Where are you holding it?
Point to it — most people can. These are the places tension settles for almost everyone, what it tends to feel like, and what we would book for it.
Client intake
Mark where it hurts
-
Neck and base of the skull
Headaches that start at the back and creep forward. Checking your blind spot hurts.
What to book: Deep tissue, 60 minutes
-
Tops of the shoulders
Shoulders up by your ears by 3 pm. The laptop, the steering wheel, the baby carrier.
What to book: Relaxation or hot stone
-
Between the shoulder blades
The knot you can't reach, that you can point to but never quite press.
What to book: Deep tissue, 90 minutes
-
Lower back
Stiff getting out of the car, better once you're moving, worse again by evening.
What to book: Deep tissue or prenatal
-
Hips and glutes
Tight after a long run or a long sit. Sometimes it shows up as a sore knee instead.
What to book: Sports and recovery
Priced by the hour you need.
Every session is one therapist, one room, and the full time on the table — undressing and talking happen outside the clock. Most people start with sixty minutes.
-
Relaxation massage
Long, slow Swedish strokes with light to medium pressure. For when nothing hurts exactly — you're just wound tight and sleeping badly.
Best for: Stress, poor sleep, a first massage
- 60 minutes
- $95
- 90 minutes
- $135
-
Deep tissue
Slow, firm work into the layers under the surface, with forearms and elbows where they help. Focused on two or three areas rather than everything.
Best for: Desk necks, stubborn knots, lower back
- 60 minutes
- $110
- 90 minutes
- $155
-
Sports and recovery
Stretching, compression, and targeted work on the muscles your sport leans on. Book it two days after a race, or a week before one.
Best for: Runners, climbers, lifters, cyclists
- 60 minutes
- $110
- 90 minutes
- $155
-
Hot stone
Warm basalt stones glide with the oil and rest along the spine, so muscles let go before any pressure arrives. Slow and heavy in the best way.
Best for: Cold hands, winter shoulders, deep rest
- 60 minutes
- $120
- 90 minutes
- $165

Licensed massage therapist (LMT #MA-40218), 11 years in practice
Your first hour, minute by minute.
Nobody should have to guess what happens behind the door. Here is the whole of a first session — booked with me, in my room, at my pace, which is slow.
-
0:00
Arrive, shoes off, a glass of water
Come ten minutes early. There's a short health form — injuries, medication, anything that's bothering you this week.
-
0:10
Five minutes of talking first
Nora asks where it hurts, what you do all day, and how much pressure you like. You can change your mind on the table.
-
0:15
On the table, under a warm sheet
Undress to your comfort. Only the area being worked on is ever uncovered. Talk or don't — both are normal.
-
1:15
Slow up, and one thing to take home
Water, a minute to sit, and one stretch for whatever was tightest. Rebook if you like; there's no pressure to.
I came in for my neck and she found the knot in my shoulder blade that's been causing it for three years. First night in months I didn't wake up with a headache.
The questions people are shy to ask.
Ask them anyway — by phone, by email, or on the table. There are no strange questions in this room.
How much should I undress?
Whatever you're comfortable with. Most people keep their underwear on; some keep more. You're under a sheet the whole time, and only the area being worked on is uncovered.
Is deep tissue supposed to hurt?
It can feel intense, but it shouldn't make you hold your breath or tense up — that works against it. Say so and the pressure changes straight away. Some soreness the next day is normal; bruising isn't.
Sixty or ninety minutes?
Sixty is right for a full-body relaxation massage or one problem area. Choose ninety if you want the whole body and focused work on a trouble spot, or if it's your first deep tissue session.
Can I come if I'm pregnant or injured?
Yes to both, usually. Prenatal massage is from the second trimester. For a recent injury or surgery, bring your doctor's go-ahead and we'll plan the session around it.
Do you take insurance?
We don't bill insurers directly, but we give you an itemized receipt to claim with, and HSA and FSA cards work at checkout.
