Each session begins with an assessment, to determine the most effective course for the treatment. Part of this is a postural assessment, where I will put my hand on top of your head, which is something called General Listening. This will guide me to the most problematic area of the body. Then, once in the treatment room, I resume the assessment to get a more detailed picture of what treatment needs to happen. What the treatment looks like is dependent on what comes up in the assessment, but it will likely be an assortment of my treatment modalities described earlier.

Most benefit plans out there cover registered massage therapy treatments, but its always a good idea to get familiar with your plan, as there are so many different ones out there, and the extent of coverage varies. Coverage amounts are usually located under headings titled 'paramedical' or 'supplementary benefits'. Each session you will get a receipt with everything you need to claim for the session.

Unfortunately no, I do not. There are so many plans out there, and they all work differently, so I feel its best to leave that for my patients.

No, you do not need a referral to see me, however some insurance plans require a Dr's referral for reimbursement, so check with your plan.

Each case is different based on the injury/dysfunction. Some people have their issues resolved after 1-3 treatments, while some more complicated cases will require more, potentially long term care. This is also dependent on the patients goals.

My area of expertise is much different than a spa treatment. While still often very relaxing, I have a much different focus. I am very therapeutic in my approach to treatment, and I have a hard time setting my therapeutic mind aside. If hot stone massage with flutes and birds playing in the background is what you're looking for, then I am not the therapist for you.

Typically Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9:30am–5:00pm.

I suggest comfortable clothing; meaning nothing that's too tight or restricting anywhere on the body, such as some tight sports bras. However I may just get you to undress if clothing is in the way of some techniques, so either way it's not too big of a deal. Full coverage underwear is usually a good choice.
