Everyone has mental health, just like everyone has physical health. How you take care of your physical and mental health is up to you, but the massage therapy I offer works WITH your nervous system, allowing your body to properly relax and get out of ‘fight or flight”.

When your physical body is not expending energy to survive, it can focus on healing. In turn, you can have more capacity and less stress response. Which is good for mental health purposes. I hope to be part of your team for mental and physical health.

I spent a lot of mental energy on this when setting up my pricing. First, I have you pay when you book because not only does it protect my schedule, I also don’t have to feel weird about lulling you into a massage high then taking money from you.

I decided to set prices that reflected my value and supported both me and my business. I personally always tip my people, but I do not want people to feel obligated to tip after a massage at Mythos. I have a QR code and link if you would like to show your appreciation for your massage financially, but I do not want tipping to be a barrier for anyone to receive a massage.

Gratuity doesn’t only have to be monetary either. Use the contact form on my website to send me feedback about your experience, a recipe for your favorite dinner, or a recommendation for a fun thing to do in town. Also, referring me to your friends is a fantastic way to tip!

I want my clients to be comfortable. This means I don’t want you to spend your massage thinking about the placement of your arms. My response is always one about your comfort. Many people find it comfortable to leave their arms by their side. Some people like their arms hanging off the table.

Sometimes, when I am a client, I pin my arms under my hip bones, because as a wide person, I always feel like my arms are going to fall off the table. The main thing is that you are comfortable. If that means you have to switch placement of your arms, then please adjust whenever you need. I promise, I would much rather you speak up so we can make you comfortable, than to have your experience clouded by discomfort.

Also, most of the time I tell clients to “dress down to your comfort level”. For some people, this is completely disrobed or down to underwear level (you will be covered by the sheet). PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS BE A BARRIER TO GETTING A MASSAGE. If you are interested in massage therapy but are not comfortable taking your clothes off, please still get a massage.

A lot of massage therapist that specialize in “sports massage” can do clothed work easily, even if it is not as relaxing as what I do. I absolutely still want you to come, even if clothing feels like a barrier to you. We can start with head, hands, and feet if that feels more digestible. I am happy to work with you.

Please do not let body hair be an issue. It certainly is not an issue for me, so please do not let this be a cause for self-consciousness to arise.

Ideally, you would have recently showered before you come to get a massage. Again, I do not want this to be the reason you’re not getting massages. If you want to decompress after a session at the gym, or you don’t have regular access to a shower, please book a massage anyway. I keep wipes, hand sanitizer, tissues, and hair ties for my clients to use as needed. If you’d feel more comfortable giving yourself a quick wipe before your massage, just let me know you’ll need an extra minute getting on the table. This is a judgement free zone.
