Text: 515-240-0817

Do you use hypoallergenic oils?

Yes and no. I use an oil free massage / body work technique that is second to none. If the situation should arise and we need to use an oil then absolutely, I use either coconut oil or grapeseed oil. No synthetic junk like so many other places use. I also use mostly 100% cotton sheets and 100% pure essential oils if used.

What are your hours of operation?

Of course sessions are by appointment only but basically:

Sun – 1p-8p

Mon- 1p-8p

Tue – 5p-8p

Wed- 5p-8p

Thurs- Closed

Fri – closed

Sat – 6p-8p

It is always best to get a hold of me well in advance of when you want a session.

How much do you charge?

Please see the “Service Prices” page

How do I make an appointment?

The easiest ways are to text me @ 515 – 240 – 0817  You can email me : relax@olympicmassage.net

Massages are given in my home office on the south side of Des Moines

Can I use a credit card to pay for my massage?

Yes if you process through Paypal. They accept credit cards. Cash and Checks are accepted too. 

How often do I need to come back?

That’s pretty much based on an individual preference but many clients come to me once a week for several weeks initially, then space their sessions out PRN after that.

Do you have gift certificates?

You bet. You can get them in any increment you want.

Do you do lymphatic massage?

Yes I do. I’ve found it can help athletes rid their body of the metabolic wastes much faster than without intervention.

Can you tell me who some of your previous clients are?

No. That information is kept confidential unless I am given permission.

What is Traumassage ™?

Traumassage ™ is my own trademark name for the type of therapy I use on injured or recovering athletes (which pretty much describes all my clients). All massages I give are tailored on an individual basis but when a person is injured or recovering the focus is on accelerated healing and pain relief. This approach stems from my training in Naturopathy as well as massage.

How long have you been giving massage?

Since the 1970s but I did not get licensed until 1998.

Must I be involved in some form of athletics to get an appointment with you?

Heck no. If you are a female in need of a high quality massage, contact me.

What is the Oil-less / Oil Free massage?

It is a massage that does not use any oil so therefore the techniques I use are maximumally effective. There is more kneading, pulling, rolling, stretching, lifting actions. It is higher priced because it is much more demanding on the therapist.
