Cancel or reschedule at least 48 hours before your appointment and there is no charge; call or text Jessie at (208) 410-4005. Changes with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged 50% of the session price, because that time was held just for you. The full booking policies are on the prices page.

Your session still ends at its booked time, because Jessie schedules other clients around it, so the minutes you miss come out of your massage. If you are running behind, a quick call or text helps her plan. Arriving a few minutes early gives you time to settle in.

Whichever suits you: pay ahead of time when you book, or after your massage.

No. Both are included in every session at no extra charge, whichever style and length you book. Jessie can use warm stones on tight areas and add essential oils chosen for calm or easier breathing. If you would rather skip either one, tell her and she will leave it out.

Reschedule if you have a fever, a contagious illness, a new injury, or a rash or skin infection where you want work done. Check with your doctor first after recent surgery, with a history of blood clots, or with a condition your doctor is watching. Tell Jessie about medications such as blood thinners.

Mild soreness for a day or two after deeper work is common, a bit like after a good workout. Drinking water and moving gently usually help. It should ease, not get worse. If you notice sharp pain or unusual swelling, call your doctor and let Jessie know so she can adjust.

Many people find regular massage eases muscle tension in the back, neck and shoulders, and tension headaches that start there. It is not a substitute for medical care, so see a doctor for sudden, severe or unexplained pain. For tension, deep tissue massage is a common choice.
