Many people have questions (like "what is this?", "can you help ---?"), and this is encouraged, however I ask that you please review the information available on my website and then ask me a specific question. Or maybe the question is better formed during or after your session, as you are processing old stuff that is being released (emotionally) and you wish to understand deeper.
Each session has time for consult/guidance - because let's discuss what you are ready to work on changing or releasing from your body and mindset so that you can FEEL FREE TO MOVE, LIGHTER and HAPPIER OVERALL.
Do you offer specials or discounts? (Not often but could be seasonally; if there's more openings.)
You may use Code VIP10 for $10 off select services or VIP15 for $15 off select services.
This code replaced VIP loyalty rates for Military, Seniors or service professions.
Do I leave my clothes on? (Bodywork or Reiki - YES!)
Sure, if you're more comfortable that way! It's easier to work over clothing for thai bodywork and stretching. No Jeans! Comfortable clothing like yoga pants or gym pants.
When to take under garments off? If receiving a massage therapy (or combined) session with oil/lotion, and you need glute work for hip mobility and low back pain, you can skip the under garments, as you will be appropriately draped. However joint mobility can also be worked over sheets and clothing.
To Tip or not to tip? What is the etiquette?
Tipping is soo appreciated! I have raised my rates to where I'm not offended if some are not able to tip. Personally, I am super fond of "PAY IT FORWARD" and feel those who tip larger amounts are contributing to the service of those who are skipping tipping or tipping less (usually due to budgeting purposes), essentially balancing out support for others and what else I might be able to offer to our community, like free mini videos or inspiration. We are all limited by time and priorities. I see professionals regularly for healing and know how important it is that I maintain my wellness to be of the best service to others.
I also understand some people need healing before they VALUE their bodies and the healing they receive. This is why I have the code above. Though not asked, I do want to mention my rates are higher than most massage therapy places because of what is possible from healing work. The combination work I do is much different. Also, I provide the best quality of work and healing when I am rested and balancing life/work and choose to limit my schedule and time appropriately for my self-care, etc.
What do you offer for allergies?
PLEASE let me know before the session OR BRING your own oil! I diffuse essential oils so if you prefer not to have that going, I need to know before the session. I use Biotone Truly Coconut oil, CBD oil or Santa Barbara Cream (contains Olive Oil, coconut oil, Beeswax, plus essential oils - its edible).
Does Massage therapy or bodywork help pain or limited mobility? Yes - tell me what's going on before and/or during the session so I can help with any chronic or acute pain issue. You can point or tell me where the pain appears, although I will work other areas that contribute to the issue.
Do you have Special Accommodations for comfort or getting on to table?
I do have extra pillows for propping or you can rest side-lying if laying on your back or stomach is uncomfortable. I have a lift table so it can be lowered to get onto.
Wheelchair accessible office.
Outcall availability within O'Fallon - Shiloh - Fairview Heights area may be considered at additional charge for time away from office (60 minute session at 90 minute rate, etc).
