Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to wear a mask?

Due to the low level of COVID-19 disease currently circulating, masks are optional for all clients.

I like to wear a mask during the actual massage, but may not be wearing one during the greeting and closing.

If you would prefer that I wear a mask during all times of the session, no problem! Please be sure to make a note of that on your appointment comment section.

Masks are available if you would like to wear one and have forgotten yours.

Do I need to tip?

Do I need to wear a mask?

Tips are included in the price of the massage! Being a small business owner, I have set my prices so that I am self-sustaining without tips.

However, if you visit a massage therapist that works out of a larger business, please consider tipping them since they are not keeping all (or sometimes even most) of the cost of the massage.

Do I have to get naked??

Its completely up to you. Clients can undress to their level of comfort. This can mean being completely naked, or leaving on certain items of clothing like underwear, sports bras, socks or other garments. No matter what you are wearing (even if its just your birthday suit!) your modesty will be maintained throughout the entire session by keeping your chest, pelvis and glutes completely covered by the sheets and blankets. Its the law in Georgia!

Do you do "Deep Tissue"?

This is my first massage. What can I expect?

Do I have to get naked??

You would think this is a Yes-or-No question. Buckle up, its more complicated than you think. "Deep Tissue" can mean different things to different people, and is often misunderstood. Some people think its just "strong pressure". Some think its "sports massage". In reality, deep tissue simply means that the massage targets deep muscle groups. It may include pressure levels of all types, but it uses specific massage techniques to progressively target deeper and deeper layers of tissue. Sports massage may include deep tissue techniques, but its something different. I don't do "sports massage" but I will use deep tissue techniques if the muscle that needs attention is beneath several layers. So. Yes.

This is my first massage. What can I expect?

The session begins with a 5-10 minute interview where I will assess your massage goals and needs. You will have to fill out a PHI (personal health information) form to inform me of any chronic illnesses, injuries or medications you are on. During the interview we will also plan out your massage (areas to focus on, or avoid, pressure level, etc) You will be given several minutes alone to undress and lay down under the sheets and blankets on the massage table. Your massage will begin and you are encouraged to give feedback at any point to allow for adjustments. Once the massage is complete, you will be given several minutes alone to re-dress, after which we will have a 5-10 minute closing interview.

What are the Modern Wellness modules?

This is my first massage. What can I expect?

Stress and anxiety seem to be an almost inevitable part of modern living. It has gotten so extreme that "burnout" has become very common. During burnout, chronic stress has become so prolonged and extreme that we suffer mental, emotional and physical collapse. In this state, we are merely surviving from one breakdown to the next. The modern wellness modules are at-home, flexible learning modules that teach attainable and realistic behaviors that can help everyone manage their stress and start to live a more balanced life. Each module centers around one important metric of health, like sleep quality. These modules are based on scientific and evidence-based practices.
