Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How is it determined if Mary is the right fit?
The intake process includes a thoughtful discussion about your goals, preferences, and health considerations. After booking, I offer a complimentary phone consultation before your session to ensure my services align with your needs. If we decide your goals are outside my scope, I’m happy to recommend other trusted professionals.

2. Which service is right for me?
If you’re unsure where to begin, I can guide you through the benefits of each service. You’ll also find detailed descriptions on the service menu for further insight. Whether you’re interested in lymphatic drainage massage, Craniosacral Therapy, or Reiki, I am happy to help you choose the best approach for your current needs.

3. What can I expect at the first appointment?
Iridescence Healing Arts is located inside Sanctuary on the third floor of Thornes Marketplace in Northampton, MA. I’ll meet you in the hallway across from the elevator and welcome you into the space. The session begins with a discussion about your goals, areas of tension, and any questions you may have. If receiving therapeutic massage, you’ll undress to your level of comfort and lie under a sheet and blanket. I’ll knock before re-entering to ensure you’re ready. Music is optional at your discretion, and I always check in throughout the session to make sure you’re comfortable.

4. What is trauma-informed massage therapy?
This approach focuses on creating a safe, empowering, and collaborative experience. I emphasize sensitivity, clear communication, and client choice. Each step of the session is explained, choices are offered for verbal or non-verbal feedback, and our professional working boundaries are always respected—ensuring full body coverage except for the area receiving work at that time.

5. What does it mean to undress to my level of comfort during a massage?
You can choose to remain fully clothed, wear minimal clothing, or disrobe completely—whatever feels right for you. I’ll adapt the session to your choice, ensuring that only the specific area being treated is uncovered at any time.

6. How do I prepare for my appointment?
Hydration, light nourishment, and comfortable clothing help create a relaxed experience. Arriving a few minutes early allows you time to settle in and ensures we can begin promptly.

7. What aftercare is recommended?
After your session, I’ll offer personalized aftercare suggestions. In general, staying hydrated and allowing yourself time to rest are helpful. Gentle activities and quiet environments are especially beneficial following energy work and lymphatic massage.

8. What are the payment and gratuity options?
Cash and checks are preferred; credit/debit cards (through Square), PayPal, and Venmo are accepted. Gratuity is appreciated but not expected. Sharing positive experiences through reviews on Massagebook.com and Google or referrals is a wonderful way to show your appreciation. Referrals earn $5 off your next session!

9. Does Mary accept insurance?
I don’t accept insurance at this time, but I can provide an invoice for those seeking reimbursement from their insurance provider. Policies vary, so it’s best to confirm details with your provider.

10. How can I get in touch with Mary before an appointment?
Feel free to reach out via email at iridescencehealingarts@gmail.com, by phone or text at (413) 437-0898, or through messages on MassageBook.com. I’m happy to answer questions or provide additional information. Se habla español.
