JENNY DOES NOT ASK FOR ADDITIONAL GRATUITY --
RATES ARE ALL INCLUSIVE
*Please note that I accept cash, check or pre-paid Venmo for services. Payment by credit card is not accepted. Also, i do not accept insurance as payment.
*There are many contra-indications to massage. Please re-schedule your appointment if you are feeling ill in any way, have a rash or broken areas of skin, or a health issue of any kind. If you are under a doctors care, for any reason, please get their written permission and restrictions, and send it to Jenny while making your massage appointment. This written permission should include your doctors phone number so that Jenny can follow up and make sure that there will be 'no harm done' through proper massage therapy.
*Jenny does offer services to youth (under 18) with parental permission and attendance. Parents will be asked to stay on premesis during the service, as well as sign giving permission. Massage has so many benefits to growing youth, youth in sports and youth suffering from neck/upper back pain and dysfunciton. These appointments are normally 30 minutes, rather than the full hour, and are offered at $65, however there are exceptions that may be able to take a full hour appointment.
SERICES OFFERED:
___________________________________________
1. DEEP TISSUE/THERAPEUTIC/MEDICAL MASSAGE, 50-60 MINUTES=$130
This is a 50-60 minute appointment that specifically targets areas of pain and dysfunction (for example, to treat tension headaches, areas of work could be neck, upper back, face and scalp). This is NOT a full body massage appointment.
Deep Tissue Massage is a technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through specific strokes or pressure on the constricted areas, either following or going across the fibers of the muscles, tendons and fascia. Therapeutic massage usually focuses on more specific areas rather than full body and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage, leaving the client feeling better than ever within a day or two. Stretching and/or movement may be combined for maximum results and benefits. Medical massage techniques may be used to assess and treat those areas of dysfunction causing the pain. Often, a goal during this massage, is to get healthy circulation back into the area of pain and dysfunction. Again, please note, this may not be a full body massage, but rather focused on the areas causing the pain and dysfunction. I would also like any potential clients to understand that proper therapeutic massage does not automatically mean EXTREMELY DEEP pressure. There really is no reason to damage the soft tissue and potentially create MORE pain and dysfunction from over-using pressure and/or static pressure during a massage.
Clients may want to consider epsom salt soaks, proper stretching/movement, and hydration post therapeutic massage in order to continue with their goals. Therapeutic massage will need to be repeated in order to benefit fully from it. One appointment may not be enought to reach the goals that you have for the session.
2. SWEDISH RELAXATION EXPERIENCE, 90-100 MINUTES=$200
EACH 90 MINUTE RELAXATION EXPERIENCE APPOINTMENT COMES WITH SEVERAL MULTI-SENSORY EXPERIENCES:
Swedish Massage is a great massage for relaxation, to assist in potentially reducing the feelings of stress and anxiety. It may induce sleep, or improved sleep. It involves long, fluid strokes of muscles and tissues with pressure that varies from light to medium. There is no firm pressure in this massage. This is not a specific area type of work, but rather a full body modality for those wanting a more superficial and wonderfully relaxing experience. Relaxation is undervalued in the massage industry. People tend to come to massage therapists to "fix pain and dysfunction", and that's totally fine and recommended, however Swedish massage certainly has its place, too. I know that i feel so much better when i receive a "correct" Swedish Massage. I have experience health trauma and understand that deep therapeutic body work isn't always appropriate. Sometimes, when the body is healing from significant and long-lasting health issues, it's the slower and more curculatory and superficial work that helps us re-connect with ourselves, in a postive way. Jenny truly cares about your preferences and what best stimulates your parasympathetic response. SNORING during your massage is welcome and is a positive sign that you are relaxed! Let's work together to create an experience that deepens your relaxation response!
GUIDED MEDITATION IS OFFERED FOR THE SWEDISH RELAXATION MASSAGE EXPERIENCE, AS AN OPTION. IF CHOSEN, IT WILL BE OFFERED DURING THE FACE/SCALP PORTION OF THE MASSAGE ONLY. I WILL NOT PERFORM THIS SERVICE UNLESS REQUESTED, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO DISTURB YOUR RELAXATION EXPERIENCE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW BEFORE WE BEGIN IF YOU WOULD LIKE THIS ADDED TO YOUR MASSAGE.
3. PRENATAL MASSAGE EXPERIENCE, 85-90 MINUTES=$200
Prenatal Pads will transform my table and offer the ability to safely and comfortably lie face down.
Your experience will look almost exactly like the SWEDISH MASSAGE EXPERIENCE, except a little more time will be dedicated to face, hands, feet, lower legs, and lower back, and we will need to be more cautious with the essential oil blends that we use.
I would love to work with you to create an appointment that is geared around your goals.
