Before your first appointment, we’ll have a brief conversation by phone or message. This is a chance for you to ask questions, share any concerns, and get a sense of whether we’re a good fit. I want you to feel comfortable and informed before you ever step into the space.
You’ll receive a short intake form to complete ahead of time so we can focus on your session—not paperwork.
Just Breathe Massage Therapy is a quiet, private, in-home practice. When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a calm, uncluttered space designed to help you slow down and settle in.
There’s no rush. We’ll take a few minutes to check in, talk about how you’re feeling that day, and adjust the session based on what your body needs right now.
Sessions are customized each time. I use a thoughtful blend of techniques—primarily Swedish-based work, with slower, deeper pressure as appropriate—to support relaxation, ease tension, and help your nervous system downshift.
You are always in control:
·You can ask for more or less pressure at any time
·You can ask questions or request silence
·You can stop or adjust anything during the session
Most clients undress to their comfort level. You will always be professionally draped, and only the area being worked on will be uncovered.
After your session, you’ll have time to re-orient before heading out. Many people describe feeling deeply relaxed, grounded, and a little “floaty”—like their body finally exhaled.
I may offer simple aftercare suggestions, but nothing prescriptive or overwhelming. The goal is for you to leave feeling calmer, more at ease, and connected to your body.
Neither. Just Breathe Massage Therapy is a solo, relationship-based practice. Sessions are unhurried, quiet, and intentionally low-pressure. There’s no upselling, no membership model, and no expectation to book again unless it feels right for you.
That’s completely okay. Many clients come in feeling unsure, especially if it’s their first massage or their first time working with a male therapist. We’ll move at your pace, talk things through beforehand, and check in as needed. Comfort and consent come first.
Wear whatever is comfortable for arriving and leaving. During the massage, most clients undress to their comfort level. You’ll always be fully draped and respected.
Pressure is always collaborative. I generally work with a slower, intentional pressure that allows muscles to soften rather than forcing them to change. We’ll adjust throughout the session based on what feels best for you.
No. Some clients like quiet, others like light conversation. Both are welcome. You can change your mind at any point.
Yes. Many people come specifically for that reason. Massage can be a helpful way to support the nervous system and create a sense of safety and rest—without needing to “do” anything.
That depends on your goals, schedule, and what feels supportive. Some clients come monthly, some seasonally, some just when life feels heavy. There’s no one-size-fits-all recommendation here.
No. Just Breathe Massage Therapy is a private-pay practice. This allows sessions to stay focused, flexible, and relationship-driven rather than documentation-heavy.
That’s okay. Not every therapist is the right fit for every person. My goal is to offer a grounded, respectful experience—whether that leads to ongoing work together or simply one good session.
