ABOUT MY PRACTICE:
My studio is located at 901 N.W. 62nd and is in the office building owned by psychotherapist Martha Baldwin Beveridge. The studio is decorated to be pleasing to the eye and to have a relaxing atmosphere. An adjoining bathroom and shower arrangement are available to my clients. A hydrocolator is available for heat packs to begin the relaxation process for the muscles.
Unless requested otherwise, soft music will be played
during your session to help you relax. During the massage you will
be fully draped with a sheet, both for modesty and for temperature
control. Only the area being currently worked is uncovered. Heat
packs are available if there is need to provide moist heat for relaxation
of tightened muscles.
Each client is important to me as an individual and
each massage session is tailored to meet the client's specific needs.
Relaxation massage, pregnancy massage and deep tissue work are available.
Relaxation and deep tissue work are usually combined during a session unless
the client exclusively needs or requests one or the other. When using
both modalities, long, rhythmic, repetitive strokes are used for relaxation,
combined with accupressure-like work to encourage tight muscles back to resting
length.
Upon your arrival you will be asked to complete an
intake sheet which provides me with some general information concerning your
health, your reasons for coming in and your expectations for the session.
This sheet helps me design the massage session to meet your needs, and it
helps me determine if there is any health reason massage would be
contraindicated for you. The information given on this sheet is considered
confidential in the same way information shared with any health professional
would be.
