Massage & Bodywork

Booking & payment

Sessions are by appointment only. Booking can be performed by Text, Email, or Online Jane Portal
Payment is due at the start of the session unless you had a valid payment method on file in the Online Jane Portal.
A deposit may be required for new clients and for outcalls. That deposit applies to total cost of the session. It is not an extra fee.
 

Cancellations

Give me at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or move a session. 
Inside 24 hours: $80 late-cancel fee.
No-show, or a cancel after start time: full session fee.
Same-day reschedules are a late cancel unless I have a opening that is suitable.
If I cancel, you are not charged. We rebook.
 

Arrival

The session begins at our scheduled start time. Late arrival shortens the session.
Please be ready when I get there. For in-home work I need a reasonably quiet room, space for a table, and a surface I can set up on. Pets secured. Other people out of the treatment room unless we planned that.
I text when I’m on the way. Please don't have extra guests waiting to “just say hi.”
 

Health and Paperwork

Please fill out the intake before the first session, this can be done through the Online Jane Portal. You will receive an email with links to said documentation.
Tell me about new injuries, conditions, meds, or pain when you book again.
Massage is not medical care. I don’t diagnose, prescribe, or treat medical conditions beyond my scope of practice.
Contagious or flu-sick: message me and we’ll move it. No late fee for that.
I will end or refuse a session if you arrive high or drunk.
18+ only. I may ask for ID.
 

How the session works

You can be anywhere from softly clothed (no jeans, no heavy sweaters) to undressed under the drape. 
Professional draping is the default. Limited draping is available on request, with consent.
Sensual type work here means slower pace, more oil, more full-body attention, and room for the session to feel warm and present — not clinical and rushed. 
Holistic type work here means focused work on your problem areas and the connected systems. Clinical knowledge with a soft touch caring edge. 
You can change pressure, skip an area, or stop at any time. Say it. I won’t be offended.
No photos, video, or recording of me, you, or the room. Phones away once we start.
 

Boundaries

Sexual harassment is bounds to end the Session without refund. 
Discovery of intentionally undisclosed medical issues is bounds to end the Session without refund. 
I can stop a session at any time if the space becomes inhospitable to the treatment by external factors. Partial or Full pay may be incurred based on situation.
You are always allowed to call me a 'Good Boy'. Its part of my community, culture, and bears no additional expectations beyond praise. 
 

Privacy

What you tell me and what happens in session stays private. Medical Charting may require disclosure under law.
I don’t discuss other clients. I expect the same discretion back.
You may Self Identify as a client. I will never disclose this information without expressed agreement by you. 
 

Right to refuse

I can decline or end a session to keep the work clean and the space safe.
