*If an injury is acute (beginning stage of healing), please allow up to 2 weeks before Massaging the area. If the injury is local, I can Massage other areas of the body. Massage may be supportive for the injury in the subacute or remodeling stage of healing (in between stage).

*Open wounds are contraindicated for Massage. Please have them covered, so we can work around the area. If it's a large wound or post surgery, please reschedule.

I work gently, slowly, & compassionately with any form of trauma. Massage can be a great tool in conjunction with other therapies to support safety in the body & relaxing the nervous system.
