Your Questions, Answered
Welcome to Veluna Wellness™—where your transformative wellness journey begins. Below are answers to frequently asked questions to help you prepare for your personalized session.
The Approach
-
Your session is intentionally slow, attuned, and nervous-system centered.
We’ll begin with a brief check-in to clarify intentions, boundaries, and any physical or emotional considerations for the day. From there, you’ll receive a customized bodywork experience that may include massage, craniosacral techniques, energy work, and subtle ritual elements, depending on the session you’ve chosen.
At Veluna Wellness, sessions are not performance-based or outcome-forced. The focus is regulation, presence and deep listening to the body.
-
My work prioritizes healing and relaxation over intensity. I use a balanced, intuitive pressure that supports release without overwhelming the body. Sessions typically involve light to firm pressure, guided by your comfort and physiological response.
This practice may not be ideal if you’re seeking aggressive or high-pressure massage, but it is well-suited for those looking for meaningful, long-term relief and nervous system support.
-
Yes, but not by forcing them.
What most people call “knots” are usually a combination of overworked muscle fibers, fascial restriction, and nervous system holding. My work emphasizes healing and nervous system regulation rather than intensity. I use a balanced, intuitive pressure, typically light to firm, along with slow, focused techniques to help these areas soften without overwhelming the body.
I don’t aggressively chase pain. Real release happens when the body feels safe and supported, which often leads to more lasting relief than forceful, high-pressure work.
-
Every session is adapted to where you are, not where you think you should be.
You don’t need prior experience, special knowledge, or spiritual language to receive this work. For those new to holistic or nervous-system-based bodywork, I take care to move at a pace that feels safe, supportive and accessible.
We’ll begin with a brief check-in so I can understand your physical needs and any emotional or subtle aspects you’re open to exploring. From there, the session unfolds intuitively. I’m always happy to explain what I’m doing and why, helping demystify the work so you feel informed and at ease rather than overwhelmed.
The intention is not to educate at you, but to support clarity, comfort, and trust as you experience the work in your own way.
Modalities & Customization
-
No. Every session is fully personalized.
You don’t need to believe in energy work or spiritual concepts for this work to be effective. If you prefer a straightforward, therapeutic approach focused on physical tension and nervous system support, that’s absolutely welcome.
Sessions work through presence, touch and nervous system regulation, not belief systems. You can share your preferences in the intake form or when we begin, and I’ll meet you where you are.
-
Yes. I offer standalone craniosacral and energy-based sessions.
Some sessions focus primarily on craniosacral work and subtle nervous system regulation rather than traditional massage. These sessions are non-invasive, do not require undressing, and are well-suited for times when your body needs gentleness, rest, or emotional support rather than physical manipulation.
My approach is sometimes compared to Reiki, though it isn’t traditional Reiki. The work is intuitive and ritual-informed, blending somatic presence with subtle energy work. Sessions may include craniosacral therapy, guided breathwork and simple ritual elements, all tailored to support regulation, emotional clearing and restoration.
-
Yes, though touch is minimal and always clearly communicated.
Craniosacral and energy-based sessions typically involve very light touch, and in some cases little to no touch at all. When touch is used, it is gentle, respectful and intentional. These sessions are ideal for those seeking nervous system support, emotional release or energetic clarity without traditional massage techniques or undressing.
You’re always welcome to ask questions or set boundaries at any point during the session.

Policies & Preparation
-
To honor the preparation and energy I bring to your session, I maintain a firm cancellation policy:
Individual Sessions: I require at least 24 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel.
Cancellations with 24+ hours' notice: You may choose between a full refund or a credit toward a future session.
Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice (or no-shows): These are non-refundable and not eligible for credit.
Group Rituals: Due to the intimate 3-seat capacity, all ritual registrations are final sale. If you cannot attend, your seat is fully transferable to a friend. Simply email me their name prior to the start time.
Late Arrivals: To preserve the sanctuary of the space, sessions must end at their scheduled time. If you arrive late, your session may be shortened to ensure I remain on schedule for the next guest and the full fee still applies.
-
Come as you are. Comfortable clothing is encouraged, and you may want to avoid heavy meals right before your session.
Hydration beforehand is helpful, and giving yourself a few quiet minutes before arriving can make the transition smoother. After your session, allow space for rest or integration when possible.
Still have questions? Feel free to reach out. I’m happy to clarify anything and help you feel confident and supported before booking.
