What To Expect at Your Session
Preliminary Intake
- Prior to your appointment you will be e-mailed a brief digital patient information form and and waiver to complete. Please fill out prior to your appointment time so that the therapist has time to review your information. These documents will remain confidential.
- At the beginning of your appointment, your therapist will ask preliminary questions to gain an understanding of your overall health and wellness goals.
Privacy
- If receiving a CranioSacral or Reiki session, you will remain clothed. Wearing comfortable clothing that you can easily move in is optimal. Pants or shorts are preferred over dresses or skirts when receiving CranioSacral Therapy.
- If receiving massage, you’ll be asked to remove clothing and jewelry except for wedding rings and lower under garments. Your therapist will leave the room while you undress. After undressing, please lie face down, under the linens, with your head in the face cradle. If this level of undress is beyond your comfort level, please discuss with your therapist so accommodations can be made. Your therapist is well-versed with linen draping to allow for modesty during your session.
Environment
- Music may be played and lights will be dimmed. If you find music distracting, feel free to ask your therapist to turn it off or change volume.
- An essential oil diffuser may be used. Please inform your therapist if you have any allergies that might impact the use of this product.
- Throughout your appointment, your therapist will check in with you to ask opinion on comfort level and pressure if receiving massage. Your therapist’s goal is to make your experience a positive one. If you’re uncomfortable at any time, please make your therapist aware.
Massage Therapy Session
- Organic almond oil or massage lotion is used during sessions. If you have allergy issues that pertain to such products, please make your therapist aware.
- Depending on assessment, your therapist will work either the full body (except private areas) or just specific areas that need addressing, such as especially tight muscles.
- After your session, your therapist will leave the room and allow you to slowly get up and get dressed in privacy. When finished dressing, please return to the waiting area.
After the session, your therapist will collect payment. Tips are appreciated to recognize outstanding service, but not required.
Follow Up
- The benefits of bodywork are cumulative. Please work with your therapist to create a plan to meet your health and wellness needs.
- Payment is due at time of service. Cash, personal check, or card are accepted.
