Spend your minutes where it hurts.

If the pressure is wrong, say so, and I'll never take it personally. Your hour, your body, your call. Silence is welcome too.
Hi, I'm Rafael
Twelve years, two good hands.
I started as a sports therapist for a college track team, and I still love fixing a stubborn hamstring. But most days it's teachers, nurses and parents who just need someone to take care of them for once.
Hi, I'm Rafael. Come ten minutes early, have some tea, and don't worry about talking. Most people fall asleep. That's my favorite review.
A voice note. On a real webfolio, it's the owner's own voice.He spent forty minutes on my shoulders because that's what I asked for. First time anyone listened.Nina, a nurse

Sample reviews, written for this made-up therapist.
What should I wear?
Whatever you're comfortable in. You'll be properly draped the whole time.
Do you take insurance or HSA?
HSA and FSA cards, yes. I can also give you a receipt for reimbursement.
What if I need to cancel?
24 hours' notice, please. Emergencies happen, and I understand.
Is deep tissue supposed to hurt?
It can be intense, never sharp. If it hurts, tell me and I'll ease off.
