Things to Know

Policies

Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the start of your appointment. If you arrive or if we start more than 10 minutes late, I won’t be able to extend your session time beyond a maximum of 10 extra minutes. The full session fee will still apply.

Cancellations within 24 hours of the booking will incur a cancellation fee of 50% of the total amount,If an emergency comes up, please let me know as soon as possible. I’m happy to waive fees and reschedule when I can.

Missed appointments (no-shows) are charged the full session rate.

If you’re feeling unwell, please DO NOT come in for your session. We can always reschedule for a time when you’re feeling better.

I reserve the right to refuse service when necessary, including situations where I believe a session would not be safe or appropriate.

Massage Therapy is NOT a substitute for emergency medical care. Diagnosing and Prescribing conditions are NOT within my scope of practice.

Late/No-shows/Illness

You will not be charged until the completion of the service. Your card on file is to hold your appointment. My booking software, Noterro, is HIPAA compliant.

At the time of payment you may use another card, cash, venmo, etc. I do accept HSA/FSA, however, YOU are responsible for full payment even if your insurance plan denies your claim.

If for any reason you feel that we are not the right fit you may end the session early. You will only be charged for the amount of time services were rendered to the half-hour mark. (30, 60, 90)

Medical Massage

  • I’m excited to share that I am now officially a Medical Massage Therapist!

    So what does that mean? Medical massage isn’t one single technique, it’s a results-focused approach designed specifically to improve symptoms related to a diagnosed medical condition.

    Your doctor can write a prescription for massage therapy. From there, I create a personalized treatment plan based on your condition and an in-office assessment, which may include palpation and orthopedic testing. I will also provide a superbill (a detailed invoice) so you may be eligible for reimbursement through your insurance.

    (You can still sign up for a medical massage without involving insurance.)

    1. Contact your insurance and ask if they cover medically necessary massage.

    2. Get a prescription from your doctor.

    3. Make an initial medical massage appointment with me.

    4. Fill out your intake form as thoroughly as you can! Don’t forget to input insurance info so I can get your superbill to you as soon as possible.

    5. You can submit your superbill in your insurance company’s portal.

    • Your intake form MUST be filled out beforehand.

    • Make sure to have your insurance card and prescription from your doctor.

    • Please dress in sports/gym clothes for all your appointments.

    • The initial and follow up sessions may involve orthopedic testing and continued evaluation.

    • Payment proceeds as normal; you will be provided with the superbill within 48 hours.

    • Be prepared to schedule more frequent sessions initially!

You may qualify to have your massage session paid for by your health insurance! Depending on your specific plan, one of these options may work for you:

Insurance Billing

  • I do accept HSA/FSA cards as payment for your massage.

  • "What are my out-of-network benefits for a licensed massage therapist?"

    Some insurance plans will reimburse you for therapeutic massage. Contact them before your session to see if that’s a possibility.

    (Some plans have a program that covers a percentage of therapeutic massage as well!)

  • "Does my plan cover massage therapy, specifically under CPT code 97140 or 97124 if prescribed by a doctor?"

    "What is my copay or coinsurance for these services?"

    Your plan may only cover medically necessary massage.

    1. Request a prescription from your doctor for your specific condition.

    2. Bring the prescription along with your insurance card to your first appointment with me. (Don’t forget to fill out your intake form!)

    3. Together we will develop a treatment plan based on your initial evaluation and symptoms.

    You can still get a Medical Massage without insurance.

    • Chronic pain
    • Headaches and migraines
    • Sciatica
    • TMJ dysfunction
    • Post-injury or post-surgical recovery
