If you made your appointment online, you are able to make changes yourself. You may also text or call 415.494.1307. Please respect our 24-hour notice policy... I understand this isn't always possible as unforeseen issues come up; please reach out to me as soon as you are able and we will get you rescheduled. 

Your health and the health of all of our clients matters to us. To ensure that all of our clients are treated fairly and are able to receive treatment in a timely manner, Branches of Being, LLC asks that you provide at least 24-hours notice if you need to change, reschedule or cancel your appointment. If you change or reschedule your appointment without providing us with 24-hours advance notice or fail to keep your appointment you will be charged a fee of $50.

Though individual results may vary, the body's innate wisdom is to heal itself. Massage is a tool to help heal. Whether it's an injury, stress, illness or simply to take well deserved time for yourself, the benefits of massage can be life changing. 

You will reap the benefits of massage if it becomes a regular part of your life along with healthy mind/body/spirit practices. My goal is for us to work together to take better care of your health, long-term. I would be honored to take that journey with you. 

For sessions that use oil or lotion, the client will undress to the level of comfort and be covered with a sheet & blanket. For Thai, Abdominal Therapy, Cranium Care, infant/toddler/child/teen & BE Embodied, comfortable clothing is recommended.

Communication is key. I need to know what you're feeling, experiencing and what you're looking to gain in order to best help you. In turn, I will explain the treatment and what you can expect to gain from it. 

While it may not be possible to shower right before your session, please be as mindful and as respectful with your hygiene as possible when you come in for your session.
