Your first visit to Fortify begins with a focused consultation. We talk through your goals, pain points, and how your body is moving. From there, treatment may include therapeutic massage, mobility work, and movement-based strategies designed to address the root cause of your discomfort, not just the symptoms.

We work with clients across Kansas City and Lee’s Summit on a wide range of issues, including:

• Chronic muscle tension and stress

• Sports and overuse injuries

• Post-surgical recovery

• Back and shoulder pain

• Neck tension and TMJ pain

• Plantar fasciitis

It depends on your goals. For pain or injury recovery, weekly sessions are often recommended at the start. For maintenance and performance, most clients fortify their routine with a session every four to six weeks.

Our work goes beyond relaxation. I combine hands-on therapy with functional movement, biomechanics, and strength-based strategies to correct dysfunction at its source, so the results hold up long after you leave the table.

Fortify serves clients throughout Kansas City and Lee’s Summit, working with active adults, athletes, and wellness-focused individuals who want to move, recover, and live stronger.

In order to maximize your hands-on time, Please arrive five minutes early. Once you get in and settled, I’ve dedicated time before your massage to discuss your goals.

If you cancel or reschedule your appointment the day before, after 7 pm, for any reason, you'll be charged for half the session. If you don’t notify me at all, you’ll be charged the full amount. I’ll charge your card before we schedule your next session. After two no-call/no-show instances, I won’t schedule any future sessions with you.

I promise it's not meant to be a punishment; it's protection of my most valuable resource ~ my time.

Also, I honor my policy in reverse! If I ever cancel on you with short notice, you save 50% on your next session.

Before your first appointment, I’ll ask you to complete a confidential health history form. We’ll review and update any time there are significant changes to your health (ex. surgery, major illness). The information in your file can only be released with your consent or as required by law.

For safety purposes, I reserve the right to refuse or discontinue treatment if you exhibit any of the following conditions or behaviors:

o Intoxication

o Derogatory comments

o Sexual or romantic advances

o Illness or infectious conditions

o Contagious or unidentified skin conditions (ex. rashes, mysterious bites)

You will still be liable for payment of the scheduled appointment.

Thank you for keeping my practice safe.
