• How much space do you need?

A 5x6 foot space is all that is needed for a chair massage. Onsite massage can fit well into an unused cubicle, break room or a corner of a lobby.

I will bring the massage chair, relaxing music and anything else that I need for the massage. You will not need to worry about providing anything.

Sessions in a corporate setting will be scheduled ahead of time (I will send a schedule prior to the day of the massage, so that employees can plan their day accordingly.)

Onsite massage therapy in a hotel, retail, restaurant or tradeshow setting can either be done first come, first served or scheduled ahead of time, depending on the situation.

Onsite chair massage is done with all clothing on. You may only be asked to take off a jacket or obtrusive jewelry during a massage.

In consideration for those that are sensitive to scent, I do not use any essential oils during massage, with the exception of using peppermint scented lotion on your hands. Please let me know if this is bothersome for you.

No oils are used during the massage, so there is no need to worry about oil stains on clothing. Lotion may be used on the hands if the recipient wishes it.

The massage chair and the practitioner's hands are disinfected and between each client, so there is no need to worry about the spread of germs in the office.

Gratuities are greatly appreciated by the therapist, but not required or expected.

All therapists have received rigorous training in massage therapy techniques, and have also received special training in chair massage. In order to make the massage experience safe for every client, therapists are very knowledgeable about the structure and function of the human body, as well as any contraindications for massage that may be present.

Yes, the therapist carries adequate liability insurance.

Yes, massage has proven to be very beneficial for relieving many pregnancy related discomforts. Please, check with your doctor first and let the massage therapist know that you are pregnant so that they can assure your safety and comfort.
