MASSAGE THERAPY QUESTIONS

---

Yes. I offer mobile massage in Arlington, Mansfield, Grand Prairie, Kennedale, Midlothian, Crowley & Burleson areas.

To requests mobile massage services, text me at 817-797-0773. Your appointment will not be confirmed if you book via the website before contacting me.

You will need a clean, pet-free, air-conditioned area inside your home to receive mobile massage services. If you live in a two story home, the massage space must be on the first floor. 

I will bring the massage table, linens, lotions, oils, bolsters, cupping supplies and music. 

*Hot Stones are reserved for in-studio appointments only. 

The state of Texas requires a Client Intake Form to be completed before your first session. Afterwards, I will review the intake form, ask you general questions to establish what areas and/or conditions you would like to be addressed. Certain physical assessments and testing may be performed to evaluate your condition.

Health concerns, allergies and medications must be listed on the intake form so that the session can be adjusted to your specific needs without doing any harm.

Yes. If you don’t shower the day of your massage, there will be buildup of dirt, sweat, and dead skin cells that will be mixed with lotion on your body and transferred onto the sheets. You will see this when you get up, so please come to your appointments clean and free of fragranced personal care products. It’s the respectful thing to do! 

New clients should arrive 10 minutes prior to their massage to fill out the Client Intake Form. Returning clients should arrive 5 minutes prior to their session.

Most clients get completely undressed to receive optimal benefits of the session. Ultimately, you should undress to the level you are comfortable with. I will step out of the room to give you privacy to undress and get comfortable on the table.

In the state of Texas, draping is mandatory — No Exceptions. 

During the massage, I will only uncover the part of your body that is being worked on. 

Some clients talk during sessions and some don’t. Some may feel more relaxed starting off talking, and as the massage progresses, enter quiet states of relaxation. Each massage appointment can be different based on how you are feeling that day. 

I highly encourage what I call therapy communication. Please tell me when you’re uncomfortable, need more or less pressure, if you are cold or hot, need to blow your nose, need a drink, need to go to the bathroom, etc. If something is not working for you, it is okay to speak up!

How often you receive a massage is based on your physical conditions and needs. For occasional relaxation, a session every 3-6 weeks may be fine for you. If you are looking to address a specific and/or chronic condition, I recommend starting off by coming more frequently at first, then adjusting your sessions to a maintenance schedule. 

Certain conditions are “contraindicated“ or a reason for a person not to receive a particular treatment because it may be harmful.

Do not book a massage when:

• you have a fever, cold/flu, or contagious skin infections
• you are in the first trimester of pregnancy
• active chemotherapy or other intensive medical treatments
• you have a serious medical condition and you are unsure if a massage would be safe for you

Please speak with your doctor first to get approval and written consent!

Massage sessions can be adapted or altered for conditions such as broken bones, sprains, cuts, burns, arthritis —I would avoid working on these areas.

No. Only FSA or HSA insurance credit cards are accepted.

All nail services are provided at my studio in SW Arlington. If you are elderly, in palliative care, or in hospice, mobile nail services may be available to you. Please contact me directly to discuss your service needs.

A dry manicure/pedicure is when the service is performed without soaking your hands/feet in water. An e-file is used, along with high-quality diamond bits and diabetic safe products to gently exfoliate dead skin cells on nails and the soles of the feet.

Most salon guests are use to receiving their pedicures wet, where the nail technician soaks the feet in a bowl of warm water at the beginning of the service to soften the skin and cuticles. When skin is exposed and soaked in water, it can become translucent and the cuticles will expand, which means more skin may be removed than necessary.   

More Benefits of Dry Manicures/Pedicures: 

• Prolongs longevity of polish/gel

• Less risk of bacterial infection  

• Cutting down water consumption

• Your pedicure can last up to 4 weeks. It is not recommended to wait longer than 4 weeks for a follow up appointment. Any service past 4 weeks will be considered a Recovery Pedicure.
• Manicure services can last a few weeks, depending on your at-home care. It is recommended to come in for maintenance every 2-3 weeks.
