New Client Information
JF Bodywork is accepting new clients on a limited basis from a wait list.
I’m currently able to welcome approximately one new client each month, while typically receiving 5–10 requests to join my waitlist during that same time. I truly appreciate your interest in working with me, but due to schedule constraints it will likely be 3 months or longer before I’m able to offer appointments for new clients.
If you are hoping to start incorporating massage into your life sooner than that, I recommend checking out one of these great massage therapists!
In the meantime, you can fill out this form to join my new client waitlist!
If you are a new client who has received a gift certificate, please email Jae directly.

Relaxing and safe bodywork to help pregnant clients.
Bodies undergo many changes during and after pregnancy. For many people, massage is safe throughout! Massage can help with a broad spectrum of elements: from pain or tension of physical changes to the need for stress-relief and rest.
Bolsters are used to comfortably position clients in reclining and side-lying positions throughout their massage.
Available to pregnant clients with doctor's approval.
SESSION LENGTHS:
60, 75, or 90 min

Lower-cost massage sessions for anyone, subsidized by tips.
“Pay-what-you-can” prices vary person to person, day to day.
But generally speaking: how much can you pay for your session without it being an obstacle to meeting your other basic needs?

what is massage like?
massage to slow down
We start by communicating safety to your body.
Using calm, slow pacing, your massage is shaped to allow your body to rest and enter a parasympathetic state.
help you body relax
Working with sustained pressure and intentional techniques allows your body’s myofascial system time to shift pain and tension patterns.
Your session can help you feel more relaxed and embodied. Together we will interrupt pain and tension patterns, giving you more comfort and ease in your daily activities.
customized for you
Your needs, health & injury history, and goals are the guiding forces.
Every session is a collaboration. Every session is unique.

Yes, there may be times when receiving massage therapy would not be safe or helpful.
Active infections: massage is not advised if you currently have an active infection - respiratory (cold, flu, etc), skin infections, or anywhere in your body.
Certain conditions will require approval from your primary care physician to book your massage. These include: pregnancy, cancer.
Some conditions may require adaptations to your massage treatment, possibly avoiding certain body parts or adapting pressure or techniques used. These include: pregnancy, unmanaged high blood pressure, recent injuries or surgeries, compromised immune system, acute liver or kidney disorders, acute autoimmune disorders, surgical implants, advanced diabetes.
Your safety and health is the highest priority. I will communicate fully if there are any reasons massage is not advisable, or if we need to get approval from your doctor. If massage is not appropriate for you at a certain time, we can always make a plan for future treatments or talk about other safe, therapeutic bodywork or movement practices.
If you're unsure if massage is safe for you, contact Jae to talk it through!
about your

-
Intake: you and Jae will get to know each other by talking through your paperwork planning your session together
Settling in: Jae will leave the treatment room for you to undress to your comfort and lay on the table
The session: Jae will communicate throughout the session about what is happening and how you are feeling. Different modalities and techniques are used in all sessions to try to address pains, ease tensions, and help you feel more centered and grounded.
After: Jae will leave the treatment room for you to transition back into time and space. Once you are dressed and ready you can meet her outside the treatment room to check out and book your next session.

Clients are not required to wear a mask.
If you are feeling well but have been around people who have been sick, it is very helpful if you wear a mask to your session. As a massage therapist, if I get sick I need to cancel all my appointments so as not to endanger my clients. Thus getting sick means I lose income. I appreciate your consideration in this matter!
If you are not feeling well, please reschedule your appointment!
-
Please plan to arrive 5 minutes before your appointment time, so that you have time to settle in, and we can check-in while still starting your session on-time.
Life happens! If you are a few minutes late you will still be able to receive your full length session.
If you are more than 20 minutes late and do not notify me, I retain the right to consider that a no-show and charge you a fee. It is up to my discretion whether we proceed with a shortened session.
