What to Expect 

When you arrive for your first appointment, you will be asked to fill out a short intake form (You may want to arrive 5-10 minutes before your appointment).  In this case, it is only one page.  It will ask general information about you, why you are visiting today and your general medical history.  You want to be honest with any conditions you may have or medications you may be taking.  Don't be afraid to tell the therapist about any conditions NOT covered on the intake form.  

We want you to be comfortable during your session, but we also want you to be safe.  Please tell us about any medications or conditions no matter how trivial they may seem. 

Do not be concerned about what your therapist will think of your body; we have seen lots of people, and lots of conditions, we will never judge you for who you are. This includes shaving of legs or any other body parts.  

We do however, ask that you arrive clean, but freshly showered is not necessary unless you are excessively sweaty.  We also ask that you are not hungry when you arrive.  Choose a light meal or snack; nothing too heavy, greasy, or that might induce stomach discomfort. 

If you have any other questions or concerns about your appointment - first or fiftieth, feel free to call or text us at 505-600-1778.
