Scheduling & New Client Orientation
To schedule an appointment, please call (206) 854-5799 or email.
Availability
Weekend and Evening appointments are available in addition to weekdays.
If you are scheduling consecutive appointments (for more than one person) on a given day, please allow a 15 minute interval between sessions.
In the unfortunate event that I am unavailable to work with you in a given window of time, I have a list of local practitioners who I go to for massage and/or acupuncture, and I can refer you to them in the interim.
Gift certificates are available for all appointments and venues, and can be
mailed to you or directly to the recipient.
Please contact me (see above) to purchase gift certificates.
Wellness Goals and Medical History
Prior to working with you as a new client, I will ask
you to complete a New Client form in which I invite you to identify your Wellness Goals and complete a standard Medical
History, so that I may design your massage with your whole person in
mind.
Getting the most from your massage
Here are a few suggestions that will help you derive the greatest benefit from your massage:
1. Drink adequate water in the 48 hours prior to your appointment. Be well-hydrated, but not sloshing full.
2. Take a walk or get some light aerobic exercise, stretch and have a nice shower, bath, hot tub soak, or saunajust before your massage.
3. Have a light snack ready for afterward.
4. Clear your calendar for post-massage rest, recovery and integration.
