Frequently Asked Questions
What is parking like at your location?
There is ample parking at my location. You may park on the street, in either of the lots behind my building, or in the public lot across the street.
What are your hours?
I currently see clients in my Louisville, CO office from 10am-6pm Mondays and Fridays. I have some flexibility in scheduling in-home post-partum sessions and remote sessions, so contact me directly if you’d like to arrange these sessions outside of hours you see available in my online scheduler.
Do I need to bring anything to my sessions?
Not really. If you’re taking supplements/medications, I sometimes suggest bringing a list of those, if your goals are more health-related. I also suggest you complete my health questionnaire online prior to your session so that session time can be used to focus more in depth on your goals and needs.
Will you come to my house for sessions?
Yes! Post-partum sessions are offered in your home and in fact, it is my preference to have these sessions in your home, so that you can stay your new mama cave. Healers have been doing this work in their living rooms, kitchens and backyards for centuries. In keeping with this tradition, I am available in your home. For sessions in your home, you need to provide only the physical space- with enough room to move around the massage table and an electrical outlet. While I am open to offering Womb Healing in your home, I ask that your first session is in office so we can get comfortable with one another before transitioning to your home. I am also open to teaching self-care womb massage workshops in your space, with a minimum of four attendees present. Contact me directly if you have something in mind.
Will I be undressed during my sessions?
During your sessions, I will generally invite you to lay on the massage table, much like you would in a traditional massage with a massage therapist. You are welcome to undress to your comfort level. Oils are used during sessions, so please be conscientious of this if leaving on undergarments. Many clients choose to be nude and be draped to their comfort level with a sheet.
Can I come in for just one session?
Healing takes time. Because of this, I generally suggest a minimum of six sessions over three months. This amount of time is suggested because this is generally the amount of time it takes to see real, sustainable progress. I am invested in your healing and hope that you are able to make a similar investment in yourself. During your first session, you and I will discuss a reasonable timeline for your healing based on your goals and concerns being addressed. Because of this, I generally suggest booking a package to address your treatment goals. Packages can be purchased prior to your initial session or afterwards for ongoing care.
Can I schedule both Womb Healing and Psychotherapy with you?
I’m sorry, but no. Due to regulations in the State of Colorado, clients must choose, prior to their first session, which way they’d like to receive support while working with me. I am happy to have a free-15 minute phone consultation with you if you are not sure which type of healing work might be the most beneficial given your goals. If you are on the fence, I generally suggest body work- we always have the option this way for more verbal processing and won’t have the same limitations as in psychotherapy sessions. Not all womb healing sessions need to include table work, if you are needing more verbal support during a given day.
Can I receive Womb Healing if I’m pregnant or trying to concieve?
Yes! Womb Healing is highly supportive of those trying to conceive (TTC) as it encourages good blood flow and alignment of the womb. I also offer prenatal healing work to those already pregnant. Womb Healing can be deeply supportive during pregnancy, particularly for those who are experiencing pressure in the abdomen that might cause frequent urination or indigestion. Generally prenatal healing sessions include connecting with your baby and healing touch, aimed at creating space for your growing belly.
Can I bring my baby to my session?
Yes! You are welcome to bring your newborn to your post-partum session. I generally suggest that someone else be present to support the baby, so that you can really focus on your healing. Realistically, this is not always the case. Baby’s often need to breastfeed during sessions and other family members can’t always be around to help out. While sessions with childcare typically go deeper, we will still tend fully to your healing if your little one is present. I suggest that you attempt to feed your baby immediately before the session, or as we are talking at the beginning of the session. That way your baby will hopefully allow you more uninterrupted time on the massage table prior to needing another feeding or changing.
Is your work only for women?
At this time I work only with those identifying as women and those who have wombs. This often includes gender non-conforming and transgender clients who are wanting this type of support. This work can also be immensely supportive post-hysterectomy.
What’s your cancellation policy?
Because I have limited availability, I request that cancellations be made 48 hours in advance. At the time of booking, a $50 deposit is retained to reserve your appointment time. Should you need to cancel within the 48 hour window, this deposit is retained. If you have already paid in full, the remainder of your session fee can be refunded or applied towards a future session.
Are there any contraindications for this work?
Nope! Plenty of the practices I do have contraindications individually, but we will go over your health history before we begin working on the table together to assess these. They include stuff like: an active infection, IUD use, and certain cancer diagnoses. You can absolutely still work with me if you have any of these, there are just certain techniques that will not be practiced on you. Overall, my greatest work is to allow you to feel seen and held, while becoming more in tune with your own body - that is perfect for those with a challenging diagnosis.
