Frequently Asked Questions

First sessions can be nerve-racking if you have never had a professional massage before. And even if you have, no two therapists are the same. A session at Winter Tree Massage Therapy all starts with the intake form that is emailed out to you. This lets me know your health history, what medications you may be taking, past and present injuries, and what your reason and goal are for the session. Having this filled out in advance will ensure that when you arrive, we do not take away any hands-on time with paperwork. Once you arrive for your initial visit + consultation appointment we will discuss your session in detail and put a treatment plan together.

In a massage session, I always knock before re-entering the treatment room. You will be draped with sheets and a blanket for the entire session. Only the areas we are working on will be uncovered and at no time will private areas be exposed or worked on. No matter what type of session you come in for your session is all about you and communication is KEY! At any time you are encouraged to speak up if the room is too cold/hot if you prefer a different type of music if the pressure or technique I am applying needs to be adjusted or for any reason, you want to end the session just let me know. This ensures we design the best session possible for YOU and I promise my feelings will not be hurt. I much prefer to adjust your session at the moment

Your massage doesn't have to hurt to be effective. In fact, your recovery time can be extended dramatically if we cross that threshold. Sp please, if you experience any pain or discomfort during our session, please tell me! I'm always happy to stop or modify your treatment to suit your needs.

The simple answer is no. I focus on getting to the root of any chronic pain or discomfort. Wherever that might present itself in your body.

I use a combination of Biotone Massage Creme (https://biotone.com/massage-products/creme/dual-purpose-massage-creme)  for the body and feet and will use Grapeseed oil for hot stone work.

Comfort First... I've worked with clients who are in the nude to fully clothed and everywhere in between. I will work with you to accommodate any needs you may have regarding draping and body positioning to ensure you always feel safe and secure.

If you get sick, please contact me to reschedule your appointment - especially if you are experiencing body aches or you suspect a fever. Your treatment will be safer and more enjoyable once you feel better. Please note there is a 24-hour cancellation policy in effect.
