FAQ
What types of conditions can your wellness center help with?
Honestly? Tons. Chronic pain, anxiety, depression, hormone problems, fertility issues, digestive stuff your doctor can't figure out, insomnia the list goes on.
We're where you go when regular medicine isn't working or you want something besides more pills.
Real talk though, we can't fix everything. But we've had some incredible results with people who were completely desperate and out of options.
How does massage therapy support anxiety and depression relief?
OK so this sounds weird but your body literally holds onto trauma and stress. When someones anxious or depressed, there nervous system is stuck in freak-out mode constantly. Good massage can flip that switch to calm mode.
Can massage or bodywork really help with sciatica pain?
Hell yeah. Most sciatica is your piriformis muscle being an asshole and crushing your sciatic nerve. Our team knows exactly how to release it.
Warning , it might hurt while we work on it, but people usually leave feeling way better.
One client couldn't sit more then 10 minutes. Now she's back at her desk job with no pain.
What should I expect during my first wellness consultation?
Pretty chill. We talk for 20 minutes about whats going on. No judgment, we've literally heard everything. Then we figure out what'll actually help instead of just guessing.
Do you offer treatment plans for chronic pain or stress-related conditions?
YYeah cause one massage won't fix something you've had for months or years, lets be real.
Usually start weekly cause consistency matters, then spread it out when your improving. We're honest about timelines so you don't waste money.
Are your services covered by insurance or offered as self-pay only?
Mostly self-pay which sucks. Some insurance reimburses massage if your doctor prescribes it (yeah thats real). We give you paperwork to try. Also got payment plans cause healthcare shouldn't destroy your bank account.
How often should I schedule treatments for the best results?
Depends. Acute problem? Weekly or twice weekly usually works. Maintenance? Every few weeks. We won't lie about what you need, our reputation is getting results, not taking your money forever.
Do you combine holistic therapies with traditional medical care?
Totally. We're not gonna tell you to ditch your meds and only drink green juice. Our team works WITH your doctor. Actually we love when clients bring us into there care team cause everyone benefits when we communicate.
