I've never had a massage!
Lee is very happy to take extra time with first time recipients to fully explain what the client can expect from their massage session. Lee's belief is that every first-time massage can be a positive experience if the mystery and unknown is addressed and explained prior to the start of the session.
Does all that extra attention deduct from my time on the table?
Lee believes that a one-hour massage should be just that...60 minutes of hands-on table time. So, unlike other practitioners, Lee does not count intake interview, question and answer or explanation time as part of the client's paid massage. Your massage session begins when Lee makes physical contact with you and ends 60, 90 or 120 minutes after that (depending on how much time you've opted for).
Will I have to take all of my clothes off?
No, the extent to which each client undresses depends entirely on his or her comfort level. Although most clients choose to disrobe completely for their session (to optimize the effectiveness of the massage techniques), it is neither required nor expected of anyone. Lee believes that any client who is experiencing anxiety about being in a state of undress for their session will not be able to fully relax and thus will not benefit from their massage. It is to that end that Lee encourages every client to disrobe only to his or her own personal level of comfort. Clients should be aware that, regardless of how much a person chooses to undress (or not), Lee always employs proper draping techniques during the entire session to ensure the client's warmth, privacy and modesty...only the body part being massaged is uncovered at any time during the session.
Can I get cupping or hot stone massage at Four Winds?
Although he is trained and experienced in both of these modalities, Lee eschews the use of tools during massage (except for when providing Gua Sha). He believes that skin to skin/person to person contact is far more meaningful and effective than any other type of bodywork.
No, because Four Winds Restorative Grounds is a private practice, Lee is the only therapist seeing clients at this facility. Although the field of massage therapy is predominantly the domain of female therapists, most clients are surprised to find that there is little, if any, difference between receiving a massage from a male or female therapist. Regardless of the recipient's age or gender, Lee is committed to ensuring that every session is a safe, non-judgmental and nurturing experience for every client.
Are there age limits regarding who can receive a massage?
Absolutely not. Lee believes that massage is an important experience in every life and provides age-appropriate therapy to clients ranging from infants to the elder members of our society. The only age-related condition Lee observes is that any client under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present to sign the consent form.
Does Lee make house calls?
Outcall (in home) massage is not available from Four Winds primarily because the unique massage experience that RavenCrow offers cannot be duplicated outside of his home office.
