FAQs

What can I expect for my first massage?

Please plan to arrive at least 15 min prior to your session. You and I will conduct a thorough health history and customize your session based off of your intake. I will show you to our massage space where you can privately undress to your comfort level.

We start the session with a complimentary essential oil of your choice accompanied with an opening meditation or prayer. Pressure is specified prior to our session and communicated throughout the massage. I tend to start with a lighter pressure working into a firmer, yet comfortable pressure. Our session will end with more aromatherapy and a closing mediation or prayer.

Hot towel services are included in all our sessions as well as a warm corn bag to go behind the neck while face up and an herbal eye pillow to enhance relaxation.

All areas remain draped unless they are being massaged. Gluteal work is done through the sheets and always consented upon before addressing. Breast tissue on both men and women are never exposed.

Is the massage going to hurt?

My approach and philosophy towards body work is that it should never be painful. '“More pain is not more gain.” Some areas maybe more sensitive or tender, depending on what the body has experienced prior to our time together. You should not feel as if you are tensing up, bracing, or not breathing. You may communicate at any point if you are experiencing discomfort or would like me to move to a different area. I pride myself in being intuitive, but that level of open communication is extremely helpful in creating a safe environment and effective massage.

How is Somatic Coaching different than Myofascial Release and Nervous System Regulation Massage?

During a massage session, I hold space for whatever arises, allowing you to notice and process experiences in your own way. In contrast, Somatic Coaching sessions are more interactive. We gently explore and process what comes up together.

For example, someone may come in for a massage with upper shoulder or neck pain that primarily resides on the right side. While our intake may reveal deeper contributing factors, the session typically remains focused on physical relief, without fully exploring or processing those underlying patterns.

In Somatic Coaching, we intentionally “pull at the thread” to understand why that pain is present. Together, we listen to how the body is communicating and create space to process and better understand those messages.

Somatic Coaching sessions may include a blend of techniques such as fascial release, self-inquiry, guided imagery, breathwork, and subconscious reframing to support your awareness and healing. What sets this apart from a standard massage is the inclusion of practitioner guided self-awareness.

How do I book a massage?

You may use my online portal https://www.massagebook.com/biz/jconnected or email an appointment request to jconnected2020@gmail.com

Should I tip my practitioner?

My prices are all inclusive, meaning I do not accept gratuity. Each session is designed with your comfort, peace and embodied healing in mind.

I woke up with a cold today, should I come in?

As tempting as it may be to seek out things that might make you feel better, it would be best to avoid getting a massage. Massages may actually make symptoms worse and run the risk of getting others and myself sick.

What if I am late arriving to my appointment?

If you are late to your appointment (on time would be 10 min prior to your scheduled time) then it will cut into your massage and the session will still end on time. This is to ensure quality and respect for upcoming appointments. There are instructions on appointment confirmation emails on how to reach out to me to let me know you are running late.

What is your cancellation policy?

All sessions require at least a 24 hour cancellation notice via email at jconnected2020@gmail.com. Anything less will be subjected to a cancellation fee up to the full amount of the session.

Can I get a massage if I am pregnant?

Absolutely! Massage therapy can be a wonderful way to bring comfort during the evolving stages of pregnancy. There may be risks during the 1st trimester (3 months), so you must be beyond that point and have a written referral from your current OBGYN. If unable to provide, the massage will need to be rescheduled.

When is it not OK to get a massage?

Massage can have several contraindications. If you have any of these conditions, please consult your physician before scheduling an appointment.
