Frequently Asked Questions

Your session begins with a brief intake to discuss your goals, health history, and any concerns. Therapy is tailored to your needs, whether it’s massage, somatics, or movement-based sessions. Expect gentle, hands-on techniques and guidance on posture, breathing, and movement as appropriate.

Massage / Manual Therapy: Comfortable, loose clothing is recommended. Some techniques, like Visceral Manipulation (VM) or other seated modalities, are performed with the client fully clothed, so wearing flexible clothing allows us to work safely and comfortably.

Yes! Many clients benefit from combining manual therapy, somatic movement, and yoga to support mobility, recovery, and overall well-being. Your sessions can be tailored to your specific goals, whether that’s tension release, postural improvement, or athletic performance.
