. This flexible massage style allows me to custom tailor a session for your unique needs and concerns. An integrative massage session can include techniques to address both superficial and deep muscles, connective tissues, joints, the lymphatic system, the digestive system, and the nervous system. This approach is ideal for clients looking for personalized care that considers both their physical and mental health goals.
How should I prepare for my massage?
You should come to the session hydrated, avoid eating a heavy meal right before, and wear comfortable clothing. Try to arrive a little earlier than the scheduled start time to allow yourself time to transition and use the restroom if needed. Silence or turn off your phone and allow yourself this space to disconnect and relax.
I've never had a massage before. What should I expect?
After you book your session you'll receive an intake form with questions about your health history, areas you'd like me to focus on, and other relevant information. You'll complete this before our session and it will serve as the starting point for a conversation about what you'd like from our session that day (for example, you may request a massage for relaxation purposes or to address low back pain). After we discuss the session goals I'll leave the treatment room while you undress to your comfort level. During the session I will check in about the pressure and adjust my technique as needed. The environment will be quiet with gentle music and aromatherapy if requested.
Do I have to get undressed for my massage?
No. When I say undress to your comfort level, I mean it. If your comfort level is fully clothed I respect that boundary and have many techniques to use in this situation such as assisted stretching, compression, and joint mobilization.
I have sensitive skin/allergies. Is your oil & lotion a safe option for me?
Maybe. I work with a few different oils and lotions and not all of them may be suitable for all bodies. They are all plant based and I always have at least one hypoallergenic option on hand. If you have questions about the specific brand or ingredients please contact me. If skin sensitivities are a chronic condition for you and you have a lotion that you use at home that works well with your skin you are welcome to bring it with you for your session.
I have a question not listed here.
Please reach out via phone call, text, or email and I will respond as promptly as possible.
