Bodywork Beyond Massage
is currently offering sessions of
Therapeutic Bodywork, Therapeutic Movement, Stress Reduction, Distance/Telehealth
SOOTHING body and soul RELEASING deeply held tensions CREATING new patterns of ease
When we speak to schedule your appointment, we will spend usually 10-15 minutes talking about why you are seeking treatment, your history, what my sessions can offer you, and which type of session I would recommend (see blog post from March 23, 2023). This helps me to determine what your needs might be, and how I can best meet them. This also helps you understand a bit about the type of work that I do. Some therapists label this a "FREE 15 minute consultation!". For me (although yes it is free!), it is part of how I view my relationship with clients, and how I can best be of help to them.
(For a more in-depth discussion about which type of session I would recommend, please see "Consultations", below.)
Your first session will include an initial intake. This is a longer intake than during most other sessions (although at times, we may need to spend longer on an intake or check-out - if specific issues are occurring; etc.).
This can be done either:
~~ within the scheduled time of our session (meaning your treatment time will be less)
~~ as a separate consultation (see "Consultations" below) prior to your first session
~~ or as an add-on (in price and time) at the time of your first session (must be determined prior to your first session)
I have a number of clients for whom the verbal work we do pre and post treatment time is very important (see Blog Post "A Chance To Pause and Consider" ). I have clients who like to do 10-15 minutes of movement with visual imagery at each session. If extra/specific verbal or movement work sound like something you want to add onto your session, please consider scheduling an extra 15 minutes to your session length, which will allow the time for us to spend additional time with the verbal/movement/imagery work, and still have the treatment time length that you want.

CONSULTATIONS
In-depth Intake $30 (20 minutes)
This is either a more in-depth assessment (via phone or Zoom) to determine how we can best meet your needs and goals for sessions with me, or this can actually be an "intake" before we meet for a session.
I recommend this consultation prior to your first session with me**; if you have already worked with me but have not been in for a session in a while; or if there is something specific going on for you that may take more than a few minutes to discuss.
Doing this prior to our session allows me time to prepare ahead of our meeting so that I may best meet your needs, and frees up more time during our session for treatment.
** This can also be done as an add-on (in price and time) at the time of your first session.
Dynamic Wellness $45 (40 minutes)
This consultation (via phone or Zoom) will look in depth at your overall needs and goals and come up with a plan that encompasses more than just any sessions you might choose to have with me. This length Consultation can also be used as an expanded version of the shorter session.
My office is a nut-free, scent free, office. The laundry soaps/cleaning supplies I use are non-toxic and un-scented. On the day of your visit to my office, please do not wear any scented lotions/perfumes/hairsprays, and if you have eaten any nuts/nut products on that day, please wash your hands thoroughly before coming for your appointment.
Distance/Telehealth Sessions
Distance Dynamic Rebalancing $50, $65, $85, $115
Other Telehealth Sessions $65, $85
Consultations $30, $45
PLEASE REVIEW CANCELLATIONS POLICIES PAGE
DISTANCE DYNAMIC REBALANCING
$50 (25-30 minutes) $65 (35-50 minutes) $85 (55-70 minutes) $115 (75-90 minutes)++
These sessions begin with either a phone or Zoom intake- if it is our first session together, Zoom is preferred. We get off the phone/Zoom, and I proceed to do a Dynamic Rebalancing therapeutic bodywork treatment with you, as if we were together in my office. We conclude our session with a phone or Zoom check-out. There are many reasons why distance treatments work. Basically, the concept is similar to radio, television, or WiFi traveling across distances.
Generally, our time spent on intake and check-out is brief. At times, we may need to spend longer on an intake or check-out (first visit; if specific issues are occurring; etc.).
I recommend Zoom versus phone if I have not worked with you before or in a long time/ if you have specific physical issues/if we may choose to incorporate Therapeutic Movement or Stress Reduction in our session.
I recommend a longer session if you have specific physical issues going on. Also, some people who do not notice much of anything with a shorter treatment notice more when they experience a longer treatment.
For more information, see "Telehealth Sessions: About" page
++ I have added this longer session because I have a number of clients for whom the verbal work we do pre and post treatment time is very important (see Blog Post "A Chance To Pause and Consider" ). This longer session allows the time for us to spend more time with the verbal work and still have a full treatment time.

These sessions can be either Dynamic Rebalancing (see above for session lengths), Therapeutic Movement, or Stress Reduction.
