Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of payment do you accept?

Do you accept tips?
I do not! Flat rates keep things simple for both me and my clients. If you enjoyed your session, the best offering you could give me is to re-book, leave a review, &/or refer a friend!

I am committed to using high quality products that are nourishing to your skin and kind to the earth. The massage lotion and cream I use is from Sacred Earth Botanicals. I use high quality, locally crafted CBD oil from Free Bloom Hemp Co. I use warming herbal oils thoughtfully formulated and locally made at Dancing Willow Herbs Apothecary. If there are any questions about ingredients or allergens, please reach out and we will find the right product to support your body.
Do you offer pregnancy massage in the first trimester?
Yes, I do! You may have heard that massage can be dangerous in the first trimester. This is simply misinformation that has circulated widely. There is no substantive research linking massage therapy to fetal harm. When safety guidelines are followed, massage is safe for all stages of pregnancy. The reason many businesses will not offer massage in the first trimester is to avoid liability. It IS true that most miscarriages occur in the first trimester, and so some therapists and businesses choose to avoid the risk of having massage associated with pregnancy loss. If you have more questions about this topic, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss!
Do you offer mobile massage?
I only offer mobile massage for clients I have a working relationship with who have recently given birth and would prefer an in home massage during their postpartum period.
Do you only work on female clients?
No! I am open to working on men, women, and nonbinary folks. Where you are positioned on the gender spectrum is irrelevant to the care you’ll receive from me.

I don’t bill insurance, but I am happy to send you receipts for our sessions that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement/coverage. I have clients who regularly do this with no issues-reach out to your provider for information on how this may work with your plan.
What is your cancellation policy?
I have a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you cancel within 24 hours, the full price of the session is owed.
