The first session

An hour that starts from your referral and the areas it names. We work with a referral from your doctor or other provider, and we do not diagnose.

  • Your referral read with you first

  • Massage on the areas it names

  • A receipt you can send to your plan

Pressure, cover and what to wear

  • Pressure

    You set it at the start and change it whenever you like. Lighter or firmer, one word is enough.

  • Covered

    A sheet covers you the whole session. Only the area being worked on is uncovered.

  • What to wear

    Whatever you can undress to your comfort from, and move in afterward. Keep on what you prefer.

  • Ask your provider

    Check with your doctor or other provider first if your situation has changed since they wrote the referral.
