Do you accept tips?
No. My prices are all-inclusive!
I find this is the best model for my practice, but make sure to check in with other bodyworkers you see; many still accept and rely on tips!
Do you offer a sliding scale or any other discounts?
Yes. I offer a sliding scale once a month on Community Day at my Highland Park location. To learn more about Community Day, visit my treatments page and scroll down to the Community Day section.

Do you do house calls?
Yep. I currently offer house calls to returning clients or by referral on Wednesday. House calls include an additional travel fee. You can book house calls through my booking site by clicking the "Travel to me" tab.
HOw are your sessions structured?
I'll greet you at the door of the studio. When you arrive, I’ll take your payment if you haven't paid ahead of time (I like getting that out of the way in the beginning because using technology with post-massage brain is challenging!) Then we will discuss your intake form and treatment goals and make a plan for the session. I'll step out of the room while you undress and get on the table, beneath the blanket and sheet. I'll knock before I re-enter.
During the session, I’ll check in verbally with you as I feel called. You are encouraged to speak up and communicate needs at any time.
At the end of your appointment, I will step out of the room so you can get dressed. When you step out of the room, I'll check in. This is an opportunity to share about your experience and ask questions before heading out.
What do I wear during treatment?
Depth Massage:
My style of massage typically involves oil or lotion, so I will invite you to remove clothes within your comfort level. If you prefer to stay fully clothed, please wear comfortable fabrics.
It’s totally normal to leave underwear on! It’s totally normal to take them off! It’s best if you can remove jewelry– especially necklaces and bracelets. Hair can be pulled back or left down.
During the session, I will undrape areas of your body as I work and I will never expose genitals or breasts.
Reiki & Craniosacral:
You’ll stay clothed for a these sessions. If possible, come wearing comfortable fabrics.
