Frequently Asked Questions

It's important to me that you know what to expect from your massage experience, so I’ve compiled this list of the questions new clients often ask. If you don't find the answer you're looking for, contact me.

What are your credentials?

AMTA Certification #80886

What's the difference between a Swedish and Deep Tissue massage?

Swedish massage is your regular relaxation massage that will put you to sleep, usually in the medium range of pressure (but always suited to your liking).

A deep tissue massage is more for pain relief and focuses on those tender areas you have been ignoring. I often hear people say “It hurts good”. With the right attention from me, those achy areas will feel harmonious again.

What products do you use?

During your massage your body will be pampered with my hand-blended essential oils that relieve tension and pain. These aromatic oils have a warm and calming scent that will help you ease into your journey of relaxation.

What is exfoliation?

Exfoliation is the process of rubbing a part of the body with a substance that helps to remove dead skin cells. My gentle exfoliation treatment is performed using my handmade signature brown sugar and coffee scrub. This allows the essential oils used during your massage to penetrate even deeper into your skin. In addition to exfoliation being a luxurious experience, it also increases the skin's radiance and youthfulness by unclogging pores, boosting circulation and helps remove acne. This treatment is great for people experiencing back acne or eczema.

Exfoliation is not recommended for areas with open wounds or irritations.

Do you massage men?

Yes! My training and years of experience have taught me techniques that allow my clients of all genders, ages and body types to experience the benefits of massage. I specialize in deep tissue yet am able to tailor the pressure to suit your preference.

What are your safety procedures?

While relaxation is a major priority for Fruitful Touch, your health and safety are as well. Fruitful Touch is committed to keeping you safe and well by using the following practices:

Cleaning and disinfecting massage tables, headrests, and tools after each use.
Washing sheets and headrest covers after each use.
Hand washing and hand sanitizing regularly during and in between massage services.
Staying up to date with best practices for massage therapy with the American Massage Therapy Association.

Where do I get my massage?

You'll enjoy your massage experience in a private residential space. My facility is welcoming, cozy and most importantly peaceful. It's an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Can I make a special request or change to the service I booked?

Maybe. Fruitful Touch is unable to accommodate request that are not discussed in advance. Please reach out via email at least 24 hours before your appointment with your request.

For example, adding time to your massage or changing the type of massage you've requested may be possible. However at least 24 hours advance notice is required in order to check my schedule and complete any price adjustments on your booking.

What if I need to reschedule?

What is your late arrival policy?

Traffic is a part of Los Angeles, and I know emergencies happen too. If you are going to be late, please text me to let me know. You will be provided with my number when your appointment is confirmed.

What is your refund policy?

Unhappy with your Fruitful Touch massage?

If I complete half of your massage and you find that my touch is not the right fit, you will receive a full refund.

If I complete the entire massage and you find that you are unhappy, you will receive a partial refund.
