Q: Do you accept HSA (Health Savings Account) cards?

A: Yes! HSA cards may be used to pay for services at Massage Is Life. (Please check with your provider for eligibility if you're unsure.)

Q: What if I cry or get emotional during my session?

A: Massage can sometimes release emotions, especially when stress, grief, or trauma are stored in the body. Emotional release is a natural part of healing, and I actually encourage allowing those emotions to come forward if they do. This is a safe, judgment-free space where you are free to fully relax, release, and simply be. Your emotions are welcome here, and you will be supported throughout your session.

Q: Do you perform prenatal massage during the first trimester?

A: Yes — prenatal massage is available throughout all stages of pregnancy, including the first trimester. When performed by a properly trained therapist, prenatal massage is safe and can help reduce early pregnancy discomfort such as fatigue, nausea, and anxiety. Every session is adapted to your comfort level and current stage of pregnancy to ensure safety for both mother and baby.

Q: Is it safe to use a pregnancy table with the belly cutout?

A: Yes — when used properly and when the client is comfortable, pregnancy tables with belly cutouts can safely be used for some clients. However, they are not ideal for every body type, every stage of pregnancy, or every pregnancy situation.

For some clients, the weight of the uterus and ligaments may still create discomfort or strain even when lying face down with a cutout. That’s why positioning is always adjusted based on your comfort, stage of pregnancy, and how your body is changing. In many cases, side-lying or semi-reclined positioning may still be the most comfortable and safest option.

I always assess comfort and safety during every prenatal session and make adjustments as needed to ensure both you and your baby are fully supported throughout your massage.

Q: Can I get a massage while on my menstrual cycle?

A: Yes — massage is safe during your menstrual cycle, and many clients actually find it helpful in relieving menstrual cramps, low back discomfort, and overall tension. If you're experiencing heavier bleeding or increased sensitivity, please communicate that with me so we can adjust your positioning or techniques for maximum comfort. As always, your comfort and privacy are my top priority.

Q: How often should I get a massage?

A: Every client is different. Many benefit from monthly or biweekly sessions for maintenance and wellness. We can discuss a schedule that fits your needs, wellness goals, and budget.

Q: What if I have mobility issues or special needs?

A: Please contact me ahead of time if you have any mobility concerns or special needs. I am happy to make accommodations to ensure your comfort, safety, and accessibility during your session.
Please note: My office is located on the lower level and is only accessible by stairs.

Q: Can I receive massage after recent medical testing or procedures?

A: Certain procedures (such as biopsies, injections, or other invasive tests) may require a short waiting period before receiving massage. If you’ve recently had any testing or procedures, please check with your healthcare provider and notify me prior to your session so we can determine appropriate timing.

Q: What products do you use? Are they safe for sensitive skin?

A: I use massage oil only for all sessions. The oil is unscented and nut-free, making it generally safe for sensitive skin. If you have any allergies, sensitivities, or ingredient concerns, please notify me before your appointment

Q: Can I choose my music or bring my own?

A: Relaxing music is provided during your session to help you fully unwind. If you prefer a specific type of music or want to bring your own playlist, feel free to discuss it with me before your session begins.

Q: What if I need to talk during my massage — or prefer silence?

A: This is your time. Some clients prefer to chat, others prefer complete quiet. There’s no right or wrong — simply let me know what feels best for you. I do not initiate conversation during sessions, but I’m always happy to engage if you choose to talk.

Q: Can I bring my own oil or lotion?

A: No — outside products are not permitted. I use professional, unscented, nut-free massage oil that is safe for most skin types. This ensures product consistency, quality control, and reduces the risk of allergic reactions or contamination. This is also for safety reasons, as what I use on your skin is also absorbed by me during treatments.
