You automatically agree to these policies by scheduling, so please make sure you have read through them.
YOUR APPOINTMENT TIME HAS BEEN RESERVED FOR YOU.
If you need to cancel a scheduled appointment, please call or text 929 324 0862 as soon as possible. Please note, there is a 12-hour $18 rescheduling fee that applies to cover the cost of studio rental. I adhere to a 24-hour cancellation policy. Last-minute cancellations and no-shows are charged the full price of the session booked. Please note that arriving late to your session may result in a shorter appointment so as to not penalize clients booking after you. Clients who are over 20 minutes late will be asked to reschedule their appointment and will be charged a cancellation fee.

Masks are optional. If there are specific space needs around this, please let me know before your appointment so we can make sure your health needs are met. KN-95 masks are available at the studio and sessions can be done fully masked at client request.
I will be taking a COVID-19 test once a month.
Hand washing will happen upon arrival, before the session work, and after the session ends, at minimum.
We will be practicing in a space that has very low traffic. There are two air purifiers in the studio. We will be the only two people in the space during our sessions.
I will leave ample time between sessions to disinfect the table and any other surfaces that may have been touched in the space.
If you refuse any of these precautions, we may not be able to work together. Additionally, if you observe me failing to meet these precautions, please let me know either in person or via email.
Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you are experiencing COVID symptoms, recently tested positive, or have been exposed so that we can reassess keeping our session.

In order to create more equitable access for QTBIPOC, survival sex workers, trans folks, and other underserved communities, my 60-minute sessions can be offered on a sliding scale. Here are two ways to access a subsidized rate for these sessions:
I offer three sessions per month at my Solidarity Rate ($120 - $150).
I offer one session per month specifically for QTBIPOC at a $75 rate.

I strive to accommodate all bodies in my practice and can make accommodations to meet your needs. My Clinton Hill studio is on a ground level, but my other studios are unfortunately not wheelchair accessible. Please use the intake forms or feel free to directly contact me with any specific accessibility needs.

At this moment, I am only working with folks 18+ for all bodywork sessions, excluding Reiki sessions. Parental or caregiver consent may be required for folks under the age of 18 for any energy work sessions. If you are looking for a massage therapist to work with someone younger, I am happy to make a referral to some of my fellow colleagues.

The massage table itself has a weight capacity of 600lbs but working on a mat on the ground is always available.

Whatever modality we’re working with, your comfort will be prioritized throughout the session, whether that means working around your clothing or draping a sheet over your body. If you know you’d like to remain clothed during a session, make sure whatever you wear is comfortable and allows for free movement of your body.
Typically CTM sessions involve clients to be in their undergarments, but a bathing suit, loose shorts and a tank top, etc. are also fine!
Reiki sessions are done full clothed and a sheet and/or blanket is always provided for your comfort.
A blanket or sheet will always be offered during all sessions if wanted for temperature or comfort.

Yes! Completely normal. Trusting someone to engage in consensual bodywork can be a vulnerable experience and not one that most of us are used to. We can take a pause or stop at any moment in a session.

A standard partner massage lesson includes two people, contact me if you’re interested in booking as a larger poly relationship so we can make sure there is enough time in the session for everyone.

Therapeutic massage will be more of how you might expect a typical massage session to be, with conventional draping to your comfort, on a traditional table, still utilizing varying techniques and completely catered to you.
Connective Tissue Massage will involve more client participation, through cueing and being asked to stand up from the table throughout the session to observe any shifting sensations or newfound experiences while receiving the work. The session will involve clients to be in their undergarments, to whatever their comfort level is, and is typically done without draping, though a blanket will always be offered during the session if wanted for temperature or comfort.
