Questions before you come
Do I need to ask my doctor or midwife first?
Yes, please ask before you book, and tell your therapist what they said. We go ahead with your provider's say-so, and we do not diagnose.
What do I lie on, and how am I covered?
You lie on your side on a table padded with pillows, under a sheet. Only the area we are working on is uncovered, and it is covered again when we move on. Ask for another pillow or a new position whenever you like.
Can I bring my baby?
If there is no one to leave the baby with, bring them along with a second adult who can hold them while you are on the table. We pause whenever the baby needs you.
What do I wear?
Whatever is comfortable. Undress only as far as you like; we work around whatever you keep on. A sheet is over you the whole time.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. Iracema and Hermila both see clients in Spanish and in English, and this whole site is in both.
