What To Expect:
My goal is to give you the best service
I can. That being the most for
your money, but also the tools to assist
you in your search for wellness.
Therefore, the information below is to
give you a good head start before
you even walk in to see me.
* Please print out the forms, fill them out prior to your
appointment and bring them in with you. Or, if you
wish you can fill them in and e-mail them to me
before your appointment.
* If you wish to fill out the forms at the office, please
arrive 15 minutes before , so we will not be rushed.
* Many clients like to pay prior to the visit, so they do not
have to worry about it after they have been relaxed for an hour.
You may do that on my web site after we talk,
or before we go into the room.
* Any information you give me is confidential and is not
shared with anyone. If you wish your health care
provider to have information in regards to your
services or treatments, please let me know.
(please let me know of any medications or health problems y0u might have, so that I can provide safe treatments)
* Please do not wear any strong perfume or colognes to
your appointment and dress comfortably.
* During the office visit, it is preferable to silence any
cell phone or PDA phone so to not have
interruptions during the treatment.
* Before we start, I will discuss your preferences, any problem
areas and answer any questions you might have.
* Please inform me of any major medical issue, allergies, Pacemaker, medications or pregnancy before we start.
* If at any time during your visit you have a concern or comment, please do not hesitate to share it with me immediately.
Your comfort and health are my objectives.
* I strive to assist you as an individual and sometimes that means I spend extra time with you. You will not be charged for any extra time, therefore it is best to not schedule any appointments immediately after your visit or session with me.
For Massage & Bodywork
* It is preferable that you haven't taken any medication for pain within 3 hours of your massage. Please refrain from alcohol, stimulants or anything that might alter your sense of feeling.
* Please let me know if you have any major medical illnesses, any allergies, a pacemaker, pregnant or chance of pregnancy. Some types of massage and bodywork modalities are contraindicated in the above. As well, I use magnets in some circumstances.
* If you have been exercising, please shower first !
* With massage, it is best to not come in on a full stomach.
Drinking water prior is preferable to soda or coffee.
My suggestion is to not have any pain medication or alcohol
for 24 hours prior to the appointment, if possible.
* You will always be covered with a sheet or blanket
for comfort and privacy. The amount of clothes
removed for massage and body work, depends on your
comfort level. However, the larger the area without
barriers, the easier it is for a more therapeutic massage
* For massage and bodywork, I will adjust the needed
depth and compression based upon the client.
I do not perform Full Body Deep tissue nor sports massage.
However, I do use Deep Tissue Integration for specific body parts
when requested and Deep Tissue Mechanical Vibration.
* After your treatment when you are dressed, feel free
to discuss anything you might want to change at your
next appointment. My services are tailored
to your health care needs.
* You may feel very relaxed afterwards. Some people describe it as
feeling "light or euphoric", therefore you might want to sit for 5
minutes, relax and not rush to your car or next destination.
* When you receive bodywork or massage, you are
relaxing the body temporarily, but there is an increase
in circulation overall and a movement of waste products
and toxins. Therefore, drinking water afterwards is advised.
For many, that do not drink water after wards, they report
soreness the next day. This is thought of as the "toxins"
not being flushed out of the system. Check with your Dr.
or health care provider first if you are on "fluid restrictions".
* Another way to prolong the massage is to do "self massage"
at home, for it assists the work I provide, to last longer.
A "loofah" pad in the shower is ideal, for it adds more friction
to the skin. For Diabetics and those on blood thinners,
be gentle and strokes should be towards the heart.
A hot bath is a wonderful way to open up the pores,
hydrate the skin and relax the mind and body.
* What really helps, is to set up regular scheduled visits ahead
of time. That way you won't forget to make that important
time for yourself or loved ones. Each time you come in,
you can have me check off another visit on the postcard or
business card that I will give you. It will offer you discounts
on your next visits and occasionally a free one..
