Everything you need to know before your first visit.
Whether you're deciding which session is right for you or simply wondering what to expect,
you'll find the answers to the questions I hear most often below.
If you don't see your question, I'm always happy to help.
If you're unsure where to begin, the best place to start is with what feels like your most immediate need.
If your primary concern is physical pain, tension, or limited movement:
Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork
If you're feeling emotionally overwhelmed, energetically depleted, or simply "off,":
Integrated Energy Healing
If you're looking for clarity, insight, or guidance through a life situation:
The Deep Read
If you're navigating ongoing health challenges and want additional insight into your body's energetic patterns:
Biofield Therapy
If you're ready to deepen your intuition, expand your developing gifts, or receive ongoing guidance:
1:1 Mentorship
What if this is my first visit?
Welcome. Whichever session you're coming for, my goal is to help you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive.
We'll talk about what brings you in, any pertinent health information, what you're hoping to gain from your session, and answer any questions you have before we begin.
Do I need to complete paperwork?
The only paperwork required is for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork, as I'm required by law to maintain a health history and informed consent for massage therapy.
When you schedule your appointment online, you'll complete your health intake electronically before your visit, so everything is ready when you arrive.
What should I wear?
Comfort is always the best choice.
For Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork, you'll undress only to your level of comfort and remain professionally draped throughout your session.
For Integrated Energy Healing, Biofield Therapy, The Deep Read, and 1:1 Mentorship, you'll remain fully clothed. Comfortable clothing is recommended so you can relax and settle into the experience.
What should I bring?
If you're coming for The Deep Read, you're welcome to bring a list of questions or topics you'd like guidance on. Many people also choose to record their session on their phone so they can revisit the information afterward, it can be a lot.
For all other sessions, there's nothing special you need to bring unless you'd like to share relevant medical information or anything you feel would help me better understand what you're experiencing.
Can I eat before my session?
Yes. There's no need to fast before your appointment. A light meal or snack beforehand is perfectly fine. Staying well hydrated before and after your session is also encouraged.
Should I shower before my massage?
Yes. It helps ensure a hygenic, comfortable experience for both you and your therapist and is part of maintaining a professional treatment environment.
If you're coming directly from work, exercising, spending time outdoors, or any activity that may leave you sweaty or with strong odors, please plan to shower before your appointment.
For additional information about Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork, including draping, cancellations, contraindications, and other important policies, please review the Massage Policies provided during the booking process.
When should I arrive?
Please arrive about 5 to 10 minutes early for your appointment. This gives you time to settle in, use the restroom and begin your session feeling relaxed rather than rushed.
Where are you located?
Wholly Light is located inside The Magnolia Collective in Severna Park, Maryland. See our Contact page for details & you'll receive the full address and arrival information in your booking confirmation email.
Where should I park?
Free parking is available directly outside the building, making it easy to arrive and head straight into the center.
Can I ask questions before I book?
Absolutely. If you're unsure which session is the best fit or have questions before scheduling, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to help you choose the service that best matches what you're experiencing.
What if I'm nervous?
That's completely normal, especially if this is your first therapeutic massage, energy session, Biofield Therapy session, or Deep Read.
From the moment you arrive, my goal is to help you feel comfortable and at ease. I'll walk you through the session, answer any questions you have, and create a space where you can simply relax and receive the support you came for.
Most people are surprised by how quickly they settle in.
What happens during a Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork session?
You'll be comfortably positioned on the massage table and undressed only to your level of comfort. We'll focus on the areas that are bothering you most, and I'll tailor your treatment using the techniques that will best support your body that day. Every session is personalized with the goal of helping you move more freely, comfortably, and with less pain.
What happens during an Integrated Energy Healing session?
You'll rest comfortably on the massage table while I work with your energetic system using light touch, and at times, no touch at all. You may notice the scent of Palo Santo, a weighted eye mask to help you settle in, and crystals placed on or around your body throughout the session.
We'll often chat briefly at the beginning as messages or impressions come through, then allow plenty of quiet space for you to simply receive. Before you leave, we'll spend time discussing everything that came up during your session, and you'll receive a personalized message card and grounding chocolate.
What happens during a Biofield Therapy session?
You'll remain fully clothed and relax comfortably on the massage table. Depending on your needs that day, your session may include a Biofield scan, a treatment, or both.
If a scan is performed, we'll review the results together, discuss what they may be indicating, and you'll receive a copy of your report to take home. You'll also leave with an individualized support tincture selected to complement your session.
What happens during a Deep Read?
We'll sit together in a comfortable, conversational setting while I begin sharing what I'm seeing, sensing, and receiving. The session unfolds from there, following what feels most important for you to understand right now.
Every reading is different. We may explore relationships, family dynamics, recurring patterns, life purpose, career, past lives, loved ones in spirit, or anything else that naturally comes forward. You're welcome to ask questions throughout the session, and many people choose to record it so they can revisit the information later.
What happens during a 1:1 Mentorship session?
Every mentorship session is personalized to where you are in your journey. Some sessions are conversational, while others include practical exercises, intuitive development, or working through the blocks that may be keeping you from moving forward.
Whether you're learning to trust your intuition, understand your gifts, or navigate your next chapter, each session is designed to provide personalized guidance, practical tools, and continued support that you can integrate into your everyday life.
Other Questions:
What if I need to use the restroom during my session?
No problem at all. This is your time, and your comfort matters. If you need to take a break for any reason, simply let me know.
Will everything I share remain confidential?
Absolutely. Your privacy is deeply respected. Everything discussed during your session remains confidential unless otherwise required by law.
What if I become emotional?
That's completely okay. Whether you're receiving bodywork, energy healing, a Deep Read, Biofield Therapy, or mentorship, emotions can naturally arise. If they do, you'll be supported with compassion and without judgment.
What might I notice after my session?
Every experience is different. Some people leave feeling deeply relaxed, while others notice increased clarity, emotional shifts, reduced pain, improved mobility, or a renewed sense of energy. Sometimes the biggest changes unfold over the next few days as your body and mind continue to process the session.
Is it normal to feel emotional afterward?
Yes. Whether it's from physical relief, gaining new insight, or simply allowing yourself time to slow down, emotions can naturally surface after a session. Give yourself permission to experience whatever comes up with curiosity and compassion.
Should I drink water afterward?
Yes. Staying well hydrated after your session is always encouraged. Water supports your body's natural recovery processes and can help you feel your best after massage, energy work, and Biofield Therapy.
Should I rest after my session?
If your schedule allows, yes.
Many people enjoy giving themselves a little extra space after their appointment. A quiet evening, a walk, journaling, or simply taking things a little slower can help you continue integrating the benefits of your session.
Will I receive anything to take home?
Depending on your session, you may leave with personalized recommendations, stretches, journaling prompts, crystals, a message card, a Biofield report, an individualized support tincture, or other resources to support your continued progress.
What if I think of more questions later?
That's completely normal, especially after a Deep Read or Mentorship Session. As you continue reflecting on your experience, new questions may come up. Write them down so we can explore them together during your next visit.
When should I book again?
That depends on your goals and what you're hoping to accomplish.
Some people schedule regular sessions as part of their ongoing wellness routine, while others come during specific seasons of life when they need additional support. If follow-up care would be beneficial, we'll talk about what makes the most sense for you before your session ends.
Will every session build on the last one?
Often, yes.
Whether we're working with your body, your energy, or your personal growth, each session provides a new opportunity to deepen your understanding and continue moving forward. Many clients find that the insights and changes from one session naturally become the foundation for the next.
What if I don't notice a change right away?
Every person processes a session differently. Some notice an immediate shift, while others recognize changes over the following days or weeks. Rather than looking for one dramatic moment, pay attention to the small differences. Sleeping more soundly, moving more comfortably, feeling calmer, thinking more clearly, or responding differently to familiar situations are often meaningful signs that something has begun to shift.
Can I book online?
Yes. All appointments can be scheduled online at your convenience. Simply choose the session that best matches what you're looking for and select an available appointment time.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept all major credit cards, cash, and HSA/FSA cards for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork when applicable.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not participate with insurance plans.
If you'd like to submit your Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork session for reimbursement through your HSA/FSA or other eligible plan, I'm happy to provide a receipt upon request.
Can I use my HSA or FSA card?
In many cases, yes. Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork is often an eligible expense, though every plan is different. Some providers may require a physician's referral or Letter of Medical Necessity before reimbursement, so I recommend checking with your plan administrator before your appointment.
What's your cancellation policy?
Appointments are reserved especially for you.
A minimum of 48 hours' notice is required to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Changes made with less than 48 hours' notice will be subject to the full session fee.
Please review the complete cancellation policy during the booking process.
Can I purchase a gift certificate?
Absolutely. Gift certificates are available and make a thoughtful gift for birthdays, holidays, celebrations, or simply letting someone know you're thinking of them.
Do you offer packages or memberships?
Yes. Packages and memberships are and will be available for those looking for continued support or a more comprehensive experience. Visit the Work With Me page for session options and to access the scheduler.
Can someone come with me to my appointment?
Most sessions are designed as one-on-one experiences.
For Integrated Energy Healing, The Deep Read, and Mentorship, another person's presence can influence the energy of the session and what naturally comes forward. For example, information that may have surfaced if you were alone may not arise if someone else is present. If you'd like someone to accompany you, we can discuss whether it makes sense for the type of session you've booked.
Guests are generally welcome during Biofield Therapy and Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork, provided you're both comfortable hearing any information discussed during the appointment. Please keep in mind that space in the treatment room is limited.
Can I book more than one session on the same day?
Yes, if scheduling allows.
You're welcome to schedule multiple services on the same day, and I also offer a Full Experience Day that combines Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork, a Deep Read, and Integrated Energy Healing into one immersive experience. You can find this offering on the scheduler accessed through the Work With Me page.
How far in advance should I book?
If you're hoping for a particular day or time, or you'd like to maintain regular appointments, I recommend scheduling well in advance or booking your next visit before leaving your current one.
My schedule often fills several weeks ahead, though cancellations occasionally become available and are reflected in the online scheduler.
Will everything I share remain confidential?
Yes. Your privacy is deeply respected.
Everything discussed during your session is kept confidential unless otherwise required by law. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can speak openly and feel comfortable sharing whatever brings you in.
Do you work with children?
Yes, I welcome children for select services when appropriate and with the consent and presence of a parent or legal guardian.
Because every child and every situation is unique, I encourage you to contact me before booking so we can discuss the most appropriate session based on your child's age, needs, and comfort level.
Still have a question?
I'd be happy to help.
If you don't see the answer you're looking for, please don't hesitate to reach out through the Contact page. My goal is for you to feel informed, comfortable, and confident before you ever walk through the door.
