Frequesntly Asked Questions
HOW DO I BOOK A SESSION?
Call or text (914) 523-0116. I don't use an online booking system - every new client talks to me directly so we can figure out what you actually need before we schedule anything.
WHAT DOES A SESSION COST?
Sessions are $150 for 60 minutes or $200 for 90 minutes.
SHOULD I BOOK 60 OR 90 MINUTES?
60 minutes is a completely valid choice, especially if you're targeting one specific area or working with a tight schedule. But 90 minutes is where the work really opens up - there's room to treat the full pattern, not just spot-treat one tight spot. If you're not sure, ask me when you call and I'll give you my honest read.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEEP TISSUE AND SWEDISH MASSAGE?
Deep tissue works to lengthen and release tight, restricted tissue and separate individual muscles from the muscles around them so they move independently again - that's real, lasting change, not just temporary looseness. Swedish is lighter, more relaxation-focused. I do both, and even in a lighter session you're still getting the benefit of 27 years and 25,000+ sessions of hands-on knowledge - not a generic rubdown.
WHAT DOES "THIS IS NOT A SPA MASSAGE" MEAN?
It means the work is built around your body, not a spa's schedule. No waiting room, no rushing to turn the table for the next client, no routine applied the same way to everyone. I come to you, one client at a time, and the session is built around what you actually need that day.
WHAT IS "LENGTHEN, RELEASE, AND LOCK IT IN"?
It's my approach to every session: lengthen and release tight, restricted muscle tissue, then work to separate individual muscles from surrounding tissue so they can move freely again. Discomfort during the work should always feel productive - like something is resolving - never pain for its own sake.
DO YOU WORK WITH ATHLETES?
Yes, a lot. I'm a lifelong athlete myself (USTA-rated tennis, pickleball, platform tennis, golf) and I understand what repetitive strain from sport actually does to a body over time. But you don't need to be competing in anything - chronic tension, old injuries, and desk-job strain are just as much what this work is for.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AT MY FIRST SESSION?
We'll talk briefly about what's going on with your body - any pain, tightness, old injuries, or specific goals - before we start. Then the session itself is built around that, not a fixed routine. I'll check in throughout to make sure the pressure and focus are right for you.
WHAT AREAS DO YOU SERVE?
Westchester County, NY - including Bronxville, Scarsdale, White Plains, Harrison, Chappaqua, Tarrytown, Irvington, Dobbs Ferry, Hastings-on-Hudson, Ardsley, and throughout the surrounding area.
DO YOU OFFER GROUP OR SEMI-PRIVATE SESSIONS?
Yes - semi-private massage lessons for up to 4 participants, $450 on weekdays or $500 evenings/weekends, for a 2-hour session. Call or text to set one up.
WHAT SHOULD I DO TO PREPARE FOR A SESSION?
Just have a space cleared where the table can go, and wear (or plan to remove) whatever's comfortable for the areas we're working on. I bring everything else.
