For the past few years, I’ve been keeping my rates steady - not taking increases - to make services more affordable during the pandemic. I wanted to serve as many people as possible. Now, it’s time to get pricing back up to Market Value. I’m basically catching up on cost-of-living-adjustments for several years.
The new prices will apply to all sessions after February 1st 2024.
Thank you for asking! Generally, in this field of massage therapy and healing arts … Yes! Gratuity is an expected practice. It can range from 10% - 30%. With 15% being a default amount. 20%-25% or more, when you’re feeling extra grateful for the service.
If you need to cancel or change your appointment, please do so as soon as possible. There is no fee if you cancel 48 hours before your service.
With less than 48 hours notice, 100% of scheduled service is due. Paid within three days.
This applies to all reasons for cancelation: work-related, illness, family events, traffic … all reasons.
Yes! I will continue to offer discounts and promotions from time-to-time. Please join my newsletter or follow me on Instagram to stay in the loop. For package deals, please check out my Program offerings.
I accept most payments: Venmo, PayPal, credit cards, debit cards, cash, HSA cards, FSA cards.
Venmo is my preferred, when possible.
Yes I take cash. I report this income, and I can provide a receipt or Superbill if needed.
I accept HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards. Sorry, I do not work directly with Insurance. I can also provide Superbills or anything you need to get reimbursed.
I recommend clients contact their insurance providers prior to our initial consultation & session to confirm.
What is ATMAT®?
It's formed on traditional Maya medicine, incorporating herbology, nutrition, and abdominal massage. It stands for the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®.
What is the abdominal massage?
Abdominal massage varies from traditions, cultures and schools. In the ATMAT technique it's noninvasive, external touch including upper and lower abdominal work and low back and tailbone. And is most known for benefiting optimal uterine position. It’s beneficial for both reproductive and digestive organs.
How long is the initial ATMAT session?
About 90 minutes. The session involves going over the intake form verbally, receiving the Maya work and learning the self-care practices.
How long is each ATMAT follow-up session?
60 or 90 minutes.
How do your prices compare?
My prices are typical, and in some cases slightly lower than the current ATMAT and bodywork rates. I try to keep my prices affordable in order to see more clients. ATMAT rates tend to be higher than massage therapy because they require specialty knowledge and additional training and certification. I also provide the tools needed to begin the journey of self care.
Do you have any special deals?
Yes! I offer package deals, and seasonal specials. Get in touch for details.
Can I eat beforehand? After?
Please - no eating for an hour before. It's ideal to eat lightly a few hours prior. Drink water in small amounts, regularly, throughout the day.
How about exercise?
It depends on the exercise and the person. We can talk about this together.
What about during my menstrual cycle?
It's okay for all services, with the exception of ATMAT work.
