(Frequently Asked Questions)
​
1. What is a Private Massage Studio?
A private massage studio offers a peaceful, one-on-one wellness experience in a quiet and exclusive setting.
Unlike larger spas, your appointment is reserved exclusively for you. There are no crowded waiting areas or multiple therapists—just personalized care in a calm, private environment designed to help you relax, recover, and restore your well-being.
2. How should I prepare for my appointment?
Before your first visit, you’ll complete a brief health intake form so I can better understand your wellness goals and any areas that may require special attention.
After that, simply relax. Your session is designed to help you disconnect from daily stress and reconnect with your body.
3. How do I book an appointment?
The quickest and easiest way to reserve your preferred appointment time is through the online booking system. If you have questions or experience any technical difficulties, please feel free to text me at (415) 734-8741. If I’m with a client, I’ll return your message as soon as I’m available.
4. How is your private massage studio different from a traditional spa?
Traditional spas often accommodate multiple clients simultaneously with several therapists. My boutique massage studio is intentionally different. I welcome only one client at a time, allowing every session to be completely private, unhurried, and fully personalized. Your comfort, privacy, and wellness are always my highest priorities.
5. Is gratuity included?
Gratuity is not included in the service price.
While never expected, gratuities are always sincerely appreciated if you feel your experience exceeded your expectations. Your support means a great deal to my small independent business.
6. What payment methods do you accept?
For your convenience, I accept:
• Cash
• Venmo
Please note: Credit card payments are available only when your appointment is booked through the online booking system. Credit card payments are not accepted for in-person payment at the studio.
7. When should I arrive?
Please arrive approximately 5–10 minutes before your scheduled appointment.
If you expect to arrive significantly earlier, kindly send me a text message first, as I may still be finishing another client’s session.
8. May I shower before or after my massage?
Absolutely.
If you’d like to shower before or after your massage, simply let me know when scheduling your appointment so everything will be prepared for you.
9. Do you offer couples massages?
At this time, I specialize exclusively in one-on-one massage sessions.
This allows me to devote my full attention to each client’s individual needs and provide the highest level of personalized care.
10. Can I request a male or female massage therapist?
All massage sessions are personally provided by me. As an independent massage professional, my focus is on creating a safe, welcoming, and professional environment where every client receives attentive, therapeutic care tailored to their individual needs.
11. How often should I receive massage therapy?
Every person is different. Some clients enjoy weekly sessions to manage stress or physical activity, while others visit monthly for wellness maintenance. Together, we can determine a schedule that best supports your lifestyle and wellness goals.
12. I’m visiting San Francisco. May I book an appointment?
Absolutely—and welcome to San Francisco! My massage studio is conveniently located near Van Ness Muni Station and offers beautiful city views, creating a peaceful retreat during your visit. When booking online, please include both your mobile phone number and email address so I can contact you if needed.
13. Is it better to book online or text you directly?
Online booking is the fastest and most reliable way to reserve your preferred appointment time. If you choose to send a text message instead, please understand that I may be with another client and unable to respond immediately. During that time, your requested appointment could become unavailable if booked online by another guest.
14. Is parking available?
Yes.
Public parking is available within the building, along with additional street parking nearby. Please refer to the Parking Information page for detailed directions.
15. Do you accept walk-in appointments?
To provide every client with the highest level of personalized attention, all sessions are by appointment only. Advance reservations ensure your preferred time is reserved exclusively for you.
16. May I call you?
Because I personally provide every massage session, I am often unable to answer phone calls while working with clients. Please send me a text message with a convenient time for a return call, and I’ll be happy to contact you as soon as possible. To respect my clients’ uninterrupted experience, I do not accept marketing or solicitation calls.
17. May I leave a review?
Absolutely—and thank you!
As an independent massage studio, your reviews help others discover my services and support the continued growth of my business. If you enjoyed your experience, I would truly appreciate your feedback.
18. I previously received a massage from you at another spa. May I schedule directly with you?
Yes, absolutely.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with several respected wellness centers in San Francisco, allowing me to continue learning, refining my techniques, and expanding my professional experience. Today, I’m proud to welcome clients to my own private massage studio, where every session is thoughtfully customized to provide a relaxing, restorative, and highly personalized experience. I look forward to seeing you again.
