Once a month, on purpose.
Most people mean to come back and do not. The membership turns good intentions into a standing appointment with a smaller number on it.
- 01One session a month, any treatment on the menu. Hot stone and the ninety-minute upgrade at member pricing.
- 02Rollover. Miss a month and the session waits for you, up to three deep. Nothing expires while you are paying.
- 0310% off extras. Add-ons, extra sessions, and gift cards for the person who needs this more than you do.
- 04First call on Saturdays. Members see the weekend book a week before it opens to everyone else.
Cancel anytime. Say so at the desk or send a text. No form, no fee, no phone tree.
Small mercies, added to any session.
Cupping
$25Silicone cups worked along the back or legs. Leaves rings for a few days; we will warn you before a wedding.
CBD balm
$20Applied where it hurts most. Made two towns over, unscented, and it stays on the shelf until you ask.
Scalp
$15Ten minutes of warm oil and slow pressure at the very end. People fall asleep. That is the point.
Fifteen more minutes
$30For when sixty was not enough. Book it ahead; the rooms run back to back.
Add-ons are added when you book or at the desk, never on the table. Nobody gets upsold face-down.
Five people, one table each.
All licensed, all here for years, none of them in a hurry. Ask for someone by name, or tell us what hurts and we will match you.
- Dana OkaforLMTDeep tissue and sports. The one the runners ask for. Owner, and here since the bakery let her have the upstairs in 2018.
- Marisol ReyesLMTPrenatal and postpartum. Side-lying certified, and entirely unbothered by kicking.
- Theo LindqvistLMTSwedish and hot stone. Slow hands, slower talker. Book him for the ninety.
- Priya RamanLMTLymphatic drainage and post-surgical recovery. Three local surgeons send her their patients.
- Ben CastellanoLMTSports and cupping. Six years as a physio aide before this. Speaks fluent hamstring.
New therapists join by working a month of Saturdays first. Nobody gets a room they have not earned.
Four things, said once.
- The intake form
- First visit? We text you a short form when you book. Five questions about injuries, pressure and where you carry things. Once, not every time.
- Arrive ten minutes early
- There is tea. The spare minutes are for you to stop moving and for us to start on time. Arriving late shortens the session, not the price.
- 24-hour cancellation
- Change or cancel up to 24 hours ahead by text or call, no questions. Inside that window we charge the full session; the room and the therapist were held for you.
- Gratuity
- Not included, never expected, always noticed. Most clients leave 18 to 20 percent at the desk, cash or card. Members tip on $89, if they tip at all.
“I came in with a shoulder I had been carrying since a move in 2021. Dana found it in about four minutes. I have been a member ever since, mostly out of gratitude.”

Booking is a conversation, not a widget. We would rather ask about your shoulder than make you tick a box.
