Where will my bodywork session take place?
This will be a virtual session, I suggest you find a comfortable easy chair or your most comfortable resting place.

Must I be completely undressed?
Typically clothing remains on during craniosacral or polarity bodywork, however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. I suggest be as comfortable as you can.

Will the practitioner be present when I disrobe?
Please cover yourself with a warm blanket.

Will I be covered during the session?
If you remove your clothing please remain covered and warm at all times.

What parts of my body will be treated?
I will probably work with your feet first then mid section and finish at the shoulders and head before closing at your feet..

What will Craniosacral or Polarity Therapy of my body feel like?
Craniosacral or Polarity helps calm your nervous system and relax your body. As your body becomes relaxed, internal pressure may be gradually increased to address specific congested areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. 

Are there different kinds of massage and bodywork?
There are numerous types of therapeutic bodywork; various techniques utilize light medium or deep pressure, including basic rubbing strokes, rocking movement, posture and movement re-education, application of pressure to specific points, and more. We can discuss which methods may be most appropriate for you.

What should I do during my bodywork session?
Keep you phone close by so we can stay in verbal contact during the session. Prior to your session, feel free to ask the practitioner any question. Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session. You may keep your eyes open if that helps you feel more  comfortable. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.

How will I feel after the massage or bodywork session?
Most people feel very relaxed and may want to take a nap. Some experience freedom from  aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days.

What are the benefits of bodywork?
Therapeutic Bodywork can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture, and reduce blood pressure. Energy work is also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being.

Are there any medical conditions that would make massage or bodywork inadvisable?
Yes. That's why it's imperative that, before you begin your session, the practitioner obtains a medical history, which will include accident and trauma history. A release will be sent to you for you to sign and return before you experience your first session. It is very important that you inform the practitioner of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor's care, (for seizure or stroke) it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for therapeutic bodywork prior to any session. Depending on the condition, approval from your doctor may be required.
