Services & Booking

Policies
What's your cancellation and rescheduling policy?
We need 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations or no-shows are charged the full appointment fee. This applies to regular appointments, packages, and gift certificates too. If you're running late, your session might be shortened but you'll still pay the full rate.
Do you accept HSA or FSA cards?
Yes! We accept Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards. Massage therapy often qualifies as a medical expense, making it a great way to use those benefits.
Good to Know
What should I wear for my sports massage or deep tissue session?
Undress to whatever feels comfortable for you. We use professional draping to keep you covered, but undressing fully lets your therapist do the most effective deep tissue work and stretching. You're always in control of your comfort level and we will adjust our work to accommodate.
How far in advance should I book?
Oscar's schedule typically fills a few days to a week ahead, while Maria's schedule fills quickly since she only works Tuesdays and Wednesdays. For best availability, book at least a few days in advance.
