Laying of Hands Massage Therapy is created with women in mind; especially mothers, expecting mothers, and those in every season of womanhood who need space to rest, restore, and be cared for well. Each session is intentionally designed with your comfort, individual needs, and whole-body well-being at the center, including the unique support the body requires during pregnancy.
While my heart is to serve women of faith, you do not need to be Christian to receive care here. Every client is welcomed with respect, dignity, and warmth.
The name Laying of Hands comes from Mark 16:18, where Jesus speaks of healing through the laying on of hands. I approach this work with reverence and care, inviting peace, stillness, and grounding into every session. For those who desire it, prayer, quiet encouragement, or faith-based support can be included in a way that always feels comfortable and honoring to you.
Massage therapy can help ease stress, reduce pain, support circulation, and create deep rest for both body and mind. For pregnant women, it can also help relieve common discomforts such as back pain, hip tension, swelling, and overall fatigue, offering space to feel more supported and at ease in your changing body.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll step into a calm, nurturing environment where skilled therapeutic care meets gentle restoration. Whether you are navigating pregnancy, recovering postpartum, or simply carrying the weight of daily life, Laying of Hands Massage Therapy offers a space to be cared for, strengthened, and renewed.

At Laying of Hands Massage Therapy, I believe the body is designed for restoration and that intentional, skilled touch can support healing, relief, and renewal. Rooted in a faith-informed approach and a deep respect for the body, our philosophy is to create a safe, peaceful space where clients can release tension, be fully cared for, and experience rest in body and mind and spirit.

No. I warmly welcome everyone. While my practice is faith-rooted in its foundation, prayer is never imposed. Your session is always guided by your comfort, preferences, and boundaries.
Only if you request it. Some clients appreciate incorporating prayer, while others prefer a completely quiet, clinical, or conversational experience. I always follow your lead and fully respect your preferences.
Laying of Hands Massage Therapy is faith-rooted and Christ-centered in its foundation, but it is not exclusive. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, and every session is provided with professionalism, care, and respect.
This is a therapeutic, restorative experience designed to support both physical relief and nervous system regulation. I tailor every session to your body’s needs with a focus on pain relief, relaxation, and whole-body restoration.
I offer fully customized sessions that may include therapeutic massage techniques, deep tissue work, relaxation-focused bodywork, and prenatal massage depending on your needs.
Yes. I will soon be incorporating hot salt stones into sessions as part of my therapeutic techniques at no additional cost.
These stones are used to support deep muscle relaxation, improve circulation, and enhance the overall restorative experience. Because they are prepared specifically for your session, I just ask that you let me know in advance if you would like them included so I can make sure they are properly warmed and ready for your appointment.
Yes. Many clients come to me for support with pain management, muscle tension, posture-related discomfort, and recovery. While massage is not a replacement for medical care, it can be a powerful complement to your overall wellness plan.
We will begin with a brief intake conversation about your needs and goals. From there, your session is fully tailored to your body. My intention is to create a space where you feel safe, relaxed, and deeply cared for.
Yes. I do accept tips, though there is no expectation or set amount. My pricing is structured to fully reflect the time, care, and therapeutic attention you receive during your session.
If you feel led to leave a gratuity, any amount is always deeply appreciated and received with gratitude. However, it is never required—your presence, trust, and decision to receive care are already valued deeply.
You will always be properly draped for comfort and privacy. Most clients undress to their comfort level, but you are welcome to remain within whatever feels safest and most comfortable for you.
Appointments require 24 hours advance notice for cancellations or reschedulin.
By booking an appointment, you authorize Laying of Hands Massage Therapy (LOH Massage) to charge your credit card a no-show/ late cancellation fee of 100% of the appointment price, should you miss your appointment or cancel without a minimum of 24 hours notice.
I recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early to allow time for intake, settling in, and using the restroom if needed.
Your session will begin promptly at your scheduled time. If you arrive late, your massage time will still end at the originally scheduled time so that I can remain on time for all clients.
I do not extend sessions for late arrivals unless additional time is booked and paid for. My schedule is intentionally structured and often fully booked, and this policy helps ensure each client receives their full reserved experience while also respecting the clients scheduled after you.
Yes. Prenatal massage is one of my specialties. I also work as a doula, which informs the way I support expecting mothers with an added level of understanding, presence, and care. All sessions are adapted for safety, comfort, and your individual needs.
You can book directly through this website or contact me for availability.
Not at this time. While I do not currently offer cupping therapy, I am always continuing to expand my techniques as my practice grows. If cupping becomes available in the future, I will announce it to existing clients first.
