The things people ask before booking.

Yes. We talk first — what hurts, what's going on, what you've tried — and then I work to whatever pressure you can actually receive. Nothing aggressive on a first session unless you ask for it.

If you're a first-time guest, the Foundational Restoration Session (90 minutes for $115) is built for this — longer than a standard session so we have room for a full clinical intake and an unrushed, unhurried session.

No front desk, no clipboard, no lobby. Walk up the side stairs to the second floor and in the door. If I'm wrapping up another session, you'll wait one or two minutes max. Then we talk for five minutes about what's going on, you get on the table, and we work.

Undress to your comfort level. Most clients undress fully and stay draped throughout — only the area we're working on is exposed at any given time. If you prefer to keep underwear on, that's totally fine. Chair massage and Zoku Shin Do sessions are fully clothed.

Most sessions are 60 or 90 minutes, with a 75-minute middle option available on request. If you're new, the 90-minute Foundational Restoration. After that, most regulars rotate the 60-minute Signature and reach for the 90 when something's flared up. Not sure? Call or text and we'll figure it out.

Always. You can ask for deep tissue, NMT, foot work, full-body relaxation, or anything else — we'll talk about it during intake. You can also just describe what's bothering you and let me pick the toolbox. Most clients do the latter once they've been in a few times.

60 minutes / $100. 90 minutes / $140. New-guest 90-minute Foundational Restoration / $115. Add-ons don't exist — the listed price is the price.

I don't bill insurance directly, but I'll provide an itemized receipt you can submit to an HSA or FSA. Most plans cover therapeutic massage with a doctor's note — happy to coordinate.

Credit card, Venmo, or cash. Whatever's easiest. Gratuity is appreciated but never required — the listed price is the price.

Six business hours' notice is appreciated — life happens, but late cancels strand the spot. Repeat late cancels get charged the session in full. You'll get one warning before it lands; I'm not trying to be a hardliner about this.

For clients under 18, a parent or guardian needs to be present in the room throughout the session. I'm happy to work with younger athletes recovering from training or post-injury, but the policy is firm.

Zoku Shin Do (足心道) - foot, heart, way: the heart of the feet, the way of the foot. It's a Japanese reflex-based footwork method, and one of the oldest forms of foot work there is. In its tradition, points on the feet map to the rest of the body, and working them systematically is meant to restore balance and circulation throughout the entire system.

Practically: methodical, reflex-based work on the feet, ankles, and lower legs. A session uses sustained pressure on specific reflex zones, targeted work on the soft tissue of the foot and calf, and slow, integrative passes that calm the nervous system. Clients on their feet all day, runners working through plantar fasciitis, and anyone whose tension lives below the knee tend to get the most from it.

I trained in Zoku Shin Do through the Lynch Advanced Bodyworks lineage. The full story is on the Zoku Shin Do page under Modalities.

Honestly, almost nowhere. The training is rare in the United States outside a handful of established lineages, and almost no Colorado therapists hold the certification. My Tiny Massage Studio in Fort Collins is one of the only practices in Northern Colorado offering it.

Modern Western reflexology mostly maps reflex points on the soles of the feet with thumb pressure. Zoku Shin Do includes that reflex work but goes further — sustained pressure techniques, soft-tissue work on the calves and ankles, and joint mobilization across the whole lower-leg system. The longer comparison lives on the Zoku Shin Do page.

Honestly: it depends on your needs, but we have options. The studio is on the lower level, but we have an exterior lift gate available for clients with mobility issues—we just need advance notice to get it ready for you! There is a very small lip or edge at the entrance door. Inside, our bathrooms are spacious and wide, though please note they do not have grab bars. If you have specific access needs, call ahead at (970) 279-1201 and we'll tell you straight whether the space works for you—or refer you to a colleague whose space does.

No couples sessions — one table, one room, one therapist. This is a single-therapist therapeutic practice, not a spa. If a true spa day is what you're after, I'm happy to recommend somewhere good in town.

Hot stone, on the other hand, is something I do offer — heated basalt stones worked into a session, mostly through the colder months or any time you ask. Just mention it when you book.
