Your Questions, Answered

  • Since my current business model is offered through one on one sessions out of my home studio or mobile massage in your own home, I require you to be referred by a trusted LMT colleague, friend, family member, or another current client of mine.

    This is a personal and professional choice to maintain safety for myself and my clients. My screening process is designed to ensure my physical and mental well-being as a Licensed medical professional. If you are not able to maintain professional boundaries while seeking clinical healing via massage therapy, do not schedule an appointment with me.

    When completing the New Client Intake Form, there is a field to provide your source of referral!

    *If you happened to find my services organically without a referral, I do accept clients for massage therapy services through

  • In my own practice at The Heron, I employ a combination of many modalities to curate a holistic approach to your body, mind, and soul’s needs.

    As a Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Virginia, I offer a range of specialized techniques tailored to your body's specific needs:

    • Swedish Massage: Gentle, long strokes designed to improve circulation and promote deep relaxation.

    • Deep Tissue: Focused pressure to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, ideal for chronic aches.

    • Myofascial Release: A specialized technique used to release tension in the fascia, improving mobility and reducing pain.

    • Lymphatic Drainage: Gentle, rhythmic movements intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph system.

    • Prenatal Massage: Specialized care for expectant mothers to reduce stress and alleviate pregnancy-related discomforts.

    • Hot Stone Therapy: Smooth, heated stones used as an extension of the hand to melt away tension (All-Inclusive).

    • Cupping Therapy: The use of suction to decompress tissues, increase blood flow, and speed up recovery (All-Inclusive).

    Continuing Education
    I am committed to my craft and will be gaining in-depth expertise in a variety of new techniques throughout my career. Please check back often, as I will update this list with any newly gained certifications.

  • Please arrive exactly 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.

    Coming at this specific time—no more and no less—ensures we have the necessary space to go over your goals for the session before your treatment begins. This window also allows me to respect the transition time from the previous client and ensures the studio is fully refreshed and ready for you.

    To help us make the most of our time together, please also ensure you have completed your digital intake form at least 24 hours prior to your service.

    Set Your Intention

    I invite you to come to your session with a specific goal in mind. Whether your intent is as simple as deep relaxation and mental reset, or as complex as managing chronic low back pain, having a goal helps me tailor the techniques and tools (like hot stones or cupping) to your specific needs.

    Your Comfort, Your Choice

    While most clients choose to undress completely to receive their massage, please know that this is not a requirement.

    • Traditional Draping: If you choose to undress, you will remain fully and securely draped with a sheet or blanket at all times for your modesty and comfort.

    • Clothed Options: You can still receive a fully restorative and effective massage while wearing comfortable, loose-fitting garments.

    Your sense of safety and ease is the foundation of a successful treatment. I will always work within your boundaries to ensure a positive experience.

  • My main product for smooth massage application directly to the skin, is HobaCare Organic Cold-pressed Jojoba Extract from the Original Jojoba Company.

    This product is hypoallergenic and uniquely compatible with the skin’s natural oil composition.

    Please send me a message if there is a specific product that you would like to bring with you for your session to better support your needs!

  • The best way to reach me is via my contact form, email, or text.

    As a solo practitioner, I am usually in session with a client and unable to answer calls directly. To ensure you receive a timely response without the "phone tag" typical of a busy practice, please use one of the following methods:

    I check messages between sessions and will get back to you as soon as I am out of my current treatment. Thank you for understanding that I do not have a front desk staff and for respecting the quiet space I provide for all my clients.

    The All-Inclusive Experience

    Your self-care should never be limited by "add-on" fees. Every session includes the option of Hot Stones or Cupping at no additional cost. Your treatment is fully customized to what your body needs in the moment, ensuring a premium experience every time you are on the table.

    A Note on Tipping

    Rates are set to reflect the professional quality of each session and the sustainability of my practice. Because of this, gratuity is never required or expected.

    However, if you feel moved to show extra support, tips are gratefully accepted. As a small business owner, I recognize that both business and life come with fluctuating needs, and any additional gesture is seen as a kind investment in my work and my own well-being.

  • Your investment in your well-being is important to me, and I value the time we spend together. To ensure the best experience for everyone, I’ve established the following attendance policy:

    • Cancellations & Rescheduling: If you need to cancel or move your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours' notice to receive a full refund or credit toward a future session.

    • No-Shows & Late Cancellations: Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without contact, will be charged the full price of the service.

    • Emergencies: I understand that genuine emergencies and sudden illnesses happen. In these rare cases, we can discuss rescheduling your session without you forfeiting your investment.

    Thank you for respecting my time and the needs of other clients who may be waiting for an opening.
