the space

 

my studio is located at 62 Main St. Belfast ME 04915. You’ll come in the narrow door between the two doors of Fiddlehead Arts, come up the first flight of stairs, and my door is the first on the left. There will be a sign for my business on the door. I have a google business profile that you can plug into your maps app!

please arrive 10-15 minutes before your massage to discuss what you’re needing for that session, and plan to stay 5-15 minutes after to discuss how you feel.

the studio space is up a long flight of stairs, and there is no elevator. if this makes my work inaccessible to you, please reach out to me for us to brainstorm alternative spaces.

there is often free street parking in front of my studio, which is limited to 2 hours on weekdays. there are also all-day free lots nearby, including one right across the street. check out this map for more details. please anticipate parking and walking time in planning for your massage!

i am open to doing home visits. please contact me for more details about this if you are interested.
