FAQ & POLICY

Home-based Massage Business

By Appointment Only ~ No walk-in or walk-up appointments ~ Thank You for your understanding!

What to expect?

Q - What should I wear?

A - Normal, everyday clothes.  I do not use oil that will stain your clothes, and you won't feel greasy after the massage.  The lotion I use is a great moisturizer, so you won't feel like you need a shower after the massage. 


Q - Should I shower before my massage?

A - That's totally up to you!  Either way is just fine.


Q - Should I shave my legs?

A - It is not necessary and doesn't bother me at all!  But if it bothers you, feel free to shave!


Q - Do I need my hair to be down or tied up?

A - Long hair loosely tied up works best, and I have hairbands if you forget yours.


Q - Can I wear jewelry? 

A - You can, but I will ask you to remove it before the massage.  I have a dish you can put jewelry in, to keep it safe during the massage.


Q - How much clothing do I have to remove?

A - You may undress to your comfort level.  You will be covered during the massage, except the area of the body being worked. 

Most clients tend to settle into the massage and completely relax.  I will check in with you about pressure and warmth.  Please feel free to speak up, this is your massage.


***I take the massage profession very seriously.  Any verbal and/or nonverbal inappropriate suggestions will not be tolerated.  Upon this occurring, the massage will be terminated and the client will be held liable for the the full price of the massage session.***

Rescheduling

  • A minimum of 12 hours is requested for rescheduling.  
  • Less than 12 hours and No Show shall be charged 50% of the scheduled massage session.
  • It is recommended that you arrive 5 minutes early to your appointment.
  • Appointments shall begin and end on time.
  • Late arrivals will result in a reduction of session duration, but the fee will remain the same.  
  • Do you have a cold, flu, fever or may be contagious?  Stay home!  With prior notice, all fees will be waived.  
    • If you feel a cold or sickness coming on, it's best to reschedule.  You will enjoy the massage more when you are well!
  • Sudden critical emergency or extreme weather?  Contact me ASAP and fees will be waived.

I hold myself to the same policy and standards.  In the event that I need to reschedule your massage, clients will receive equal compensation off the next visit based on given notice.  

Minors

 

  • All minors (17 and younger) MUST have a parent/guardian present.  The youngest age I accept is 12 years of age.
  • I do not perform infant massage.

 

Physical Limitations

  • If you require assistance undressing or getting onto the massage table, please consider bringing a guest to help.  If you are unable to bring a guest, please contact me before booking your appointment.
  • My home is very accessible, however it is not ADA certified.  I do have 2 steps to enter the home.

Allergies and Scents

 

  • Please contact me prior to scheduling your appointment to discuss if you have a severe dog or cat allergy.
  • The lotion I use is hypoallergenic and is lightly scented.  I have the ingredients listed upon request.  I also offer a non-scented hypoallergenic lotion.
  • It is requested that clients refrain from using perfumes, colognes, and sprays prior to the massage session. Some individuals are especially sensitive to scents (myself included), and this allows a positive experience for all clients and the therapist.

  • Payment in full is due at time of service
  • Cash, check, Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal, debit/credit cards accepted

Benefits of massage

Therapeutic Massage is a medically proven method for supporting your health and wellness.  Massage will provide the following benefits:
  • Relief from neck and back pain
  • Stress reduction
  • Increased circulation
  • Improved range of motion
  • Enhanced quality of sleep
  • Greater energy

What's the Logo mean?

I am so glad you asked! The logo is the chemical structure of serotonin, a neurotransmitter important for mood regulation, and normal sleep. Research suggests the effect of massage therapy on the nervous system increases serotonin levels. Having a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology and Chemistry has wired me to be a science geek!
