Here's How I Am Different Than Other Massage Therapists
Motivation - I am philanthropic in nature and provide low cost (not low value) service to help people in need. I am not attempting to make a living from my services as I have other sources of income. My costs are low to ensure as many people as possible can experience the benefits of massage and I don’t want cost to be a determining factor in who can receive my services. A significant portion of my practice is performing pro-bono sessions to members of various support groups. This is one of the ways I give back to the community.
Convenience - I come to you: I provide mobile services to your choice of location with day, evening and weekend hours available. No more commuting, fighting with traffic and hurrying to make the appointment time. At session end, you no longer have to get dressed and commute back home, rather you can remain in your residence and truly maximize the relation experience.
Experience -- I bring experience at working and teaching (academics) at a massage school and have written a CE course. My undergrad degree is in Biology so I know how to maximize the benefits of a massage. While all massages and massage therapists are different, I incorporate some unique stretching and discuss how improper stretching can actually hurt you and, if desired, will educate you on the human body and explain why I use certain techniques. I will discuss areas called "endangerment sites" which require caution in preventing blood clots and nerve damage. These are things you will not experience with others. My sessions are about Bodywork - Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, Myo-fascia Release, Trigger Point (if identified), and combined with the stretching are designed to provide you with a safe and relaxing escape from the daily challenges you may be facing.
Free Add-ons - Aside from my heavily discounted rates, I don't nickle and dime you with additional add-on costs. With me you get:
- No travel fees (within a reasonable distance)
- I'm not in any hurry to touch you immediately to "start the clock"
- Sessions last a FULL 60 minutes (not 50) and typically last longer (on me)
- Free aroma therapy
- Free hot towels at session end (client provided microwave)
- Free dry-exfoliation if requested
While some therapists may offer one or two of my offerings, it is highly unlikely that any will match me across the board in all that I offer.
