What to Expect at Krimson's Healing Hands: Wellness Awaits!

Welcome to your first session! We’ll start with a relaxing 5- to 15-minute intake to get to know you and your wellness goals. You’ll fill out a medical history form and share your goals for treatment, and together, we’ll create a customized plan for your time here. I’ll be wearing a mask and ask that you do, too, to ensure a safe, comfortable environment for everyone.

When you arrive, I’ll show you around the treatment room, answer any questions, and make sure you know where to place your belongings. Once we’re ready to begin, I’ll step out for a moment to give you privacy to undress to your comfort level (many clients enjoy bodywork over their clothing – it’s entirely up to you!). Everyone will be draped during their session, keeping you comfortable and relaxed.

You’ll also get to select your choice of music and decide between a scented or unscented massage cream, creating an experience tailored just for you. I’m looking forward to partnering with you on your wellness journey!

The short answer is: No, your massage should not be painful! My goal is to ensure a comfortable and relaxing experience every time. If we reach a level of pressure that feels too intense, I’ll either sense it and adjust or rely on your feedback to find the right balance.

After your massage, you may feel mild sensitivity for a day or two, similar to how you might feel after starting a new workout routine – this is perfectly normal! If sensitivity lasts longer, we’ll make any needed adjustments during your next session. I’ll always check in to ensure we create the most beneficial and enjoyable experience tailored to your comfort level.

I’m happy to answer this question because it comes up often! Whether you decide to shave or not before your session is entirely up to you – there’s no preference on my end. I’ll simply use a bit more cream as needed to ensure comfort.

The same goes for your hair! If you feel more comfortable tying it back, feel free to do so. Prefer to leave it loose? That works perfectly too, and we can adjust as needed during the session. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, so choose whatever feels best for you.

Absolutely, you are warmly welcome here! I’ve made it a priority to ensure my space is inclusive and accommodating for everyone. My massage tables are specifically chosen to support a working weight of 800 pounds or more, providing comfort for a variety of sizes and statures. Additionally, the client bench, perfect for sitting and storing your belongings, is rated up to 500 pounds. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where you can feel completely at ease.

Absolutely! This office is a welcoming and affirming space for queer and trans individuals. I'm committed to continually learning and listening to provide the best care and sensitivity to the LGBTQIA+ community. Your comfort and feedback are always valued here. 🏳️‍🌈

Absolutely! Bodywork is available for all ages here, from infants to those in their golden years. With specialized training in both infant and geriatric massage techniques, I can tailor sessions for every stage of life. For clients under 18, I just ask for a parent or guardian’s permission to ensure everyone feels comfortable and cared for.

Please feel free to reach out if you have questions about specific medical conditions! While I can’t list every condition where massage may or may not be appropriate, I’m here to discuss your unique needs. With guidance from your physician, we can often make adjustments to create a safe, supportive experience tailored to you.

I completely understand allergies and sensitivities! Most of the products I use come from Biotone, with essential oils from Mountain Rose Herbs. I encourage you to reach out before booking to ensure these products are suitable for you. If you have specific needs, I’m happy to discuss them, and you’re welcome to bring your own oils or creams if that feels more comfortable. Just let me know ahead of time so we can ensure a safe, allergy-friendly experience for us both!

If you’re sensitive to essential oils, please reach out before scheduling, and I’ll gladly book you at a time when the room is "fresh." While I use unscented detergents and cleaning products and take care to keep the space as scent-free as possible, I can’t fully guarantee it will be scent-free due to aromatherapy treatments available for other clients. If you’re highly sensitive to even trace amounts of essential oils, we can discuss your needs to see if this environment feels comfortable for you. Your comfort and well-being are my top priorities!

Your feedback is always welcome, and I’m open to any suggestions you may have! If there’s a question you’d like added to this page or answered before your session, please feel free to message me. Thank you for helping me create the best experience for you!
