FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I book my first appointment?
Schedule your first session here. Or contact me at 484-430-1795. Please note, my practice focuses on the gentler holistic modalities and education.
Do I have to fill out the intake form?
Yes, and please be as honest as you can. Many health issues and medicines can be contraindicated for touch therapy or virtual sessions. (For example, fevers, some skin infections, right after major surgery, or Deep Vein Thrombosis would be contraindications.) If you are uncertain, please contact me. Also, the intake form is encrypted and only I can see the information. Please list all recent surgeries, injuries, health issues, and medications. And please read and sign the final policies and waiver page prior to your first appointment.
Can I just book a massage? Bodywork or massage, like Swedish Massage, is a wonderful modality and I am a licensed massage therapist. However, I no longer offer massage sessions. Many of my clients refer to me as their massage therapist and speak of their positive experiences so many are confused on why they can’t book just a massage appointment.
Do you accept gratuity?
I no longer accept gratuities. My goal is to provide alternative healthcare. If you would like to leave a review or testimonial, I’d be eternally grateful.
Cancellation Policy:
Please note that there is a required 24-hour advanced notice for any cancellation. Any cancellations within less than 24 hours will incur full payment of appointment.
For In-Person appointments:
Where are you located?
107 Forrest Ave in Narberth. The entrance is to the right of the building down an alleyway. Enter the middle glass door. My office is located on the 2nd floor. Office #14.
Is there parking?
My personal parking space is now available - The last one on the left in front of my office in the alleyway by the oil tank. PLEASE NOTE - many people disregard the reserve parking signs and often park in these spaces. Always leave time to find alternative parking just in case.
When should I arrive?
Please try to arrive on-time. This is the time we can go over any specifics so we can start the session on time.
Do I have to undress completely?
For most sessions you won’t need to undress at all. If the treatment calls for more focused bodywork, usually only partial undressing is needed. For any undressed or partially undressed clients, draping is required by law by the state of Pennsylvania.
**Any inappropriate behavior will cease the session and no refund will be offered.
Why should I drink water after a session?
Touch therapy encourages metabolic waste removal from muscles and the water helps to flush it out. Also, it is best to avoid caffeine and alcohol after bodywork as they dehydrate the tissues.
Why am I so tired after the session?
The session relaxes the nervous system to go into parasympathetic mode (rest and digest). So many are in constant sympathetic mode (flight-fight) and our minds and bodies become used to that state which causes inflammation and tension in the body. Touch therapy reduces the stress and tension both mentally and physically and helps stop the production of cortisol (stress hormone) and increases Oxytocin, a hormone that relaxes you.
