Medical massage therapy refers to the application of massage techniques with specific medical goals in mind. Unlike general relaxation massage, which focuses on overall wellness and stress relief, medical massage is targeted towards treating specific health conditions, injuries, or disabilities. Each session is usually customized to clients needs.

Yes! I am coming from the Renton Highlands area. I have a $50 local travel fee and a $100 long distance travel fee.

I regularly work with clients who are fully clothed. For those uncomfortable with direct skin contact, I can wear gloves and perform massages fully clothed, or provide full-body stretching sessions. It's recommended to wear long sleeves and stretchy clothing for optimal comfort during sessions.

I do offer gift certificates. You can purchase them on my website.

I have been a licensed massage therapist for the past 9 years, which requires regular continuing education. I have specialized training and certifications in cupping therapy, active isolated stretching, inter-oral massage, cranial sacral therapy, lymphatic drainage, pregnancy massage, trigger point therapy, visceral manipulation, and reiki.

I take HSA (Health Savings Account), most major credit and debit cards, apple pay, Zelle, check, venmo and cash.

Short answer, no. Long answer, I do not take health insurance but if you have a prescription for a massage and you show me that prescription before your session then I can write you a super chart and I can give you that and you can submit it to your insurance for reimbursement or put the money you have spent on my services towards your deductible.

As always, please consult with your doctor. Depending on your recent medical history, treatments such as local injections (e.g., cortisone shots or botox) are contraindicated during the first week. If you've recently been in a car accident or experienced trauma, it may be necessary to delay your first treatment until the full extent of your injuries are assessed.

I do. However, I am typically booked out weeks in advanced. It never hurts to call and ask. I might have a last minute cancellation, today or in the next few days.

My facility features a disability-safe bathroom and entrance, both wheelchair accessible. There's a footstool available under the table for those who may find it challenging to get on it. Alternatively, I can accommodate treatments using a lowered table, massage chair, or while you remain in your wheelchair. To enhance comfort during sessions, I provide a range of bolsters and pillows on the table.

I have significant amounts of experience working with people of all gender identities and places in their transitions, as well as working with minorities of all age groups. As a woman owned business and child of immigrants I am proud to be a small business owner in my community and hope to create a safe space for all of my clients.
