Appointments are about 70 minutes. Please arrive just a few minutes prior to your time to help us prevent crowding in our clinic space.

Please arrive wearing a LOOSE T-SHIRT, LOOSE SWEATPANTS, and SOCKS — you'll need to take off your shoes upon entering the treatment room. Please do not wear denim, thick or delicate fabrics, jewelry, or anything you wouldn’t want compressed or stretched.

Please also bring a new / clean face mask to wear. Due to the close physical nature of our work, this helps with non-contagious coughing, sniffling, or sneezing (e.g., allergies, chronic coughs). However, if you're sick, you MUST cancel and reschedule accordingly (cancellation policy below still applies).

Instead of kneading the muscles like dough only to relax them temporarily, I stimulate the right areas in the right ways to train your nervous system — the thing that makes you feel pain — to turn down its hypersensitivity switch long-term.

I only work with patients in a way where conditions are set up optimally for their success, emphasizing consistency and commitment in our collaboration.

Think of it this way: it’s the difference between wanting to get into the best shape of your life and choosing to work alongside a dedicated personal trainer — with your dream body in mind and a personalized workout plan in tow — versus relying on sporadic motivation to workout only when you feel like it (we all know how that usually turns out).

For the vast majority of cases, you'll enjoy the comfort of remaining fully clothed and without the use of oils on your skin.

When applying the nervous system techniques, we do purposeful work directly on and around the painful areas, which might feel therapeutically intense. While the aim is to work at the higher end of your tolerability, I'll maintain open communication with you throughout to make any necessary adjustments.

Whenever we shift our focus to the lymphatic system, you can expect gentler pressures, with an exception for abdominal work that may require slightly deeper techniques.

Movement and stretching may also be incorporated where suitable.

Because we do deep, purposeful work to build the nervous system's resilience, you might feel a bit sore around the treatment areas for a few days. If your nervous system is very sensitive to start with, you could experience some temporary aggravation of new or existing symptoms for about a week.

This is your body’s way of reacting to being stimulated in a new way. It's like when you start exercising intensely for the first time or after a long break – your muscles feel super sore for a few days, but as you keep working out regularly, this exaggerated type of response decreases.

After any initial discomfort passes, you'll start to notice the positive changes to come.

Just like your doctor can't guarantee that you’ll respond predictably to a new medication when they prescribe it, our path toward your desired results may be influenced by several factors.

These include things like how severe your pain is, how long you've had it, what may have caused it in the first place, your medical / surgical / injury history, what your goals are, your commitment to your treatments, the degree of exposure to triggers, and even unexpected life events.

The best way to see how much better we can get you feeling is to get started.

Yes, receipts from completed treatments can be submitted to your benefits provider under Registered Massage Therapy.

Please keep in mind that managing plan-specific details -- such as confirming coverage for treatments, any doctor's note requirements, benefit-year / per-treatment reimbursement maximums, and submitting claims -- is solely the patient’s responsibility.

At the end of each appointment, we'll conveniently charge the treatment fee to the credit card on file, and promptly email you the insurance receipt in PDF format.

NB -- Insurance does NOT cover cancellation fees, gift card purchases, or gift card redemptions.
