Frequently-Asked Questions
Can you list some conditions that you can treat that I am not aware of?
Sure. I can treat chest congestion and allergies. Massage therapy can alleviate symptoms and reduce functional impairment in cases of scoliosis and multiple sclerosis. It is known to help enhance immunity, reduce abnormal blood cell counts, increase fertility, and alleviate constipation, diarrhea, nausea, smoking cravings, PMS, and depression.
I am a bit intimidated by Asian Medicine...
This whole "new age" genre is foreign to me...
Asian Medicine has been in existence since 2500 BCE and has since helped countless numbers of people. Asian doctors typically study this as part of their curriculum, and it is used as a complement to Western medicine.
How soon will I see results?
Many people come to a massage therapist and expect that a problem can be solved in a single session.
You will not necessarily see your problem alleviated right away. The treatments have a cumulative effect so that each session helps.

Do massage treatments help everyone?
In my experience, massage and/or reflexology has worked for many complaints, but beware when someone promises or guarantees that your problem will disappear after treatment. I will try my best to treat your problem area based on my training and abilities, but I cannot guarantee that your problem will disappear.
I realize that you understand what you are doing during the treatment, but I might not understand what you are doing. What if I have more questions?
I am careful to explain the various parts of the treatment, so that you feel comfortable and not "in the dark". Feel free to ask questions as soon as they come up.
