• How early should I arrive for my massage?

  • New clients - Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your massage, this will allow time to discuss your goals for the session and any injuries or surgeries that might be relevant.

  • Returning clients - Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time.
     

• Where is your office?

We have offices located in our HOME in Longmont, and in Boulder at the Marine Street Wellness Center.

​

• Where can I park?

There is plenty of parking available at both of our office spaces. Our Boulder office has a nice sized parking lot, and our Longmont home office offers street parking and you are also welcome to park in the driveway.

 

• What if I have allergies?

Let us know if you have any allergic reactions to anything specific. We use unscented lotion called Biotone Pure Touch Organics. It has a jojoba and shea butter base with sunflower and sesame oil. We wash all linens in unscented detergent.

​

• How many appointments will I need before I know if massage will help me?

We feel that after your first appointment, you should be able to tell that the work we do will be helpful. If we feel like it will be best for you to consult another professional, we have referral information for many excellent providers. We want you to have the best healthcare possible.

 

• How often should I get a massage?

Our goal is to help you feel better so you can focus on enjoying your life. We are happy to see you on an "as needed" basis. Many of our regular massage recipients choose to come in every 2-8 weeks in an effort to be proactive about their health. You can discuss this with your therapist after he/she has a hands-on understanding of your individual needs.

​

• Am I supposed to take my clothes off?

Many of our massage recipients prefer to remove most or all of their clothing. This allows the full range of massage treatment options. The therapist leaves the room while you undress and get under a top sheet and blanket. You remain covered, except for the area being worked on. Some choose to leave their clothes on, and find that we can still do effective work. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and are able to relax. 

​

• What if I can't lay face down?

No problem! We understand that vertigo, pregnancy, neck pain and other conditions may prevent you from lying face down. We are experienced with treating people in face-up and side-lying positions. We also have massage tables that allow us to incline your upper body.

 

• When should I NOT get a massage?

There are a few conditions which would prevent you from enjoying massage. You should not receive a massage if you have a fever, cold/flu, or contagious skin infection. That’s it. There are many other conditions in which your therapist may need to adapt his/her techniques.

 

• What should I do after a massage and how will I feel? 

Most normal activities will be fine, but you should avoid heavy lifting for the day. You may feel tired, but it is best to get some light/moderate exercise if possible. A walk, swim or cardio workout are excellent choices! It is a good idea to drink water, an extra glass or two is sufficient. Pain reduction or increased mobility may be noticed right away, and often continue to improve for the next 24 to 48 hours. You may also be sore for a day or two, similar to doing a new exercise.

​

• Do you work with children?

Yes. Like adults, children are subject to injury, stress and health problems. Their ability to recover is remarkable, but sometimes they need assistance too.
