FAQs

 

How do I schedule an office session with you?

Contact me directly via email to schedule a Massage or Energy Work session. I will respond with a questionnaire regarding your preferences for date, time, session length, and type of service to help create the customized experience you’re seeking.

As I often schedule clients months in advance, booking multiple appointments at once is recommended to help guarantee continued availability. In the meantime, I’m also happy to add you to the waiting list for the next opening within your availability.

To secure your first appointment, a 50% deposit may be sent via Venmo. Once payment is received, your session will be confirmed, and additional details will be sent to the best phone number to reach you.

How do I schedule a virtual session with you?

To schedule a virtual session, please contact me via email so we can arrange a date and time that works best for you. To secure your appointment, payment may be sent via Venmo. Once payment is received, your session will be confirmed, and additional details will be sent to the best phone number to reach you.

What are your professional boundaries?

Clients may choose to leave on or remove whatever amount of clothing they feel comfortable with, refuse any massage techniques, or stop the massage or energy work session at any time. Clients will always remain properly draped, with only the area being worked on undraped during the session and covered again immediately afterwards.

Sexual interaction, behavior, or discussion of any kind between the Massage Therapist and client is NEVER appropriate and will not be tolerated.

Where are you located?

Wallingford and Westport Connecticut.

What if I have a medical condition or injury?

It is the responsibility of the client to keep the Massage Therapist informed of any current medical treatment, and changes in health condition. If you are unsure of whether or not massage is permitted, please check with your physician. In certain cases, I may ask for written permission in order to continue care.

What can I expect during a session?

Massage: Upon your arrival, you’ll complete a brief intake form. Once completed, I’ll offer you the option to use the restroom and a beverage if you’d like. We’ll then sit down together in my office to review your intake form and discuss your goals, concerns, and any areas requiring additional attention.

Depending on your needs, I may offer treatment suggestions for your first session, although I typically prefer to begin with a full body massage. Since each session is fully customized, I’m able to focus on specific areas of concern while still providing a balanced full-body experience. This approach allows me to better understand your body’s patterns and determine where greater concentration may be beneficial in future sessions. You can think of the first session as somewhat of an introductory assessment before creating more personalized wellness recommendations.

Before beginning, I’ll explain any tools or techniques used during the session and answer any questions you may have. Once we finalize the plan for your session, I’ll step out of the room to allow you time to change in privacy.

When I re-enter the room with your permission, we begin the massage. At the end of your session, I’ll offer another beverage, answer any questions or feedback regarding the experience, and provide any suggested homework or wellness recommendations, because wellness doesn’t end in my office, it’s a lifestyle.

Energy Work: Upon your arrival, I’ll welcome you in, offer you the option to use the restroom, and offer a beverage if you’d like. We’ll then sit down together in my office, where I’ll explain what to expect during the session.

I never ask for details regarding what brings you in, although you are always welcome to share. I prefer not to have prior information influence the intuitive feedback I receive during the session.

Once we discuss the process, I’ll step out of the room to allow you time to get comfortable on the table. For energy healing sessions, you remain fully clothed. If your session includes massage therapy, I’ll give you time to change before we begin.

For 2 hour integrated massage and energy healing sessions, we begin with a full body massage and transition directly into the energy healing portion of the session. Once the energy healing begins, all conversation stops.

If your session is solely energy healing, when I re-enter the room, we no longer speak for the remainder of the session. Although you remain fully clothed, you are welcome to underdress to your comfort level beneath the sheets.

During the energy healing, I do not physically touch you. The only thing placed on the body are crystals, which are used intentionally for energetic precision and alignment throughout the session.

During this time, you may experience physical sensations, emotions, memories, thoughts, or energetic shifts as energy moves through the body. As the session progresses, I write down any intuitive or channeled information I receive regarding what may be stored or held within the body. This can relate to emotions, experiences, patterns, or unresolved energies.

When the session is complete, we sit down together and discuss anything that came up for you during the experience. I then share the channeled information I received throughout the session. Often, this information relates to things you may not openly speak about, consciously think about, or may feel you have already moved beyond. Sometimes these are deeply personal experiences that no one else knows about.

The purpose of discussing these themes is to create space for reflection, awareness, healing, and deeper understanding. At the end of the session, you’ll receive the written notes so you can continue to process and reflect in your own time.

What can I expect after a session?

Massage: Regardless of whether your session includes deep therapeutic work or relaxation-focused techniques, most clients leave feeling deeply relaxed afterwards. I have intentionally designed my practice to appeal to all of the senses, creating an immersive environment that supports the nervous system in fully unwinding.

The combination of hands-on bodywork and additional relaxation techniques may leave you feeling extremely calm, grounded, and mentally slowed down following your session, often referred to as “massage drunk.” Because of this, I recommend taking a few moments to fully reorient yourself before operating your vehicle.

Depending on the type of work performed during your session, varying levels of post-massage soreness may occur. We may concentrate deeply on specific areas while using lighter pressure throughout the rest of the body. Most therapeutic sessions result in mild to moderate soreness afterwards, similar to the feeling following a productive workout, while relaxation-focused sessions may result in little to no soreness.

Energy Work: During an energy work session, we are often bringing awareness to emotional patterns, energetic blocks, memories, or areas of personal growth. Because of this, emotions, thoughts, or realizations connected to the session may continue to surface afterwards as your mind and body process the experience.

I encourage clients to spend time reflecting, journaling, and observing these themes with awareness and compassion. Since you will receive a written explanation of the information and impressions received during your session, you’ll have the opportunity to revisit and process these insights more deeply over time.

As emotions may feel heightened during this period, I recommend giving yourself space to process your feelings before reacting impulsively or reaching out to individuals connected to emotionally charged situations.

Many clients describe experiencing a greater sense of clarity, emotional release, perspective shifts, or renewed self-awareness after a session. The process can feel similar to lifting emotional weight or slowly clearing dense fog, allowing you to move forward with greater understanding, intention, and alignment.
