Frequently Asked Questions


Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for massages?

We accept FSA and HSA debit cards for payment. You can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for massages. Please check the requirements of your account, which may include obtaining a medical necessity form from your doctor. Once you have the necessary documentation, we can create a customized plan based on your needs.

Do you accept insurance?

No, we do not accept insurance at this time. However, we can provide you with a superbill or itemized receipts that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

Do you provide itemized receipts?

Yes, we are happy to provide itemized receipts for your records. To ensure prompt service, please request a receipt from our admin staff or email us after each massage session. Note that requests for multiple receipts at once may incur a small fee. Thank you for your understanding.

What should I wear during the massage?
