• Anywhere you want to do the session is discussable.

• If your location is 30 minutes or less from downtown Richmond.

• My table is 6ft by 2.5ft, and I need space to move around it.

• Easy access to parking.

• Indoors and Private, limiting distractions.

• Available bathroom.

• 60 or 90 minutes is hands-on time. Allow for 10-15 minutes before and after for setup/pack up/discussion.

• I have chosen limitations on 60 minute massage.

  • 60 Minutes: Dedicated to focusing on a particular problem area, the upper or lower half of the body.

• 90 Minutes: There is some flexibility. Full Body, Full Body with focus work or focus work only. 90 minutes gives me the time to palpate (examine with touch) for a detailed treatment as I work around the body.

• No two sessions are the same.

• I’ll blend techniques around your needs and preferences.

• As we continue working together, I’ll fine-tune each treatment to help your body feel better.

• I draw from Swedish, Sports Massage, Myofascial Release, stretching and muscle activation.

• Each client’s pressure tolerance is subjective and can vary throughout the body. Some clients want to feel beat up and others want to be touched by an angel.

• So open dialogue is important.

• I will arrive at your location at the appointment time.

• Allow 5-10 minutes for setup.

• We will discuss what you would like out of the session.

• I will step out of sight so you can undress to your comfort level and cover yourself on the massage table.

• The clock to 60 or 90 minutes begins when I return.

• Questions and comments are welcome throughout the session, or you can take a mental break to bliss out.

• Afterwards, I will step away for you to get dressed.

• We will recap.

• Then I will pack up and receive payment.

• If you wish to schedule again, we can book at this time.

• I avoid it.

• During each session consultation we will decide what is acceptable to work on. It is very important to me to not cross your boundaries.

Areas to consider:

• Almost all clients are comfortable with these:

  • Neck, Shoulders, Back, Arms and Hands

• Most clients are comfortable with these:

  • Legs, Feet, Scalp

• Some clients are not comfortable with these:

  • Glutes (Hip/Buttox), Pecs (Chest), Face, Abdomen*

*Abdomen will only be incorporated upon request, or for specific reason.

• I do not see or touch these:

• Front genital, crack in the back.

• Breast tissue- I will never touch or expose. I may work above, below or to the side. If it is too close for comfort, tell me, so I can adjust.

• Rule of thumb: If it is covered by your bathing suit, I don’t want to see it or touch it under any circumstance. Even if you don’t mind.

• All genitals are off limits, period.

• You choose what you want to wear or not wear.

• If you choose to be partially nude or fully nude, you will be draped (covered) by the linens.

• I may work over the drape at times. Generally, I will undrape the segment of the body that I am working.

• If you choose to be clothed, you do not need to be under the linens. I can work over/around your clothing, using jostling, compression, stretching etc. But yes, it is a different experience/outcome from direct skin contact.
