Things your massage therapist wants your to know… 🤔🧐
1) Each treatment is individualized! That means if you want to spend and hour on your back or shoulders let me know! It’ll happen.if you want and hour spread out throughout all the whole body’s that can be accomplished too! 🥰
2) you don’t have to shave just for your massage therapist seriously we do NOT care if you shave.
(I sure as hell didn’t shave for you!)
You do yo boo!!🪒
3) I am NOT a mind reader if you need ANY adjustment please tell me! Pressure can be adjusted temperature can also be adjusted. The head ready also adjustable! Please let me know if there is anything you need to make the time more comfortable. 🌡️
4) it is OKAY to have a silent treatment we are not forced to chat. If you are more comfortable having a conversation I will follow your lead! Either way both are good!🤐📵🔇
5)”Deep tissue” does NOT have to be torturous. Deep tissue should be therapeutic where you feel the effectiveness yet are not pulling away from the pressure. 😣😰
6) Wear or don’t wear whatever you are comfortable with I will accommodate accordingly. 🩲👙
7) Is there a specific genre of style of music that helps you relax? Let me know we can switch things up! 🎶
8) Don’t forget to prebook your massages before the schedule books up! 🗓️
I get asked all the time if my hands get sore… ⁉️
Of course they do! 😅
I am human after all… 🧬🫀
Whats more sore than the hands? 🤗
The forearms!
As a body worker there’s lots done with the fingers but more so there’s the constant pushing and pulling with forearm strength 💪
Having a good self care routine along with a wicked strengthening and stretching routine, aid in the minimal discomfort that comes from the repetitive nature of massage. 🤩💆♀️
Here is a sped up sneak peak into my self care routine for my forearms and hands. Without tiring out the other arm. 🤨🤩
Within the video I am using a scraping iastm tool, some cups with active range of motion and deep strolling with my arm and elbow. If you want a more in depth version comment below!
Warning everything in this video is sped up to fit the time line. 🏎️

What happens between patients? 🤷♀️
🫧Cleaning, Charting 📝,and more cleaning🧹
Between ever single patient, everything gets wiped down with medical grade cleaning spray 🧽
And I mean Everything the vinyl cover for the table, the head rest, the arm rest, the chair, door handles and all other surfaces in the room. 🧼
There’s also a ton of charting going on, in the 📝charting process there is; Ongoing treatment goals and milestones achieved, different new discoveries or tests done and some key info on home care.
Once the file has been closed…📁
The next one is opened 📖 to review past charts, ongoing health history forms, patient comfort preferences and pain spots ect…
And then out to greet the the next human being that enters my clinic space. 💕
In between the time for treatment there is a lot going on but it all adds up to providing the most hygienic, comforting and therapeutic environment possible for every single person I meet.
