Thank you for sharing bodywork with your loved ones and supporting small micro businesses like mine!
Do you offer sliding scale rates?
Yes. Please read more about my sliding scale here.
Do you accept tips?
My practice is gratuity free. Prices are all-inclusive. The price you see listed on my website is the price you’ll pay for your service. I would much rather you put the money you would spend on a tip towards your next treatment. If you insist on leaving a tip, please consider doing something from the list below. These “tips” won’t cost you anything (except the last one) and will support my practice to grow. Thank you!

A little back story: I’ve always felt awkward when it comes to tipping. So even though it’s not the standard in the industry, I no longer take tips. You pay the listed price. That’s it. I know who is charging what in this area. $120 for an hour, straight up with no tipping is on the average to low end of the scale. Read more here: This is what you get from a $120 massage.
Do you offer cupping, gua-sha or other add-ons?
Yes! When booking your appointment online, you can select from a list of “add-on” modalities to customize your bodywork session. Most add-on modalities are integrated into your bodywork session free of charge. I call them add-ins because I will add them into the session without extending the length of the session.
Additionally, I offer two add-on modalities that add more time to the session in exchange for a fee.
Current add-in modalities (added into a session, free of charge):
- myofascial cupping
- gua-sha or scraping
- aromatherapy
- CBD oil/lotion
Current add-on modalities ($20/15 minutes)
- Energy balancing
- Craniosacral therapy
What forms of payment are accepted?
I accept payment via cash, check, Venmo, Zelle, HSA cards, all major debit/credit cards, and pre-paid gift cards.
To create ease at checkout and to reduce no-shows, a credit card is needed to book an appointment. Credit cards will not be charged until the time of the session.
Please consider paying via cash, check, bank transfer or Venmo due to increasingly high credit card processing fees! Thank you!
What is your rescheduling policy?
24 hours please. If you need to change or cancel your appointment, please notify me at least 24 hours in advance. (More notice is always appreciated.) With less than 24 hours notice of cancellation, there will be a fee due equal to half of the scheduled appointment. The fee must be paid prior to rescheduling another appointment. Clients who no-show or late cancel (within 20 hours of their appointment) will be charged in full. Last-minute cancellations cannot be refunded or used as credit.
Late arrivals. Please note that arriving late to your session may result in a shorter appointment so as to not penalize the clients booking after you. Clients who are over 20 minutes late will be asked to reschedule their appointment, and will be charged the full fee for the session.
Tara is amazing! She has kept me upright and mobile for the past 4+ years. She has a calm quiet manner that pairs well with her healing touch. I greatly appreciate her knowledge, her empathy and her sense of humor. If you want a great massage, I highly recommend her!”
