Massage is not one size fits allWhat a studio session can include
Deep tissue, relaxation, postural, rehab and therapeutic massage are all priced the same — you are booking time, not a technique, and we decide together what the session needs.
Deep tissue massage
For relief from severe muscle tension and pain, working on the deeper layers of muscle and fascia.
Learn moreRelaxation massage
Also known as Swedish massage: gentle, flowing strokes for when you want to unwind and destress.
Learn morePostural massage therapy
Looks at how your joints move, not just where you’re tight, to ease the tension from rounded shoulders, forward head posture or restricted mobility.
Learn moreRehab massage therapy
Working through an injury, a complex pain pattern or a return-to-sport goal, with hydrotherapy and exercise prescription alongside the hands-on work.

Studio questions
Drink some water, skip a heavy meal beforehand, and arrive a few minutes early so we can go over your health history and what you’d like from the session. Coming by ferry? Check the schedule on the Getting here page.
Yes. Massage isn’t recommended with some conditions, such as an active infection, a blood clot, severe osteoporosis, or immediately after surgery. If you have a medical concern, check with your doctor before booking, and tell me about it when we start.
The aim is never pain. Some techniques use firm pressure that can feel uncomfortable, so tell me if it’s too much at any point and I’ll adjust.
Tell me about any areas of discomfort, the pressure you like and what you’d like from the session. Then let yourself settle and breathe; I’ll check in with you as we go.
Yes. Let me know when you book and again when we start, and I’ll adjust positioning and techniques so you’re comfortable throughout.
For tension-type headaches, I can work on the neck, shoulders, scalp and jaw, where the tension often builds. If your headaches are new, sudden, severe or different from usual, see your doctor first.
Some soreness for a day or two is common, especially after deeper work or your first massage. Water, gentle movement and light stretching can help. Let me know next time so I can adjust.
Light activity is usually fine straight away. After deeper work, you may want to leave intense exercise for a few hours to a day, depending on how you feel.
Regular sessions let us build on each visit instead of starting over, and keep a plan going between appointments. If you’d like to come regularly, the studio membership lowers the price of every visit.
I accept tips graciously, but they are absolutely not expected.
