Scheduling Tips for Myofascial Release
Weekly treatment, in the beginning, is strongly suggested for best results until you reach a maintenance schedule. I typically see clients once a week for 6 weeks. This frequency gives us the time needed to begin making changes to the body. As a partnership, we will discuss your treatment goals and options for achieving those goals in a timely and healthy manner. Multiple treatments in a small time frame are extremely helpful in quickening your progress.
The calendar is generally booked out 4 weeks or more in advance for appointments so it is recommended that you book at least 3-4 sessions so you do not have a large gap after your first appointment.
New clients are encouraged to book more than one session initially. Weekly treatment is recommended. MFR is not a ‘one and done’ approach so I recommend three treatments to know if MFR is going to be the therapy for you. If you decide MFR isn’t the therapy for you, you can cancel your other appointments as long as the 24-hour cancellation policy is respected.
Established clients are encouraged to stay on top of their appointments and schedule ahead so that they don’t miss a few weeks of treatment unexpectedly.

It is recommended that women bring athletic or loose fitting shorts and a sports bra or tank top, and men bring athletic or loose fitting shorts. No lotion or oil on the skin the day of your session.
Romiromi

Romiromi (Maori Bodywork) - 60 min - $125
Ro - the internal (organs) Mi - to agitate
Are you looking for something deeper? Romiromi is deep tissue bodywork. Pressure is applied using hands, elbows, knees, feet and raakau (wooden dowel) to stimulate haemata (pressure points) throughout the body to facilitate the release of tension, unblock energy and promote circulation. Romiromi is not gentle, feel-good bodywork. It is deep work. The intensity of the practice meets the needs of the receiver, sometimes feeling intense but always guided by love and intention. The goal is not relaxation but transformation.
Romiromi is not a massage and is performed with the client fully clothed. Please bring comfortable clothing that you can move around in.
