Spring 2024!

Hello there and welcome! Spring is finally here to stay…the days are warmer, flowers are blooming and birds can be heard chirping outside my office window. Yay!

I am continuing to see returning clients but am NOT accepting new clients at this time (Psst! If you have a gift certificate, you are considered a returning client in my eyes even if we have never met prior). My spring/summer schedule is up to date and massage therapy/bodywork sessions can be scheduled up to 90 days in advance.

Trying to book with me but my schedule doesn’t work for you? Need a massage therapist recommendation for practitioners who offer treatment types I don’t? Here is who I love and trust in the area. I have had sessions with each of these practitioners and have even taught some of them so can speak to their work personally:

Infection Prevention Update. At this time, masks are optional but always know I am happy to wear a mask if you are immunocompromised or just plain ‘ol want me to. I have been fully vaccinated for COVID since 3/12/2021 and all available booster doses (in Worcester we spell it “borcester”). I’ve also had my most current flu vaccine. I will also continue to follow non-mask related recommended COVID-19 sanitation and hygiene precautions during all massage therapy and bodywork sessions in my practice, because, well, those have always been a good idea.

See you soon, be nice to one another, and wash your hands.

It’s okay to want to feel better…

At any age, in any stage of wellness, it’s okay to want to feel better. And massage therapy can help you with that:

  • improve quality of sleep,

  • reduce feelings of anxiety,

  • reduce feelings of depression,

  • increase body awareness,

  • address/compliment injury rehabilitation,

  • decrease aches and pains,

  • just plain ‘ol chill out and recoup a bit, and

  • more!

Many assume massage therapy is merely focused on the muscular system. But, long before massage therapy and bodywork affect your muscles, tendons, ligaments or fascia, they affect your nervous system. So let’s not set your nervous system on fire, eh? My goal in designing treatments is to soothe and settle your nervous system, allowing for the soft tissues of your body to melt into and accept the work…not to be on guard and fight against it. Comfort is foremost in my mind before, during and after each session. Looking to have session of super deep pressure? I am not your gal. It’s not the approach I choose for my work and there are folks in the area who are much better at it than me (like Michael Surabian LMT: https://everybodymt.com and Revived Athlete Recovery: https://revivedathleterecovery.com).

Ways to feel better…

Therapeutic Massage

A combination of massage therapy and bodywork modalities including Swedish relaxation, deep tissue, orthopedic, Thai yoga massage and craniosacral therapy to address acute and/or chronic pain. Not sure which you need? That's okay! Each session will be adjusted for your needs at the time. 

Table Thai Yoga Massage

Based upon traditional Thai massage, this is a very movement and stretching based session. Jokingly called "lazy person's yoga", clients wear loose and/or stretchy clothing while I gently move and press your limbs to stretch you out and energize you.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Massage

These sessions are designed specifically for the needs and comfort of the mom-to-be as well as new moms who have delivered within the past 3 months. Considerations and adjustments in technique allow for safe treatments from first trimester through, and beyond, delivery.

CranioSacral Therapy

A very gentle and light touch form of bodywork that releases tension in the fascia and nervous system. It allows the body to relax and self-correct as a means to address pain and discomfort. CranioSacral Therapy can be very relaxing and a good option for those who are touch averse, touch sensitive or prefer to stay clothed during their session.

Thai Foot Reflexology

Thai Foot Reflexology sessions include Thai foot massage followed by traditional Thai reflexology where work with the foot corresponds to the well-being of the entire body.

Massage Cupping

The use of silicone cups to gently add a new dimension to your massage therapy session. While most modalities press into the body, cupping adds lifts to help separate and loosen muscle and fascia. This can be integrated into any session.

Session times and rates for feeling better…

All of my massage therapy and bodywork sessions costs are based upon time on the table…not on the type or style of the work. My knowledge of anatomy and massage therapy/bodywork modalities comes with me to every session, so there’s no point in me charging different rates for different types. Make sense? Yeah, I thought so, too.

 

Massage Therapy/Bodywork Rates:

  • 30 minute massage therapy/bodywork session: $60

  • 45 minute massage therapy/bodywork session: $75

  • 60 minute massage therapy/bodywork session: $90

  • 90 minute massage therapy/bodywork session: $120

  • 120 minute massage therapy/bodywork session: $150

 

Also? I run a non-tipping practice. So the cost listed above is really the cost. (Thought you were going to have to tip me? Aw, that’s so sweet! I recommend you treat yourself to a coffee or yummy baked good instead. CRUST is mere moments from my office. You should go.)

Have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Medical Spending Account (FSA)? I am able to accept those forms of payment if your HSA/FSA account allows for massage therapy (this would be outlined as part of each client’s specific HSA/FSA arrangements). The vast majority of health insurance companies in Massachusetts do not contract with massage therapists to provide massage therapy services so I cannot accept health insurance for sessions at this time.
