(734) 555-0148
Hi, I'm Maren
I've been a licensed massage therapist for twelve years, the last eight in this bright, quiet treatment room. It's just me here, so you'll never be handed to someone new or rushed out for the next booking. Every session starts with a few minutes on what's bothering you and what you'd like to feel when you leave, and I check in on pressure as I go.
- ✓Licensed since 2014
- ✓Same therapist, every single visit
- ✓Pressure you choose, adjusted as we go

From Regular Clients
I sit at a desk all week and my right shoulder had been tight for months. She asked good questions, found the spot in about five minutes and checked in on pressure the whole time. I've booked every three weeks since.
Booking online took a minute and the confirmation came the same afternoon. The room is quiet, the table is warm, and nobody tries to sell you anything on the way out.
My midwife suggested prenatal massage in my second trimester. I was set up on my side with pillows and actually fell asleep. I came back every few weeks until the baby arrived.

Life happens, so changes are free up to 24 hours before your appointment. Inside 24 hours I charge half the session, because that hour usually can't be filled. Please arrive five minutes early on your first visit, and tell me if anything changes in your health between sessions.

Massage FAQ
Which massage should I book?
If you want to relax, choose Swedish. If you have tight, sore spots you'd like worked on, choose deep tissue. If you're not sure, book 60 minutes and we'll decide together after a quick chat.
Will deep tissue massage hurt?
It should feel firm, not painful. Some soreness the next day is normal, like after a workout. Tell me any time the pressure is too much and I'll ease off.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Massage may be HSA or FSA eligible when your doctor writes a letter of medical necessity, so check with your plan first. I'm happy to give you an itemized receipt to submit.
When can I have a prenatal massage?
From the second trimester on, with your doctor or midwife's OK. You'll lie on your side with pillows for support rather than face down.
What should I wear?
Whatever you're comfortable in. Most people undress to their underwear, but you can keep on as much as you like. You're covered with a sheet and blanket the whole time.
Is there parking?
Yes, there's parking nearby. Directions and parking details come with your confirmation, and let me know when you book if stairs are a problem.
