Session Prep: Please Arrive 10-15 minutes early for your session.

We believe that healing begins at the time that the commitment is made. We see the time that we are planning to spend together as sacred space and in order to signal that to the mind and body, we invite you to be conscious of how you are spending time, energy, and attention in the days leading up to the appointment. We invite you to be conscious of what you are ingesting, both in terms of food and substances as well as the media and social interactions you have prior to this time. This is a great opportunity to give yourself attention and focus on what is needed, so the invitation is to take time and show some extra care for yourself. One suggestion that we have in preparation for this journey would be to allow yourself the time for the self care that is part of your ideal routine. You are worth the investment. Please do not eat for 4 hours prior to your appointment. Liquids are ok up to 2 hours before. You will need to arrange to either be dropped off and picked up at our facility, or get a ride share to and from our space. As part of the treatment agreements, you agree to not drive or operate heavy machinery nor to consume alcohol or other intoxicants in the 24 hours before and after this appointment. We advise that you think ahead and plan to not have any major commitments for the rest of the day after your appointment and if possible the day after as well.

Massage Details:

Before the massage we will do some breathing techniques and guided movements to begin the connection to your body. This will help you to drop into a more receptive state during the session. Feel free to take your time getting off the table post massage. Start by slowly moving your body and gently placing one foot on the ground once ready. Please take it easy physically for the rest of the day. If you feel called to do so, we invite you to do some stretching before bed and after waking in the morning following your session. This will only help to deepen the benefits of the massage.

Intention:

This is the lens, which helps focus the power of this medicine in the direction to best effect healing. For this reason, we invite you to think about and consider your intention for this session. We have sent you some questions to consider in your preparation which will help to set it. An intention which is short and focused, preferably a single sentence, is best. For the day of your session, we recommend that you bring any totems or items which you feel are important or hold sentimental value and are connected with your intention.
