FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
  My standard rates are $100/hour, $125/75 min, $150/1.5 hours. I charge an additional $50 travel fee for all on-site appointments. Pre-payment is required for all onsite (in-home) appointments. Your appointment is booked/confirmed upon receipt of payment not before, and your requested time may be given to another client in the meantime. Please note, I DO NOT ACCEPT TIPS and I do not offer sessions of less than 1 hour in length. For payment I accept cash and all major debit or credit cards. I do not accept checks or funds transfer services (e.g. Venmo, etc.) Late Cancelation Policy: Cancellations received within 24 hours of appointment start time are considered late cancellations and are nonrefundable. Appointments scheduled within 24 hours of appointment start time are considered to already be within late cancellation period. If prepayment has not been received for booking 100% of appointment cost must be paid in full prior to rescheduling. This policy is applicable to redemption of gift certificates and pre-paid packages. Gift certificates and pre-paid packages are redeemable for up to one year from purchase date.
• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
  This depends on what the client is asking for. If the request is for more basic relaxation massage, then before starting our session I will ask the standard questions about history of injuries, surgeries and illness. If a request is for medical massage or the client is looking to build an ongoing relationship with a therapist to meet specific goals, then I will want to take a more thorough medical history, and will chart our sessions. This documentation can also be provided to the client for reimbursement from insurance or flexible spending accounts when applicable. I also, recommend an initial 90min session in these cases to do a thorough assessment and have time to review goals and history, unless the client's condition makes extended sessions difficult.
• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
  I am committed to ongoing education to further my knowledge of my craft and bring you an expanded palette of tools that can be custom tailored to your unique needs. This year (2018) I am pursuing certification in Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Orthopedic Massage and Fascial Stretch Therapy. This is in addition to my training for working with oncology patients and clients with other medical complications.
