Massage by Lindsay

What matters most to YOU when choosing a massage therapist? I think every single one of these things matters when choosing a massage therapist and I completely understand why.

Price matters because self care should feel accessible, not like something you have to feel guilty about spending money on.

Location matters because if getting to your appointment is a hassle, it can make it harder to prioritize yourself!

The therapist definitely matters because you should feel comfortable, respected, listened to, safe and confident in the massage therapist working with your body.

Availability matters because life is really busy! Sometimes you need an appointment when you actually have the time, not three weeks from now.

Reviews matter because trusting someone with your body is a big deal. It’s completely normal to want to know what other people have experienced.

But here’s what I really want you to know:
I never want one of these things to be the reason you decide you don’t deserve a massage or that self-care isn’t for you.

If you’re worried about the price, ask.
If you’re unsure what type of massage you need, ask.
If you’re nervous because you’ve never been to me before, let me know.
If you have questions about what to expect, ask.

My goal isn’t just to get you on my table. It’s to make massage feel comfortable, accessible and worth prioritizing for you!

A little reminder about my $30 appointment deposit

When you book an appointment with me, a $30 deposit is required to reserve your spot.

As a mom, I often have to arrange childcare, set up a sitter and ask family and friends to take time out of their own day to watch my girls so that I can be there for your appointment.

Just like your time is valuable to you, the time I set aside for your appointment is valuable to me. When someone cancels at the last minute or doesn’t show, that is time I could have offered to another client as well.

Since putting this policy in place, I have not had a client no-show after paying their deposit and I truly appreciate that respect for my time. It allows me to keep my schedule organized and continue providing appointments to people who genuinely need them.

I specialize in:
• Deep Tissue Massage
• Myofascial Release
• Cupping
• Trigger Point Therapy
• Swedish/Relaxation Massage
• Prenatal Massage
• Hot Stone Massage

Cupping Therapy: More Than Just Those Circles

Ever wondered what those little cups are actually doing? Cupping is a technique I can incorporate into your massage session to help address areas of stubborn tension and tightness.

Cupping uses gentle suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues. This can help:

• Increase local circulation
• Reduce feelings of muscle tightness and tension
• Improve tissue mobility
• Support relaxation and recovery
• Address areas that feel especially stuck or restricted
• Complement deeper massage techniques without relying entirely on deep pressure

Those round marks you may see afterward are not bruises in the traditional sense. They’re temporary discolorations caused by the suction bringing blood toward the surface of the skin, and they generally fade over several days.

Cupping isn’t about how dark the marks get. The goal is how your body feels and moves afterward.

I love combining cupping with massage when it’s appropriate because sometimes your muscles need more than simply having pressure applied to them.

If you’ve been dealing with stubborn tightness, sore muscles, or areas that just don’t seem to loosen up, cupping may be something worth trying.

EDIT:

I feel the need to add a little clarification to this post because the comments have taken this in a direction I never intended.

This was simply a fun, educational post about what clients commonly call a “knot.” I get asked what a muscle knot is all the time, so I shared a simple graphic explaining the concept in terms that the average person (not necessarily a massage therapist or medical professional) can easily understand.

Somehow, that turned into people arguing with me over the science behind a meme. I’m completely open to respectful discussion and conversations about massage therapy, anatomy, and the limitations of the research. What I’m not interested in is being talked down to, insulted, or having strangers relentlessly argue with me over a social media post that was never presented as a peer reviewed scientific paper.

I understand that terminology and the exact mechanisms behind things like trigger points and muscle “knots” can be debated. That does not mean every simple explanation shared for the general public needs to turn into an attack on someone’s education, profession, or credibility.

So, if you disagree with the wording of the graphic, that’s okay. You’re absolutely entitled to your opinion. But please remember there is an actual person behind this business page.

I created this page to educate, connect with clients, and share my passion for massage therapy, not to spend my day arguing with strangers on Facebook.

Hell yes you can. 🙂‍↕️

Don’t wait until your body is screaming for help. Maintenance is often easier than playing catch-up!

Regular massage can be more beneficial than getting a massage only when something starts hurting because it works more as ongoing maintenance rather than just a temporary fix.

Regular massage vs. occasional massage

Occasional massage:
You may feel really good afterward, but if you only come in when you’re already very sore, tight, stressed, or uncomfortable, your therapist is often working to address problems that have already built up.

Regular massage:
Consistent sessions can help you stay ahead of that buildup and give your body more opportunities to relax, recover, and maintain mobility.

Some potential benefits of regular massage include:

• Less muscle tension: Regular work can help prevent muscles from becoming chronically tight.
• Better range of motion: Keeping muscles and surrounding tissues moving may help you maintain flexibility and mobility.
• Stress management: Massage can provide a regular opportunity to slow down, relax, and reduce physical tension associated with stress.
• Easier recovery: Massage can be incorporated into recovery from exercise, physically demanding work, or everyday activities.
• Better body awareness: Regular sessions can help you notice where you’re consistently holding tension before it becomes a bigger issue.
• Maintenance of problem areas: If your neck, shoulders, back, hips, or another area tends to give you trouble, consistent sessions can help you address those areas rather than waiting for a flare-up.
• More personalized treatment: Over time, your therapist gets to know how your body responds and can adjust techniques based on what you need that day.
• A consistent self-care routine: Instead of waiting until you’re completely worn down, massage becomes part of taking care of yourself.

One important distinction: regular doesn’t necessarily mean weekly. The ideal frequency depends on your goals, activity level, stress, budget, and how your body responds. For some people, every 1–2 weeks may make sense; for others, monthly maintenance is enough.
