sliding scale pricing & accessibility

i believe massage should be accessible, and i offer sliding scale pricing to make that possible. if cost is a barrier, please reach out—i believe in making this work sustainable for both of us.

i do my best to make massage accessible to all bodies and needs. if you know you need accommodations, please let me know in advance so i can plan accordingly.

here are some things i do to improve accessibility in every session:

my table has a weight limit of 550lbs to safely treat bodies of various sizes
i only use scent-free, hypoallergenic products
all conversation is client-led and directed -- sessions are quiet by default, with check-ins for pressure and techniques
affirming bodywork that respects all identities

here are some examples of other accommodations i can make upon request:

bringing extra pillows or bolsters for joint support and comfort
additional coverings for grounding or warmth
trauma-informed modifications, including:
- more frequent check-ins on pressure and comfort
- explicit consent at every step
flexibility around body positioning, with adjustments for mobility, pain, or comfort needs
you can choose the music, or we can have a music-free session

my work is health at every size-aligned, and i treat all bodies with respect. you will never be judged for your size, your body hair, your scars, your gender, or any other part of you.

mobile massage - how does it work?

as a mobile massage therapist, i bring the massage to your doorstep, so you can relax in the comfort of your own space. mobile massage means no worrying about leaving for appointments on time, no stressing about traffic, parking, or public transportation. i bring everything we need for you to have a relaxing and therapeutic massage, and allow your body continue it's healing processes in a familiar, relaxed environment afterwards.

all services are booked for the amount of hands-on time they include—a 75-minute massage means 75 minutes of bodywork, but the full appointment will take longer. i will arrive at your location at the time of the appointment, and the massage will start as soon as i've set up. setting up, completing a thorough & thoughtful consultation, and cleaning up all take time, and i always like to leave space to chat afterward to get your feedback and make your massages even better in the future. please plan for around 15 minutes (in addition to your massage time) at both the start and end of the session.

to the extent that you're able, i recommend you book your session for a time when you can ease into the experience and have a slow, relaxing time afterward—not when you have to rush somewhere, attend a meeting, or take care of any stressful business. this will ensure we have time for everything we need to do during your appointment, and more importantly, it honors your body's natural healing processes, which take time and require rest.

i currently travel to homes, offices, studios, or other locations in bucks county, montgomery county, and philadelphia. if you’re outside these areas and interested in booking, reach out to see if we can make it work. travel fees may be incurred for long distance appointments (over 1 hour drive from chalfont, PA).

what should i wear for my massage?

while most clients choose to undress fully, which allows for the widest range of therapeutic techniques to be performed, you never need to undress past your comfort level. if you prefer to stay clothed, i can modify my techniques to accommodate that. regardless, you will always be appropriately draped — any areas i'm not actively working on will be fully covered with both a sheet and blanket during the massage.

absolutely not. this is a body-positive and judgment-free space. your body is welcome as it is. PS. please don't feel any pressure to shave before appointments — recently shaved skin is going to be more sensitive, and i have no issues whatsoever working on clients with body hair!
