visit my office

My office is located near downtown Palm Springs at the corner of Tahquitz Canyon Way and El Segundo, next to Koffi.

The premises features covered parking and is within walking distance to restaurants (such as Sherman's Deli, Ruben & Ozzy's, Oscar's Cafe), shops, bars, hotels (I'm between the Hilton and Renaissance), and Regal Cinema movie theatre. Bonus: wine bar next door!

A receptions should be at the desk to greet you Monday through Friday. Saturdays I’ll meet you at the front or text me.

There is a restroom available and I have a bottle of water for you. If you have your own water bottle we have a filter in the break room where you can refill!

Procedures

Prior to your massage or other treatment, I require completion of an intake form, digital completion preferable, which includes some personal information and an insight into your medical history, all confidential. It is extremely important to disclose any vital information in order to avoid exacerbating any previous or current injuries or issues. Sometimes it isn't until you're already on the massage table that you remember something that happened long ago that might be useful information for me to know and it's okay to tell me at that time.

Gathering as much information as possible helps guide how the session will flow. Intention is a large part of the process. The clearer we are about the intention along with open communication the better the results. I’ll also review your intake in person and you can mention anything you may remember during our conversation.

Preparation

I do prefer you arrive in presentable condition. Understandably that can’t alway be the case, especially if you have just arrived from a long flight in from New York or somewhere in Canada and have to wait to check into your AirBnB or hotel.

For massage or myofascial work you disrobe only down to your own comfort level. My product preference is a massage lotion, water dispersible, that will not stain clothing and will leave you feeling moisturized without the greasy feeling.

For craniosacral therapy and reiki treatments, you remain clothed, therefore I recommended wearing something comfortable to lie down in or have something to change into.

In session

Talking during sessions is acceptable. If it feels as if it should be part of your own therapeutic process feel free to speak at any time. I find that it also helps build a trustworthy relationship between client and therapist. After all, you are trusting yourself in the hands of another plus the only thing between us may be a piece of fabric! I do my best to provide a safe environment where you feel at ease.

Furthermore, if you are enjoying the session so much that you want to extend your time, ask! I would be happy to accomodate if it is possible.

Post-session

After your massage or other body treatment, you are encouraged to take your time to get acclimated and sit up slowly. This is especially encouraged after a craniosacral therapy session due to the fact that it is so deeply relaxing that a majority of people can barely think or talk afterward.

Any comments or questions after we complete the treatment are welcome as always.
