1. Communication – Making sure I understand the issue you’re facing, and that you feel comfortable to speak up throughout the massage. A good therapist will check in with their client to ensure that the desired pressure, and areas are being massaged. It is important that the client addresses their preferences throughout the massage, and should not feel hesitant to direct their relaxation.
2. Full Attention – While massaging, I give you my full attention. I am listening to your body react to my pressure, and adjusting to your body’s unique qualities. Prior to a session, I focus on clearing my mind to heighten my sense of touch, and ensure I am not dwelling on other thoughts. When I am totally focused on a massage, I am able to map the tension and better address the specific issue from origin to insertion.
3. Compassion – My approach to massage works with your nervous system to relieve your tension. To achieve this, I apply each touch with intention, and work with the body to reach deeper layers of muscle. Touch without intention often results in an unsatisfied client due to a robotic style therapist. Every person is different, and I accept all of my clients as they are, and respect any requests they may have, my job is to help them and to do that I must be compassionate.
4. Rejuvenation – I strive for each client to have the opportunity to relax and let their stress melt away during their session. I achieve this by using calming techniques integrated throughout the massage, providing a deeper experience. My best sessions are those in which the client and I are consciously working together through the massage techniques to increase their effects and bring awareness to their bodies.
5. On-Site – I deliver the massage to you, so that you may relax on your terms. While some use massage to start their day, others like it to help them wind down, either way I aim to be available for your morning or evening. I understand that some clients cannot make it out of their homes, while others may struggle to relax outside of their home. Whatever the case may be, I will drive almost anywhere between Austin and San Antonio to assist you with your wellness goals.
I hope my core values give you some insight into Maxfield’s Melting Massage, and I look forward to working with you in the future!
