Accessibility & Policies

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let me know at least 24 hours before your appointment to avoid being charged. I reserve the right to charge for missed appointments or cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice, but I will not charge if you need to cancel due to illness.

• Suite 230 is located on the second floor of the Tip Top Building, and there is an elevator around the corner. The building and the suite are fully accessible. Please note that the Tip Top is a historic building and the floors are uneven in places. 

• In certain situations I may be able to make a house call, so please call or email me so we can talk about this.

• The massage table is at a fixed height (approximately 2’3” from the ground). There is a step stool (weight limit 300 pounds) to help you get onto the table if you need it. 

• The massage table is 30" wide. I have arm rests that can be added to the table, making it 39" across at the shoulders / arms.

• The massage table can safely hold 350 pounds. 

Massage is not advised if you have certain medical conditions including:

• Current allergic reaction, bronchitis, infectious disease

• A flare-up of a chronic condition or an acute infection 

• Blood clots, embolism, deep vein thrombosis 

• Certain other cardiovascular conditions 

• Concussion and certain bone conditions 

• If you are pregnant, please make an appointment with one of my colleagues in the area who is trained in prenatal massage.

I take hygiene seriously, and prioritize keeping clients safe and healthy. 

• Please reschedule if you have a cold, flu, COVID, fever, vomiting or diarrhea, or anything that is contagious through the air or through surface / skin contact. 

• A cold sore, athletes foot or similar small localized infection is NOT a reason to reschedule! Please let me know though, so I can take extra precautions for myself and clients following you.

• See COVID precautions below. 

Once you schedule your appointment, I will ask you to please fill out a health intake form that I will review before your massage.

I want to protect and be conscious of immuno-compromised people and recognize that COVID is widespread and there are many people trying hard to avoid getting it. 

• One of my acupuncturist colleagues works with many immuno-compromised clients and requires that people mask in the suite waiting room and bathroom to protect everyone. 

• I currently wear an N95 mask during sessions, as of winter 2024. I have a HEPA air filter running in the room. 

• I can supply you with a KN95 mask if you would like one, but don't require you wear a mask in the massage office. 

• Please reschedule your appointment if you have reason to think you have COVID.
