On the day of your first session, you will arrive and fill out an intake form. Then we will discuss the form and create treatment goals for the day.

What is “massage brain”?

Clients often get so relaxed during a massage that they feel like they’re floating or just waking up once the session has concluded. This also happens frequently at the end of a yoga class because of the final relaxation. Just give yourself a little extra time to come back to “full operation mode.” I always recommend drinking water and a gentle walk before driving. The walk will help the session set into the muscular system more effectively.
