Skylar says:
I am honored by the trust given by my clients and try to create an environment in which you feel safe, listened to and free to communicate your needs to ensure you receive the best treatment and outcomes possible.
My approach has been developed partially through reflecting on my own experiences receiving massage. Many of which involved showing up and hoping for the best. Sometimes it was enjoyable, other times boring or downright unpleasant. I've experienced many massages with little regard for what I felt or noticed in my body. The practitioner was the professional who supposedly knew what was best and offered little communication about what they were doing, why or how I experienced it.
Every session is a co-creation with you. Tell me your goals and hopes for the massage along with sensory preferences around intensity, music volume and temperature and I’ll provide a range of possible options. During sessions your feedback is always welcome. Many clients report that this approach is a welcome change from what they are used to.
Further, I treat every client with the intent of building a long-term relationship. I really enjoy when I get the privilege of working with a client over a longer period of time, adapting the approach to the needs and seasons over a period of time.
