I have been Licensed & Practicing Massage Therapy for over 22 years (as of May 2011). I opened my own office in September 2011. I have worked in many different settings which has required an ability to practice many different types of massage.
I tailor my Therapy to meet the needs of my clients, I do not simply follow a routine & I incorporate many different modalities (types of massage) into a session although I can use a very specific approach- for example: I can do a relaxing massage t
hat is therapeutic & rehabilitative without causing pain. Likewise I can do just a relaxing massage that is not therapeutic or rehabilitative which can be an Esalen (movements that help the clients body feel more open & fluid in motion) or a Deep Tissue approach. I constantly review/study anatomy & try different ways to treat an area of the body so I have ideas ready if one approach is not working with a clients' issues, & if I find an approach that helps better than what I've been doing in the past I try it on several clients to confirm its efficacy. I am goal oriented in my approach to treating clients. I am not cheap but the therapy is specific, personal & professional & the prices are commensurate with the service experience I bring to the table (pun intended). I am fine with you deciding whether your session is a full body session or treating one/two/three specific areas during your time. I charge for hands-on time/time on the table- this means I don't count paperwork, info gathering, & undressing as part of your time, & I charge by type of massage ( see below for prices/time/type).
I am a sole proprietor, with my husband, Dennis, also an LMT, as my business partner & appointment scheduler.
