What does a session look like?
Your initial session begins with a consultation so we can establish a clear plan for meeting your therapeutic needs and goals. Each session includes a brief consultation to set the goals for the session, to review our past work and to see what is current in your life. You receive this bodywork fully clothed, and I do not use massage oil or lotion. Wear something comfortable (you can bring along clothes and change before the session) for lying down on the session table. I may work with you sitting in a chair, and even standing up, to best meet your needs. Bodywork touch takes the form of both general contacts and contacts at specific areas of pain or injury. I often utilize patterns of relationship between different areas of the body, and I will also work indirectly, touching near but not directly at places where you experience symptoms.
Upon arrival you will be offered tea and begin soaking your feet in an aromatic bath. During this time you will complete an intake form, which will be discussed and used to identify our goals. You will lie on a massage table, fully clothed, and I will evaluate your energy field and reflexive points utilizing a hand scan and/or light touch. The environment is soothing, created with appropriate music/sound and gentle lighting. At session end, when you are ready, you will sit up and we will discuss future goals, suggestions to facilitate your healing journey, and questions that may have arisen. Allow 1-2 hours for a session, depending on your desired goals. We can discuss this further during the initial consultation.
