Session types & pricing
Not sure which to pick? Your first visit is always an Initial Appointment — it gives us time to understand your needs before the work begins.
90-minute or 120-minute session
Extra time for introductions, intake, and a conversation about your goals. You receive 60 minutes of hands-on massage in the 90-minute session, or 90 minutes in the 120-minute session.
Depending on session length
60-minute session
A focused session targeting one to two problem areas. While your whole body will begin to relax and unwind, a full-body massage isn't typical in this time. Best for returning clients who know exactly what they need.
90-minute session
A more generous amount of time to address two or more areas of concern while also allowing your therapist to release tension through the whole body. The most popular choice for clients with multiple areas of tightness or pain.
Massage modalities
Our therapists are trained across a wide range of techniques and will incorporate the approaches best suited to your session. If you'd like to request a specific modality, let us know when booking.
Acute injuries, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, motor vehicle accidents
Sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of muscles and connective tissue — breaking up scar tissue and releasing chronic tension.
Gentle, sustained pressure on specific areas where the nervous system and muscles interact, designed to help the body return to its natural state of balance and reduce pain.
A gentle approach to balancing the tension patterns of the body's connective tissue. As symmetry is restored, abnormal pressure reduces and pain decreases over time.
Deep manipulation of connective tissue to realign the skeleton and muscles, relieve gravitational strain, and allow the body to begin healing itself.
Negative pressure applied via silicone or glass cups to increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and enhance the effects of deep tissue massage and myofascial release.
A smooth tool is moved along lubricated skin to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue and increase blood flow — reducing chronic pain and inflammation.
Stress, anxiety, burnout, and resetting the body and mind
Long, flowing strokes and gentle kneading to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, and improve overall wellbeing. A foundational technique woven through most sessions.
A light touch can be felt deeply throughout the body. Highly effective in supporting the nervous system and encouraging whole-body relaxation.
Extremely gentle work on the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Improves central nervous system function and can help with PTSD, depression, and anxiety.
Deep, broad pressure applied with the therapist's feet while holding ceiling bars for support. Delivers an unusually even, broad pressure that hands simply can't replicate.
Pregnancy, post-surgery, lymphatic conditions, and clients with specific positioning needs
Supportive massage for clients at any stage of pregnancy or postpartum recovery. Your therapist is trained to work safely alongside the changes happening in your body.
Gentle manipulation to help lymph move through the body. Particularly helpful for swelling from illness, surgery, or medical treatment.
Passive movements applied to joints, muscles, and nerves to restore range of motion, improve function, and reduce pain — guided by your therapist on the table.
A full massage delivered while you rest on your side, supported by cushions and bolsters. Available for clients who are unable to lie face-down or on their back.
Acupuncture
Mend is home to Kimberly Mainwaring, a licensed Acupuncturist offering initial and returning appointments. Acupuncture works alongside massage therapy to address pain, support the nervous system, and promote whole-body healing.
Whether you're exploring acupuncture for the first time or continuing an existing practice, Kimberly takes the time to understand your health history and goals before your session begins.
Included when appropriate
The following may be incorporated into your massage at no additional cost. Let us know when booking if you'd like to request any of them.
Pain-relieving topicals applied to encourage accelerated healing and enhanced relief.
Diffused into the massage space or applied topically for added relaxation.
Applied heat to encourage deeper tissue relaxation and calm the nervous system.
A warm table from the moment you arrive — a small detail that makes a real difference.
