Acupuncture & Massage

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. For pain management I perform Massage Therapy with a combination of Deep Tissue, Tui Na (Chinese Medical Massage) Lymphatic Drainage, Sports Massage,and Hot Stones. Essential oils are also utilized to create a healing effect depending on the clients condition.
For more Chronic conditions I implement Acupuncture with E-stim depending on clients history, as well as his/her condition.
Another service that I offer is Esthetics. Esthetics combines skin care assessment as well as facials to enhance the skin. I specialize in Lymphatic Drainage facials. This type of facial benefits clients by the facilitation of lymph drainage around the cheeks, ears, and neck. At the same time, clients are getting a facial. Most people love this type of facial because they say it "clears their stuffy head".

Q. Describe three recent jobs you've completed.

A. Massage Therapy with a focus on performing Range of Motion to the upper Trapezius (shoulder) muscles.
Acupuncture with E-stim applied to the low back for slipped disc pain that leads to Sciatica.
Facial with some Cranial Sacral movements, and exfoliating mask.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Make sure that the provider is aware of what you are looking for, and is competent at providing the help you need. Ask them, "Do you think you can help, and if you're unsuccessful can you give a referral on my behalf to another provider who can help"? A client must always feel comfortable with self advocating.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. That it's not necessary to feel pain during a Massage. More often than not, less is more in life and in health.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. Do you find your patients/clients are right most of the time?

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

If they feel stressed, and need to relax.
If they have the time for the service.
If they care about themselves enough to take care of a problem.
If they have the funds to pay for the service.
