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
-
Can a massage hurt?
Yes. Everyone has different pain tolerance, skin sensitivity, and health conditions that affect how massage feels. Some discomfort is normal when working on muscle tension, inflammation, sensitive areas, or when a nerve or other tissue is causing pain. You may feel slightly achy for a day or two afterward as your body releases tension.
Lymphatic drainage is gentle and typically causes no discomfort.
Good therapeutic discomfort feels like “hurts so good,” while sharp pain may mean the pressure is too intense. But with trigger point release, this is also a normal response. Just let me know - I'll adjust my pressure or technique.
-
How much does a mobile massage cost?
Mobile massage pricing depends on your location and the length of your session. For specific rates and additional details, please check the pricing section of my website.
-
What is your mobile massage cancellation policy?
I require at least 48 hours' notice when you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours' notice will incur a fee.
This policy helps me maintain an efficient schedule and ensures I can offer those time slots to other clients who may be waiting. I completely understand that life happens and unexpected situations arise, so please feel free to reach outif you're facing unusual circumstances. I'm always willing to work with clients when possible.
-
I’ve had injectables in my face; when can I have a face massage?
I suggest waiting 14 days after Botox and 28 days after dermal filler before booking a face massage therapy with intra-oral component. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is safe any time after injectables.
-
Is it normal to have increased urination after my massage?
Yes, this is perfectly normal. During massage, pressure applied to the lower back or abdomen can stimulate the urge to urinate. If your body is retaining fluid, you may also experience increased urination and bowel movements afterward. These are natural responses as your body processes the treatment.
-
Do you bring a table to mobile massage appointments?
Yes, I bring my massage table to all mobile appointments. I will massage clients on my table only, not in personal beds or wheelchairs.
