Question 1

What happens in my first visit?

Accepted Answer

We’ll review your health history, goals, and a brief movement/posture check. You’ll receive hands-on treatment and simple take-home suggestions.

Question 2

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Your comfort and privacy is my top priority! The following is my suggestion, but if you prefer to leave on more clothes, I can certainly work around them as well:
For massage, typical underwear works well; bring comfortable shorts/sports bra if you prefer. 
For Structural Integration, underwear or swimwear allows clear access. 
Please note, you will be draped for comfort and privacy for both types of services.

Question 3

Do you do deep pressure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. However, effective work doesn’t have to be painful. We’ll find the pressure that creates change while your nervous system stays at ease.

Question 4

Is intra-oral massage safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when done by a trained therapist with gloves and informed consent. It’s targeted and brief. We’ll discuss whether it’s appropriate for you.

Question 5

Will I be sore after a session?

Accepted Answer

Mild, short-lived soreness can happen, especially with new work. Move gently, hydrate, and let me know if anything feels unusual or persists.

Question 6

Are there reasons I shouldn’t get cupping or deep work?

Accepted Answer

We avoid certain techniques with recent injury, active inflammation, clotting risk, varicose veins, open wounds, some medications, or other conditions. We’ll review your history and adapt.

Question 7

Is Structural Integration a medical treatment?

Accepted Answer

It’s specialized bodywork focused on fascia and movement education. It’s not a substitute for medical care. We can coordinate with your health-care team if needed.
