New Clients

Gift Certificates

Gift Certificates

 A phone consult is required before your first session.  I will contact you prior to your appointment to talk through your goals, understand your needs, screen you for contraindications, and ensure we are a good fit for each other.  


New client paperwork will be emailed to you to complete before your appointment.  This includes a liability release, health history form, and a cancellation policy acknowledgement form.  If unable to complete it at home, please arrive 15 minute before your appointment to fill it out.


During your first appointment, we'll review your health history and any problem areas you may have (pain, injury, range of motion, etc.).  We'll also talk through any questions you may have and what to expect.  Your first appointment will last approximately 20 minutes longer than the service time.

Medical History

 It is the responsibility of the client to disclose medical history on an intake form at the first appointment to ensure that there are no contraindications (a condition or circumstance that indicates that massage is not safe).  Clients are asked to include past surgeries, injuries, trauma, and anything they feel is necessary to note. 


Clients are asked to share any changes in their health, diagnoses, treatments, illness, or conditions.

If more than 15 minutes late, the appointment will be considered cancelled and the client is responsible for payment in full.
