Reservations, Booking Policies & FAQ’s
New Clients ~ Please Schedule a complimentary 10–15 minute phone consultation before your first appointment. This allows us to discuss your health history, goals, and any questions you may have so I can thoughtfully tailor your treatment to your individual needs. Every session is designed as a personalized experience—not a one-size-fits-all treatment—and I value building meaningful professional relationships with each client from the very beginning.

A clean, quiet area measuring at least 5' × 9' for the treatment table and enough room for me to move comfortably around it.

If staying at a hotel or resort, please arrange any required parking passes or access information in advance. Any parking fees incurred will be added to your service total.
I will arrive approximately 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to allow time for setup.
Please let me know before your appointment if there have been any changes to your health, recent surgeries, medications, or your surgeon's post-operative instructions.

Every surgical recovery is unique, and treatment recommendations vary based on your procedure, your surgeon's protocol, and how your body heals.
General guidelines include:
Before surgery: One treatment 48–72 hours before surgery may help optimize healthy lymphatic function.
After surgery: Many clients begin treatment within 24–72 hours after surgery with their surgeon's approval.
During the early recovery phase, treatments are commonly scheduled 1–3 times per week, gradually decreasing as swelling improves.
A commonly used guideline among post-operative lymphatic practitioners is approximately 1–2 Manual Lymphatic Drainage sessions for every liter of fat removed during liposuction. Individual needs vary considerably depending on healing, fibrosis risk, and your surgeon's recommendations.

-
What type of massage do you provide?
Every massage is customized to your individual needs. Depending on your goals, your treatment may incorporate Swedish massage, deep tissue techniques, myofascial release, stretching, cupping, hot towels, hot stones, aromatherapy, CBD, or other therapeutic modalities.
Will deep tissue massage hurt?
Not necessarily. Effective therapeutic massage doesn't require excessive pressure. Treatments are always adjusted to your comfort level and goals.
How often should I receive massage?
Some clients benefit from monthly wellness sessions, while others recovering from injury or managing chronic pain may benefit from more frequent treatments.
-
What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
MLD is a gentle, rhythmic treatment that encourages the natural movement of lymphatic fluid, helping reduce swelling, support healing, and promote relaxation.
Does MLD hurt?
No. MLD uses very light pressure and should never be painful.
Why isn't oil used during MLD?
Traditional Manual Lymphatic Drainage is performed directly on the skin without oils or lotions to allow the gentle skin-stretching technique to effectively engage the superficial lymphatic vessels.
Can MLD help after surgery?
Yes. Many surgeons recommend Manual Lymphatic Drainage to help manage post-operative swelling and support recovery. Treatment timing should always follow your surgeon's recommendations.
-
How is Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage different from MLD?
Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage uses slightly firmer pressure and massage techniques while still supporting healthy lymphatic flow. Many clients enjoy the temporary sculpting effect created by reducing fluid retention.
Will Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage help me lose weight?
No. The treatment does not reduce body fat. Any visible contouring is temporary and related to fluid movement rather than fat loss.
Is Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage appropriate immediately after surgery?
Not usually. Most post-operative clients begin with traditional MLD. Brazilian techniques are generally introduced once tissues have healed and your surgeon has provided clearance.
-
When can scar therapy begin?
Scar therapy typically begins after your incision has fully closed and you've received medical clearance. The exact timing depends on your procedure and healing progress.
What is fibrosis?
Fibrosis is an overproduction of collagen that can occur during healing, creating firm or restricted areas beneath the skin. Early intervention may help improve tissue mobility and comfort.
Can older scars still benefit from treatment?
Often, yes. Even scars that are months or years old may respond to manual therapy by improving tissue mobility and reducing feelings of tightness or restriction.
What techniques are used?
Treatments may include myofascial release, cross-fiber mobilization, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Dolphin Neurostim® microcurrent therapy, silicone scar therapy, cupping, kinesiology taping, and other techniques appropriate to your stage of healing.
-
What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle hands-on approach that supports your body's innate capacity for healing by encouraging balance within the nervous system and connective tissues.
What does a session feel like?
Sessions take place in a quiet, peaceful environment with no music or external distractions, allowing your nervous system the opportunity to settle and unwind. You'll remain fully clothed, and blankets and supportive bolsters are provided to ensure you're comfortable throughout the session.
Many clients experience profound relaxation and may even drift off to sleep. Others notice subtle sensations such as warmth, gentle movement, tingling, emotional release, or periods of deep stillness. Every experience is unique. Some clients leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded immediately, while others notice subtle shifts unfolding over the hours or days that follow.
Why is the session done in silence?
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy invites the nervous system into a state of deep rest and awareness. A quiet environment minimizes external stimulation, allowing both practitioner and client to attune to the body's subtle rhythms and innate healing processes. While conversation is always welcome when needed, many clients find the silence to be one of the most restorative aspects of the session.
Is Craniosacral Therapy painful?
No. The work is exceptionally gentle and is performed using light, sustained contact.
What conditions may benefit?
Clients commonly seek Craniosacral Therapy for stress, anxiety, headaches, jaw tension (TMJ), chronic pain, nervous system dysregulation, post-concussion support, trauma recovery, and general wellness.
