Services
Sessions may include energy healing, traditional Swedish or lomi-lomi-style massage, treatment massage, lymphatic massage, breath-work, visualization, guided somatic awareness, wellness education & other modalities, as determined by your needs and goals.

I listen carefully to your needs and intentions. Thus each session is uniquely balanced to support and amplify your own-self-healing. This spirit of teamwork is something I truly value.

While my focus is on healing and personal growth, I also love providing my clients with a beautiful environment and a variety of small, luxurious amenities that support wellness.

Rates
My rates are as follows:

• 60-minute "Express" appointments -- $70
  I'll get you in and out the door in 60 minutes. This is perfect for people who are on a tight time schedule, have one well-defined goal or intention, and have little need for discussion of issues.
• 75-minute "Standard" appointments -- $85
  This session allows a little more time for a longer treatment, use of more than one treatment method, teaching of self-care, or discussion of issues.
• 90-minute appointments -- $100
  This session allows for longer treatment, more treatment methods, more discussion of issues, and/or more teaching of self-care methods.

The time required for lymphatic massage will vary depending on your goals.

Insurance Billing
I do not bill insurance companies directly. However, I am happy to provide you with charts, billing information, etc. for you to bill your insurance company yourself. I know that clients have had success with getting reimbursement from Regence/Blue Shield. Fees for copying and administrative time may apply.

Hours
I generally schedule appointments from Tuesday through Thursday, with my first appointment at 8:30 a.m. and my last at 5 p.m. Please call me at 253-686-1214 for an appointment.

Scheduling and Changing Appointments
Please schedule and change appointments by telephone at 253-686-1214. I may not receive email messages in a timely way. (I require 48 hours notice of cancellation or I must charge you the full amount for your appointment.)

Descriptions of Possible Sessions
Following are some descriptions of possible sessions:

• Pain Relief
  Pain relief sessions usually include energy healing, gentle bodywork, treatment massage, guided muscle release, and breath-work. Trigger point massage can also address stubborn muscular pain that has eluded effective treatment. I provide self-care suggestions for lasting relief.

• Creativity Support
  To support a client's creative work, I usually combine energy work, bodywork focusing on activating the parasympathetic nervous system, & brain wave entrainment to encourage creative, divergent thinking. (After receiving this treatment, one client wrote furiously for a couple of days, making major revisions to her novel.)

• Therapeutic Relaxation & Stress Management
  Relaxing deeply is one of the best things you can do for your health. Sessions geared toward deep relaxation usually combine energy healing, bodywork, breath-work, and aromatherapy.

• Post-Operative Healing
  Post-operative healing sessions can begin when your physician gives the go-ahead. I usually focus on lymphatic facilitation and energy healing. I recommend a pre-operation session as well. Clients who have done this have reported remarkably quick recovery from surgery and minimal or reduced pain.

• Facial Radiance
  As an alternative to full bodywork, sessions can focus just on the face & head. Combining massage, lymphatic facilitation, & acupressure, a facial session supports overall health as well as natural facial beauty by relaxing the face & body, detoxifying & nourishing the skin, diminishing signs of fatigue & stress, & facilitating subtle energy flow.

• Headache Relief
  A session to relieve or prevent a headache can include energy healing to relieve pain; general massage to relax; focused bodywork on the neck, shoulders, & face; lymphatic facilitation; & acupressure. Clients who come in with a headache almost always leave without it.

• Injury Treatment
  Injuries (sports, motor vehicle, etc.) can be safely treated with energy work and lymphatic facilitation soon after they occur to accelerate healing. Ongoing treatment for injuries can include many types of treatment massage techniques. Trigger point work can be remarkable for relieving stubborn post-injury pain.

• Immune System Support
  A lymphatic facilitation treatment can help boost a sluggish immune system. This relaxing, feather-light technique stimulates lymph flow & activates the parasympathetic nervous system to accelerate healing, improve circulation, detoxify, & reduce inflammation. Energy work is also often indicated when there has been a pattern of illness.

• Workday Stress Management
  If you are at work & facing a deadline, I can perform a short, focused "clothes-on" treatment, combining bodywork & acupressure to relieve stress, turning off your "fight, flight, or freeze" response so that you can get back to work with renewed productivity & creativity.

• Support for Life Transitions & Challenges/Support for Clarity, Insight, & Personal Growth
  Sessions geared toward personal growth issues usually center on energy healing, but can incorporate bodywork if it is useful for the individual client.
