FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
If you are in Mahopac, Carmel, Somers, or Yorktown, the massage fee is $125 for an hour, which includes travel, tax, and gratuity. If you are beyond the above areas, the massage fee is $140 for an hour, which includes travel, tax, and gratuity. Discounts are offered upon referrals and with regularly scheduled appointments.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I prefer to speak with them on the phone to understand their goals for the visit and the long term in order to meet their needs. Upon arrival to their home or place of business, I set up the massage table or chair and will need a sheet and blanket for them. I check in with them on how they are feeling and we get started.
