Each client is unique and honored for your needs at the time of your massage. The pressure used in a bodywork session should always be within your comfort zone. Too much pressure used at the wrong time and location can result in the body “protecting against” the outside force and a reflexive tightening of muscles could result. It is especially helpful to know your prior experience(s) with massage (what worked for you and what was not effective). I take a brief medical history to be sure there are no reasons why you should not receive a massage.  All clients are draped during the massage; please let me know if you have particular concerns about clothing or draping.  Prior to each session your therapeutic goals will be reviewed.  My massage focus is on therapeutic and relaxation techniques; a sensual massage is never offered.
