Frequently
Asked Questions
1Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance. Payment is required at the time of service and a credit card is required to hold appointments. Upon request I will send you a superbill, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
2Is there parking?
There is a church parking lot located next to Heartbeat House that can be used by clients. There is also plenty of street parking in the neighborhood.
3What is intraoral massage?
Intraoral massage is massage inside the mouth with a gloved hand to treat TMJ dysfunction, jaw pain, bruxism, sinus pain, headaches and more.
4What is myofascial unwinding?
Myofascial unwinding is a nervous system focused technique that reduces fascial tension and pain. Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and bones. Ideally, fascia should glide and allow for pain-free movement. When fascial sheets become stuck, it causes pain and limited range of motion. Myofascial unwinding works with the nervous system to restore fascial pliability and movement. This technique is effective for chronic pain and hypermobility.
5What is neurofascial massage?
Neurofascial massage is similar to myofascial unwinding; they both focus on the fascial, however neurofascial work is specifically focused on the fascia surrounding nerves. Fascial tension around nerves can cause far reaching pain. Neurofascial massage reduces fascial tension and can provide immense pain relief.
6What is muscle-specific deep tissue massage?
Muscle-specific deep tissue massage is a nuanced approach to muscular tension and pain. Rather than deep work throughout an entire region of the body, muscle-specific deep tissue focuses on the muscles and fascia related to an area of pain.
7How do I make an appointment?
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris eu massa orci.
8What is therapeutic massage?
Therapeutic massage, sometimes called clinical massage, medical massage, or treatment massage, is massage focused on meeting a therapeutic goal. Common goals are managing chronic pain, reducing anxiety, or recovering from an injury. While often deeply relaxing, therapeutic massage is different from relaxation massage because it’s focused on reaching a therapeutic outcome by the end of the session. I use myofascial unwinding, neurofascial, and muscle-specific deep tissue techniques to meet therapeutic goals in my sessions.
9What is warm bamboo massage?
Warm bamboo massage incorporates heated bamboo sticks into a therapeutic massage. The heat aids in reducing muscular tension and is deeply relaxing.
10What is cupping massage?
Massage cups create negative pressure that allows bound up sheets of fascia to release. In a cupping massage, heated massage cups used to provide focused treatment on the areas that need it the most.
11What is Manual Lymph Drainage?
Manual Lymph Drainage, sometimes called Manual Lymphatic Drainage or MLD, is a gentle modality that supports the body’s lymphatic function by manually moving lymph. The result is reduced swelling, decreased pain, and increased range of motion in an area that is swollen due to injury or surgery. MLD also supports healthy immune function and is deeply relaxing.
A manual lymph drainage session is not a typical massage. Unlike the other modalities I offer, it does not impact the muscles or fascia. Instead, MLD is focused on the lymph directly underneath the skin. This means that the touch is very light.
