  • Face Massage Therapy

    A relaxing yet stimulating treatment of the face, neck and décolletage aiming to decrease face tension, increase blood flow, lymphatic drainage and improve overall tissue health. Face massage therapy helps create awareness of how emotions contribute to stress and changes in our appearance. The intra-oral component benefits relaxation, tense mimic muscles, and jaw tension contributing to headaches.

  • Therapeutic Massage

    A therapeutic massage assists function and movement and alleviates pain using hands-on techniques, assessment and homecare to achieve specific health goals. Modalities include Swedish massage, stretching, deeper therapeutic techniques, assisting instruments and more to manipulate muscles, connective tissues, tendons and ligaments.

  • Relaxation Massage

    A relaxation massage has similar therapeutic goals to a traditional massage but also focuses on helping you reach a state where you can breathe deeply, reconnect with your body, and unwind from stressful thoughts. This technique involves longer and slower massage strokes, sometimes including touch to the hands, feet, scalp and face.

Questions & Answers


  • Do you offer same-day mobile massage treatments?

    Unfortunately, I don’t offer same-day mobile massage treatments. I require a minimum of 72 hours notice for mobile massage bookings to ensure proper scheduling and preparation. If you have any questions or need assistance with scheduling, please don't hesitate to let me know – I'm here to help!

  • What is a seroma? Can you help if I have one?

    A seroma is a buildup of fluid that can occur under the skin after surgery or trauma, appearing within days or weeks. It appears as a soft, painless swelling that can be felt or seen under the skin. They are most common after surgeries that involve removing large amounts of tissue or lymph nodes, such as breast surgery or lymph node dissection.

    Lymphatic massage combined with taping and compression can be helpful, but a surgeon may need to aspirate the fluid with a needle.

  • How often should I get a face massage treatment?

    I typically recommend a face massage treatment once a week to experience noticeable results and enhance your overall well-being. However, I understand that weekly sessions may not be feasible for everyone – we all wish we could have a weekly massage!

    If you are looking for general relaxation and tension relief, you can try every 2-3 weeks or whenever you feel the need. If you have specific concerns you'd like to address, a regular treatment plan, such as once a month, can provide benefits.

  • Should I get a massage *before* surgery?

    Undergoing one or two lymphatic massages a few days before your surgery could be beneficial. While the body naturally heals itself, a lymphatic massage may assist in enhancing your system's ability to manage the inflammatory process and promote more efficient healing.

  • Can therapeutic massage be used for specific conditions?

    Certainly, many individuals can benefit from a therapeutic massage at various points in their lives. Common reasons include, but are not limited to, postural imbalances, muscle strain, chronic pain management, repetitive injuries, headaches, car crash injuries, and more.

    Additionally, even without a specific reason, everyday stress and life experiences can lead to tension, pain, and tightness in the body, making therapeutic massage a valuable tool for relaxation and overall well-being.

  • What should I do after my massage?

    Prioritize self-care by staying hydrated, eating nutritious meals, engaging in gentle physical activity like walking, or indulging in an Epsom salt bath for relaxation. Most importantly, try to remain calm and self-aware. If you're recovering from surgery, ensure you continue wearing your compression garments, follow your surgeon's recommendations, and maintain consistent self-care practices. Just listen to your body and give it the care it needs.
