Frequently asked questions
Where are you located?
I have an office in Medical Lake. My office is attached to my home so I do not post this address publicly. Please book an appointment or call for an exact location.
Do you take insurance?
I am able to take HSA/FSA payment cards. Otherwise I offer insurance reimbursement. You pay at time of service and then I provide you with documentation to self-submit to your insurance. All companies are different so I suggest calling them before making an appointment.
What are your hours?
I do not work weekends. I do offer flexible weekday appointments including mornings, afternoon and evenings as late as 8 pm Tuesday thru Friday. Please contact me to see what my current availability is. I am always accepting new clients.
How often should I be getting a massage?
Great question! I get this one a lot from clients and while there is no standard answer I base my response on two things:
1: Are you getting massage for a specific physical problem/ pain/ injury? Or is your massage for general relaxation/wellness?
For rehabilitation or pain based massage therapy I recommend a more frequent regular schedule (which we will talk more about in an upcoming post). If you are being seen more because "it feels good" or you are in overall good health you can usually let more time pass between sessions.
2: What type of self care routine do you have in place?
If you are looking at massage as a way to bypass doing anything for yourself, think again! Clients who do even simple self care routines such as drinking water, getting enough sleep, exercise and stretching see the benefits of their massage sessions as being greater and lasting longer.
HANDCRAFTED MASSAGE takes the upmost pride in providing massages tailored to each clients' individual needs. I provide this through assessment, experience and listening to your feedback.
