Preparing for your massage entails a couple things.

• Please be showered or clean. If you do shower before the session, skip washing your hair for the shower after your massage. Extra points if you moisturize your skin regularly.
• Please drink plenty of water the day before your session. You can drink water the day of but for the best results you want to be as hydrated as possible.  Not being hydrated enough will keep the tissue sticky and your results won't last as long. Water will be provided for you while you are at the salon, but feel free to bring in your water bottle.
• Please show up 5 to 10 minutes before your session to chat about any health updates.

I require 72 hours notice to cancel your session. 3 days is a lot, but if I get a cancellation on a weekend day or a day off, I can then have a couple business days to reach out to clients to fill the spot instead of scrambling.

Sickness is something we can't control, and I certainly don't want to get sick, so if that is the case please reach out to me as soon as possible. Even if it's just a weird tickle in the back of your throat. Please let me know and we will reschedule you.

I personally do not like driving in the snow and if there is more than 4 inches predicted, I will reach out to cancel.  If it's less than 3 inches predicted, and you still don't feel comfortable driving in, my cancellation policy is void and you may cancel without a fee.

Polarity therapy is a holistic approach that balances energy in the body, enhancing physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being through gentle touch and energy work. These sessions are as somatic as you allow them to be. Your openness detemines the emotional depth of the session.

I am working out of Shear Joy Hair and Body Salon at 408 Walnut Hill Road in North Yarmouth, Maine. 

The Salon, set back from the road features two sheds at the end of the driveway with a couple parking spots in the front of the salon.  The driveway wraps around the salon and provides plenty of overflow parking.

We have an entrance in the front and the back of the salon, with a wheelchair access ramp.

I am trained in and provide Swedish massage with deep tissue and modalities such as cupping.

My sessions typically range from 60 minutes to 2 hours, allowing ample time for relaxation and therapeutic benefits.

Yes, appointments are by appointment only.
