What to Expect

You do not need to know the perfect service name before you book. Tell us what is bothering you; we will assess and help you make a good start.

Whether you are coming in for a sore neck, skin care, waxing, or simply want to feel more comfortable in your body, your concern belongs in the conversation.

Your Body. Taken Seriously.

Start with what you know. We will listen.

We assess within our scope, explain the plan, ask for your consent, and adjust the visit to you. You can ask questions at any point.

Start with your concern.

You can start with what you are experiencing, even if you do not know what is causing it. These guides help you find a service without having to diagnose yourself.

Body & movement

“Something hurts or feels restricted.”

Neck or back tension, headaches with muscular tension, scars, training strain, or a concern that keeps returning.

Explore pain & movement concerns →
Skin & follicles

“My skin needs attention.”

Facial or body skin goals, breakouts, sensitivity, ingrown hairs, or irritation around hair removal.

02 / Find your starting point

Choose what to book.

Five ways to book. The care is individualized after we hear your concerns. If you need care over several visits, we can discuss a Restoration Care Plan after assessing you.

Clinical Massage

Book by time with Nichole, Sue, or Kerianne. We assess first, then focus on an area or work more broadly with extra time where you need it. NRT™ is the hands-on work within this service.

Myofascial Restoration

Sessions with Harris. If you know the term “myofascial release,” this is the service path. Harris uses a Myofascial Restoration approach; his work is distinct from Clinical Massage.

See Harris’s sessions →

Skin Restoration Therapy

Face and body treatments with Nichole or Lisa-Jo, including facials, back care, and body exfoliation. Share your skin goals and sensitivities so the visit can be adapted to you.

Clinical Grooming & Waxing

Choose the area you want treated. Waxing and follicular care have their own service line, with attention to comfort, sensitivity, consent, and aftercare.

Full System Restoration

A booked-ahead, two-hour body-and-skin visit with Nichole Cross, LMT, LA. Choose this when you already know you want bodywork and skin care in the same reserved visit.

The Services page has the current descriptions and prices. Online booking opens the practice’s booking widget; choose the corresponding service there.

03 / Make it yours

Choose your time and practitioner.

Several practitioners can be a good starting point for the same concern. Read about their work, choose the available time that fits, or ask us to help.

First Clinical Massage visit? We usually recommend 75 or 90 minutes when you can. It gives us room for your history, questions, consent, assessment, and meaningful hands-on time. A shorter visit can be appropriate when your concern or schedule is focused; contact us if you are unsure.

04 / When you are here

What happens at a visit?

The details change with your service and your goals. The standard stays the same: we listen, assess, explain, and ask for your consent as care unfolds.

  1. Talk first.Tell us what brought you in, what you hope will change, and any relevant history or sensitivities. It is okay to ask a personal question.
  2. Assess together.Your practitioner considers what is relevant within their scope and explains an initial direction. We do not diagnose medical conditions.
  3. Agree on the work.We discuss options and obtain informed consent. You can ask to adjust, pause, or stop at any point.
  4. Check in and plan forward.We use your feedback during the visit and discuss aftercare, a next step, or a referral when appropriate. Results and timelines vary.
The Human Restoration Method™ (HRM™) guides how we make decisions across services. Neuromuscular Restoration Therapy™ (NRT™) is hands-on work within Clinical Massage.
05 / Before your appointment

Prepare before you arrive.

Review Policies & Forms before your visit for appointment rules, health disclosures, informed consent, and other practice policies. The current policies ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule.
