What to expect on my first visit?
The first visit will involve a 10-minute intake where your history, areas of concern, and goals are discussed. For myofascial therapy sessions, your posture and ranges of motion are also observed and discussed.
How much does a session cost?
Currently all sessions are donation based since I am still a student. Pricing will increase once I receive my certification--yay! Suggested donations are:
• 50 Min: $80+
• 80+ Min: $120+
What should I wear to my appointment?
Please arrive clean and wearing loose fitting clothing (no jeans or shorts please). The ideal clothing for a Shiatsu or Thai massage is lightweight, breathable, and loose. Leggings are discouraged for Shiatsu or Thai, however I can work with them if that’s what you have.
What kind of energy work do you do?
I practice various types of energy work in an effort to help myself and others gain clarity and balance. The intention is always harmony, love, and compassion. The type of energy modality practiced in a session is always dependent on the client, what’s needed, and what I feel naturally guided to do.
Where are you located and where do I park?
Soft Studio is located in South Glendale. Exact address is provided upon appointment confirmation. There is plenty of street parking available, however if you are in need of a very close spot, I am happy to accomodate any requests. Please note there are about 15 stairs to ascend and descend. Should you be unable to climb or go down stairs easily, please let me know and I will do my best to create an easily accessible space for you.
What are trigger points?
Trigger points are more commonly known as “knots.” These are hyperirritable areas located in a tight band of muscle.
How often should I get a massage?
The short answer: as often as you can. Invest in your body, you only have one and it absorbs all of the repetitive motions and stressors we encounter every single day.
Can I contact you if I have questions?
Yes! Please read this entire page first and then reach out via instagram or email. I’ll do my absolute best to get to you as soon as possible.
Do you offer deep tissue massages?
Myofascial therapy is a form of deep tissue massage, so yes, I do offer that! You’ll soon be able to add a deep tissue enhancement to any Swedish massage soon.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please give me at least 48-hours notice if you need to cancel your session. I undestand life happens though and I trust we’re all doing our best :) So just fill me in when you can.
