“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” – John Quincy Adams
Where are you located?
I am located at 600 1st Ave, Suite 325, inside the Pioneer Building in Downown Seattle, near the Pergola, the Underground Tour (Doc Maynards), the Trinity nightclub, and Marcela’s Creole restaurant. Please see the directions page for further instructions, including how to enter the building if the front gate is locked.
What are your hours?
Business hours are
- Tues 3pm to 7pm
- Wed 12pm to 8pm
- Fri 12pm to 8pm
- Sat 10am to 2pm
What are your rates?
My rate is $80 per hour. In appreciation of my wonderful clients, I’ve adopted the following transition policy:
Existing Clients (from 2011 and earlier):
- Existing clients will continue to enjoy the rate of $60 per hour for the remainder of the 2012 year. That is essentially a years notice of rate increase.
- Existing clients can pre-pay for as many sessions as they like in 2012, giving the opportunity of extending my previous rate even longer.
- Bulk-paid and pre-paid sessions do not expire and are exempt from rate increases, and are (as always) non-refundable.
What payment methods can I use?
I accept cash, checks, Paypal and Credit Cards through Paypal. Artful Touch does not offer billing services, so all payments are due at time of service.
Do you accept Insurance?
After much deliberation and experience, I do not accept private health insurance through Artful Touch and do not plan to in the future. I am happy to supply you with a receipt for your paid session which will enable you to submit your own insurance claims and enjoy your out-of-network massage benefits! I have many clients who do this successfully.
Do you accept tips?
I do happily accept gratuity, which is never expected or required.
Do you accept walk-in clients?
Artful Touch is a small, single-practitioner massage practice. I massage by appointment only and am unable to accept walk-in or very short notice appointments at this time. Please allow at least 24 hours when scheduling a massage.
I’m a new client, what should I expect?
I strongly believe that a good intake is essential to effective, efficient bodywork. For this reason I perform a thorough one-on-one intake process with first time clients which takes anywhere from 10 minutes to 25 minutes depending on the complexity and depth of your needs. This process is part of your session time. Session activities include manual therapies, intake, postural observation, as well as table work. For your convenience, I offer my INTAKE FORMS online. If possible, please print and fill out both two-page documents and bring them to your initial appointment.
What is your cancelation policy?
Cancellations of less than 48 hours notice incur a $40 fee. By requesting a massage session with me, you are agreeing to this policy. If I am able to fill your appointment time, I do not charge you, so the more notice you can give if something goes sideways, the better. Follow our facebook page for short-notice openings and cancellations.
