Frequently Asked Questions
These days, there is entirely too much information out there about our bodies and how we are supposed to relax and move them. Whether you’re new to your healing journey or well-versed in the ways of coming home to yourself, these answers might provide further guidance. Below you will find answers to the most FAQ’s I have received in my time as a certified massage therapist.

What should I do if I feel discomfort? I will start by saying It is absolutely your right and responsibility to communicate any and all discomforts before or during a massage with any practitioner (or non-practitioner, for that matter). I provide the space, amenities, and expertise to feel safe and comfortable, so if anything feels off or bothersome, my number one priority is ensuring your comfort. That being said, some level of discomfort can be expected where myofascial release is concerned. Every body responds differently to releasing tension and safely and skillfully “going into the pain” tends to be the theme in order to get out of the pain long term.
​
Can I talk during the massage, or should I stay quiet? While it is perfectly acceptable and encouraged to communicate any discomfort or feedback you’re noticing from your body during the session (i.e. table warmer could be turned up or down, face cradle could be adjusted, etc.), it is recommended that you attempt to get out of your linear, thinking brain and into your body. Any amount of talking, thinking, or bracing can impede the facilitation of healing.​
