GOOD TO KNOW
Your first visit, made simpler.
How do I book?
Choose Book a Massage, select a session and time on Square, and submit your request. I review booking requests before confirming them and will contact you if another time is needed.
What should I do before my first visit?
Complete your intake form before your appointment. Square offers a “New Client- Intake Form” option that emails the form to new clients and those whose intake is more than a year old. Check your spam folder if it doesn’t arrive, or text me for help.
If you still need to complete paperwork, arrive 10 minutes early. Use the northeast entrance at Rooted, ring the doorbell, and park on the north or west side.
What should I wear, and how is draping handled?
Undress only to your comfort level; you may keep clothing on. Professional draping keeps you covered. Let me know your preferences for pressure, positioning, and quiet time.
Do I need a consultation first?
A separate consultation is optional for general massage. Geriatric massage includes an initial phone intake with you or a caregiver. If you’re under a physician’s care or have questions about access or positioning, contact me before your appointment.
What if I need to cancel or arrive late?
Please give at least 24 hours’ notice when canceling. Late cancellations and missed appointments may incur a session charge; review the terms shown in Square before booking. Late arrival may shorten your session without reducing the price.
Text Summer for help choosing a session
If you’re currently under a physician’s care, I recommend we talk before your appointment. I may need a doctor’s note to make sure massage is appropriate for you.
