Affordable Deep Tissue Massage

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

A. Each massage therapist is different. If the massage only feels good while you are having the massage, but the pain remains without increased range of motion - you need to try another massage therapist. You also need to feel safe, feel like you are not being judged, and that your needs come first. Voice what you don't like as well as what you do like. Results combined with your comfort level is critical.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. My experience and willingness to take the time it needs to work out muscle tension, and assist you in ways you can help yourself. I do not hurry my massages. I work as deep as necessary and no more -- to get results you feel. My work is result oriented. I offer package prices to allow you to get the work you need at incredible value.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. When people get off my massage table and tell me how different they feel, it makes me feel as if I have been paid twice. The satisfaction of a job well done is key. Helping people is heart warming, and feels like I have given a service that was sorely needed. I get to meet fantastic people and I learn everyday.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. How often should I get massage? In this economy few people get massage as often as they need it. As long as people drink water, stretch, eat lots of vegetables and exercise they can wait until they feel too much pain. But if there is stress, inability to exercise, failure to exercise, and structural issues - massage on a regular basis can help us be our most effective accomplishing more in a shorter amount of time. Pain slows us down and limits what we can accomplish. It limits our cognitive function, and affects our long range health. If you do excellent self care you can wait. Otherwise regular massage is necessary.

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. Every massage therapist tells you to drink lots of water when you have a massage. BUT the reason this is so important and should not be skipped is that as material that has been trapped in tight muscles is moved out, our bodies need water to dilute them and help move them through our kidneys and liver without negative effects. Elimination is important. Water, movement that will move our lymph as well, and deep breathing all help you get the very most out of your massage with the least tenderness afterwards. Plus these things help you make the results of your massage last longer before lapsing back into your bad habits create more pain.
