Rates

My rates are based on a fairly wide sliding scale in order to help me balance valuing my time and also making some discounted sessions available to those who need them.

Here is a real quick self-assessment that will help you decide how to interact with my sliding scale:

  • How many people are you close to who have vacation homes or travel internationally? 
  • How many people are you close to who have been incarcerated or are unsheltered?

If you know more of the former than the latter, consider a higher end of the sliding scale.

If you know more of the latter, consider paying somewhere in the community range as you’re able. 

I encourage you to pay as high a rate as you are able while also allowing you to make massage a regular part of your budget and self care practices.

Rates for sessions:
Standard
Sliding scale

Additional options

Emergency relief / last minute (when available) – 2x rate

I am rarely available for for last minute scheduling, and almost never for new / unfamiliar clients. If you have a sudden unexpected situation that would benefit from massage, please include a note acknowledging that you’re willing to pay the last minute 2x surcharge, as well as your complete availability over the next 72hrs to facilitate scheduling.

In-home visits / palliative care massage – variable

In general, I don’t do in-home visits unless the client is physically unable to come to me. I’ve been honored to have some folks gift some of my care to help accompany one of their friends through his end-of-life journey, and have one delightful client who has Parkinson’s that I work with regularly. Rates vary with transportation logistics and client needs.

Special event chair massage:

$150 – 200/hr, 2hr minimum + transportation costs (including $30/hr for transportation time greater than 30mins)

Fees for transportation costs can be waived for all-day events.

Gift certificates

A gift certificate for a massage is a *wonderful* thing to share with someone that you care about, and I’m always honored when folks entrust their loved ones to me in this way. I ask that folks use the ‘standard’ or higher end of my sliding scale when purchasing gifts for others.

As of right now I don’t have an online gift certificate system, so the way to set this up is to send me the payment (cash, check, @venmo, $cashapp) and telling your friend that they’ve got a credit with me. 

Make sure to connect us via text & email, and ask them to please take a look over info including FAQ & policies before reaching out to schedule.

Review Policies, Guidelines & FAQ

Here’s what some of my clients have to say…

  • I felt so light and relaxed walking out of my first massage with JJ – like a new person! He carefully listened to me explain the nature of my back pain, and the massage perfectly targeted the areas where I have been experiencing discomfort. I loved the emphasis on breathing and the calm, non-judgmental environment he created – I could tell he has a positive regard for his clients and is passionate about massage and bodywork. He got the pressure just right and checked in often but not too often to see how I was feeling – it was a wonderful blend of relaxing and deep/therapeutic, and the assisted stretching aspect was a welcome addition. I felt very comfortable during the whole session, which is really important to me when getting bodywork, especially when starting with a new practitioner. JJ has a very gentle and respectful energy about him, which helped me feel relaxed. He even showed me some helpful self massage techniques to do at home. Highly recommend working with JJ!

  • Truly a great experience. I have had some health issues in the past and have made progress to get into a healthier space with my mind and body. JJ was thoughtful enough to check in throughout the appointment making sure to target my problem areas in the most effective and efficient way. I have not felt this euphoric from a massage in a long time! JJ was kind enough to end our appointment with aftercare stretches and tips to keep my body in peak condition until we meet again. 11/10 experience!! Will definitely be booking another appointment!

  • JJ was a pleasure to collaborate with when offering chair massage for our company holiday party. JJ thought of everything which really eased my planning and coordination stress! He is incredibly thoughtful and immediately had staff feeling at ease. JJ’s kindly manner made for a memorable event and his expertise meant that he provided individuals with takeaway tips to help them long-term. Thank you JJ – we hope to invite you back again!
