Is it important to make time for massage therapy?
YES! We make time for what’s important. What’s your body telling you? Remember evening appointments are available, as well as weekends. New mom? No problem! I encourage you to bring your baby with you during your session.
I've heard massage is temporary. Is this true?
True: but everything you do for yourself physically is temporary. You enjoy food but get hungry again. You get a great night sleep but will get tired again. We practice regular hygiene and we don’t go weeks without brushing our teeth or taking a shower. One great workout doesn't last for months.
Our bodies have needs that require regular attention. Massage and other health maintenance tasks are indeed temporary, but that doesn’t mean they are not valuable. A headache, stiff neck, back pain, stress or other ailments do not go away on their own. Action needs to be taken to make it better. Massage is a natural way to help us feel good.
I've had a poor experience in the past. How is Ohana different?
Let’s fix that! Your session is all about you. Ohana strives to focus on your problem area and communicate to you about your pain and the pressure you desire. I’ll also educate you on your body and answer any questions you have. You’ll have 100% of my attention.
How should I justify the cost of massage therapy?
Healthy is not a luxury. It’s a necessity! Think of all the benefits: a good night’s sleep, pain reduction, stress relief, and feel good to do the things you enjoy! Remember, not every massage needs to be an hour.
In addition, Ohana Massage has invested a great deal in specialized training and continuing education in order to enhance the massage experience. Our massage therapy goes above and beyond the "basics", adding yet another layer of justification beyond improving your health.
Is getting a massage "weird"?
They don’t have to be weird. Massage therapists take pride in a professional experience to benefit your health. They have over 700+ hours of training. Massages are customized by you and your comfort level. Clients are welcome to remain fully clothed, partially clothed, or whatever makes them most comfortable. It is a safe, non-sexual environment.
Should I be concerned about my body?
Massage is for everybody and every body. It doesn’t matter how you look. It’s a safe and non-judgmental environment.
I feel guilty getting a massage. How can I justify the need?
It’s okay to care for yourself. If you feel guilty, you’re probably a caring person. Just remember….you can’t care for someone else until you take care of yourself.

Massage can also help specifically address a number of specific health issues. Bodywork can:

Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
Ease medication dependence
Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.
Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
Increase joint flexibility.
Lessen depression and anxiety.
Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
Reduce spasms and cramping.
Relieve migraine pain.
