FAQs
What areas do you serve?
I’m based in Concord and currently serve the surrounding areas, including Concord, Kannapolis, Harrisburg, Huntersville, and parts of Charlotte.
Travel is included within 20 miles of Concord. If you’re located outside of this area, feel free to reach out and I’m happy to check availability and discuss a possible travel fee.
I also offer limited availability in the Asheville area a couple of times each month by request. If you’re located there, you’re welcome to contact me to coordinate scheduling.

How does in-home massage work?
2
Creating a calm, supportive environment is part of the experience. Before booking your bodywork session, we will have either a virtual or in-person consultation at your home to go over health history, discuss your wellness goals, and ensure the space is suitable for massage.
Please have a space available large enough for a massage table, with room to move comfortably around it. A quiet, clean, and safe setting allows you to fully relax and receive. For accessibility, sessions must be located on the main floor or accessible by elevator. I’m unable to carry equipment up full flights of stairs. A few porch or entry steps are absolutely okay.
On the day of your session, I will arrive 15-20 minutes before your scheduled time to get set up. Everything is provided, including linens and music, you don’t need to supply anything but a calm space.
How is your approach different from a traditional massage?

My work blends therapeutic massage with a somatic (body-aware) approach.
That means I’m not just addressing muscle tension, I’m also supporting your nervous system. This can look like a slower, more intentional pace, following your body’s cues, and allowing space for your system to settle. Rather than using a routine, each session is guided by what your body needs that day.
The goal isn’t to force change, but to create the conditions for your body to release tension, regulate, and restore in a way that feels natural and lasting.
What can I expect during my session?

Before we begin
We’ll briefly discuss how you’re feeling, your goals for the session, and any areas of focus or avoidance. You can also share pressure preferences, injuries, or anything else helpful for your care.
Getting settled
You’ll have privacy to get comfortable on the table at your own pace. You are always professionally draped, with only the area being worked on uncovered.
During your session
Your massage is customized using a blend of techniques based on what your body needs that day. Pressure, pace, and focus areas can be adjusted at any time—just communicate what feels best for you. You’re welcome to relax quietly, talk, or rest.
After your session
You’ll have time to get up slowly and comfortably. We’ll do a brief check-in, and I can offer simple recommendations if helpful, such as stretches or hydration.
Most importantly, your comfort, safety, and boundaries are always respected, and you remain in control of your session at all times.
During your massage, you will be professionally draped at all times, only the area being worked on is exposed. Most clients choose to completely undress while others prefer to keep some clothing on, such as underwear - and that is always respected.
If you’re ever unsure, you are welcome to ask. Your comfort and sense of safety are my top priority and we will always move at a pace that feels right for you.

What should I wear?
Can I talk during my session?
6
You are welcome to talk as much or as little as you like. Rather than initiating any conversation, I will follow your lead. If you prefer to relax into silence, I will hold that space for you. And if talking helps you feel more comfortable then I am happy to be present with you in that, as well.
Many clients find that as their body begins to unwind, they naturally settle into a quieter state, but there is no expectation either way. This time is yours.

What if I’m nervous or new to massage?
That’s completely okay!
You won’t be rushed, judged, or expected to “know what to do.” I will guide you through the process and check in as needed so you can feel comfortable every step of the way. If you have any questions about how I can best accommodate you, please contact me HERE.
