How long have you been doing massages? I have been doing massage therapy since 2001. I graduated from the Philadelphia School of Massage in June of 2001.
What type of massages do you do? I do a mix of Swedish and Sports massages (Swedish is more for relaxation, Sports is more for muscle tension). I tailor each massage for each client based on that client's needs, which can involve varying combinations of Swedish and Sports massage.
Will I be clothed/covered during the massage? You will be covered with a sheet (draped) during the your massage. Only the body part being massaged will be uncovered. This ensures that you stay warm and comfortable during your massage. Your state of undress under the sheet is based on your comfort level.
Where do you do your massages? I come to your home in Midland to perform the massage. I bring my massage table and all of the equipment I will need. You just need to provide a space. I am also available in Odessa on a limited basis. There is a $20 travel fee for massages in Odessa and a 90 minute minimum.

Do you use a massage table? Yes, I use an oversized professional massage table that is wider-than-normal and includes arm rests for your added comfort. The table is covered in a 3" Luxury high density foam for the ultimate massage experience. The table also has an adjustable padded face cradle.
I would like to have no talking during a massage and just "zone out" -- is that OK? Yes, that is completely OK. I am very "go with the flow" with my massage clients in regards to talking or not talking during a massage. If you are initiating a conversation during a massage, I will respond. If you are not talking and quiet, I will let you remain quiet and "zone out".
Do you use oil for massaging? Do you use scents? I use an unscented hypo-allergenic lotion to perform massage. This lotion absorbs into the skin quite well so there is no need to wipe up any excess or shower afterwards. It leaves the skin moisturized and smooth after your massage.
What body parts do you massage? I massage the following body parts during a massage: neck, back, glutes, legs, feet, arms, hands, and chest.
I have ticklish feet -- can you skip my feet during the massage? I actually use a NON-ticklish foot massage technique that even some of the most skeptical people with ticklish feet have been pleasantly surprised with. I, too, have ticklish feet and the technique works fine on me However, if you are dead-set on me skipping your feet, I will respect that request.
Is there anything I need to do to prepare for a massage? It's best to have a massage on a stomach that is not stuffed -- so basically you don't want to have a big meal right before a massage appointment -- and conversely you don't want to be feeling hungry either. As with most things in life, moderation is key. Also, please take a shower before your massage (your good hygiene is appreciated)
Do you accept personal checks or credit cards? To keep things simple I accept cash only.
What are your massage rates? $80 for 1 hour (cash only) $110 for 1 1/2 hours (cash only) $140 for 2 hours (cash only) Most of my clients schedule 1 1/2 hour appointments to get the most out of their therapeutic massage experience.
Do I have to tip or is that already included in the price of a massage? Tips are not included in my prices, but you are not required to tip. However, if you feel you want to show your appreciation for a massage done well, you are welcome to offer a tip if you so desire.
What is your availability? I am available by appointment daily from 9:00am-9:00pm
What if I need to reschedule or cancel my appointment? I will work to accommodate you, schedule permitting. A minimum of 24 hours notice is required for a cancellation. If less than 24 hours notice is given, you will be billed and expected to pay the full amount for the session.
