QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Good questions, honest answers
If yours isn’t here, ask me. No question is too small, or too strange.
Getting started
What happens on the intro call?
We talk about what’s going on, what you’re hoping for, and whether we’re a good fit. No commitment, no hard sell. Book your intro call
How does the new client package work?
If we decide to work together, we begin with three sessions over about three weeks. Close enough together that you can feel things shift, and long enough to learn what your body responds to.
How often do people come back after that?
We decide together, based on your goals, budget, and schedule. Most people come back every three to five weeks.
Do I have to choose between bodywork and Scarwork?
No. You book a session, not a technique. I draw on whatever will help most that day.
Sessions
How long is a session?
I book 75-minute appointments. Let’s call it a long hour.
What should I wear?
You’ll be fully clothed during your session, so wear something comfortable for moving. Shorts and a t-shirt/tank/sports bra is ideal.
Will it hurt?
Bodywork can be uncomfortable at times, but we are always actively engaged in communication and you are always in control.
Scarwork is always painless. That’s one of the pillars of the technique (and why I love it so much).
What should I do afterwards?
After Bodywork, I want you to go and use what you’ve gained. Go to the gym, have a walk, do a run, practice yoga. Anything! Really!
After Scarwork, it can be helpful to take it easy as your body adapts to the changes.
In all cases, it’s important to take the time to listen to what your body is ready for.
Cost and policies
How much does it cost?
The new client package costs $465. Follow-up sessions cost $240.
Do you take insurance, HSA, or FSA?
I don’t take insurance but if you think your insurance company will reimburse you (best of luck!), I’ll write you an insurance compliant invoice. I do take HSA/FSA cards.
What’s your cancellation policy?
I’d appreciate at least 24-hours notice. Life happens though, and I get it. I might ask you to pay in advance if late cancelling/rescheduling become habitual.
Finding me
Where are you?
My office is in Arlington, MA. There are seven stairs to reach it, and visits are by appointment only. Contact and map
I’m a bodyworker. Do you teach?
Yes. I teach Scarwork and nervous system–centered touch for schools, studios, and practitioner groups, and I offer one-on-one mentorship. Teaching and mentorship
Still curious?
The intro call is the easiest way to find out whether this is a fit.
