Services & Rates
My menu is based on time, not on type. You pick a length, tell me what needs work and where you'd prefer I skip, and I give you a combination of relaxation and treatment-oriented work (or only one, if you ask for it) that targets those areas. Depending on your needs and what your tissue tells me, I sometimes throw a little myofascial release, trigger point work, active stretching, or Bowenwork into the mix.
For instance: Full-body massages take a full hour. (I've tried doing them in shorter lengths and found that you and I both feel rushed.) However, about half my clients take their hour to the upper half only -- neck and shoulders, back, glutes, perhaps arms. Some like back and neck, hands, feet, and scalp. My "runner's special" is everything BUT arms.
Shorter sessions require skipping areas, typically limiting to two large or three smaller areas -- back and neck in a half-hour is a popular combination.

Gift certificates are available at the same $40/hour rate for as many hours, or fractions of hours, you want to gift (the current record is five hours' worth). Unless sold at a discount, certificates cannot expire in Oregon, but prompt redemption is appreciated!
Alternative Payment... Opt In!
I can't take goods instead of currency all the time (utility companies just won't get on board!), but it's often simpler. Sign up with me and pay for your massages with shopping, and get extra rewards points wherever your store or credit card allows.
Relaxation + Education!
Got a hungry mind? I've got all the nice, relaxing music one could wish for in a massage room... but I also have more than 350 Great Courses and audiobooks available to spend the time with. History, culture, linguistics, science, and more!
Coming Soon... Self-Care Lending Library
Books, DVDs, maybe even equipment to help you live better in your body during those 167 hours a week when you AREN'T getting a massage. Available now: The MELT Method by Sue Hitzmann -- the very method I use most to care for my own body. Titles to be acquired: Instant Relief, Health at Every Size, MELT Performance, The Open-Focus Brain, Your Body Mandala, Medical Medium Liver Rescue and others -- all geared toward a life full of health for us all.
