My Clients Are Important
You, as my massage client, trust me. I customize treatments based upon both your physical needs and preferences, down to every detail. These details include clinical assessment, methodology and techniques. These details also include aromas, oils, light, temperature, sound, time of day and more. Because of my lengthy experience and time treating people, I am highly aware of and very comfortable within the setting and seek to create that synergy of balance for each and every individual.
You will complete, a brief intake form regarding your physical condition. In addition to this, I pledge to take mental note of information you share as well as any personal preferences. Unwaveringly will remember these details with complete accuracy. That is how important each individual is to me.
The healing benefits of massage are personally addressed. I use my skill set and knowledge to create customized treatments. Often some degree of communication with the client during treatment is important so that I can fully address needs. My massage techniques are not of the cookie cutter” variety. I go beyond the basics. I push myself fearlessly during bodywork treatment. The client will begin or continue to heal, relax and calm. Interestingly, I have furthermore learned through experience how delightful and relaxing the results of giving massage are for me. It gives me a sense of balance and calm. This continually amazes me; I have grown to cherish it. Treating you, and you being treated by me, is a win-win situation!

”I was in dire pain and thankfully I turned to the American Massage Therapy Association website and found Robin. I was right on target picking Robin to call that morning. And not only did she describe herself on the website well, but her own website, as you can tell, was amazing forthright.
How many massage therapists are willing to start treatments at 5am?! Seriously. Robin is aware of this need— people have responsibilities and she makes the effort to accomodate.
I am now a regular client. Robin is amazingly intuitive about the human body and is able to treat me better than any massage therapist has done in the past. I have never experienced someone so insightful, not only with her work, but with her words and wisdom as well. Robin has many gifts and I am amazed at what she can pull out of her hat with each treatment. Call her today!” —Sam K. Huntington, NY
