Frequently asked questions:
What is the best way to reach me (Kristi)
Email is my preferred method and I check it often: inspiredyogaandmassage@gmail.com
If you have an emergency you can reach out to me via my phone number: 406.539.3948
What should I wear?
Most importantly I want you to be comfortable, but here are my suggestions.
Thai Massage wear clothes I can stretch you in. Usually a t-shirt and joggers/sweat pants/Yoga pants. Shorts are fine.
The only important topic here is that you aren’t exposed as I move you around. Otherwise, wear whatever you have in your closet.
SargaThai is a fascial based technique that I add stretching to our session. So easily put the “more skin, means more Sarga.” I recommend again you are comfortable and not exposed as I stretch you, but recommend
For upper body:
tank top/sports bra/no shirt for males comfortable with that/t-shirt
For lower body:
short shorts/shorts/pants that will easily move up/down the leg
I can work with anything you wear. If you wear more clothes I will do more Thai work, if you have more skin exposed there will be more of a blend between Sarga and Thai massage.
Additional things to note: The Airstream changes temperature quickly so layers of clothes are always a nice bonus.
Where are you located?
Connect Wellness is located near the mall off of Andreson.
4301 NE 59th Ave Vancouver, WA 98661
It is a residential house with no business sign out front, but you will see 4301 on the long, privacy fence out front
When you pull into the driveway you can park on the left, but I personally like to pull all the way to the back of the property. That is where the Airstream camper, that we will be working out of, is located. Short stumble back to the car after a wonderful massage. :)
NOTE: The only bathroom is attached to the house closer up by the hot tub and just right of the clock and water dispenser.
What should I bring?
If you are coming for a massage only…See notes on clothing above and a water bottle is nice for reusable purposes, but not necessary.
If you are coming for massage and to use the Connect Wellness Spa (Saunas, cold plunge, and hot tub) I recommend:
Swimsuit (must have-currently not nude friendly)
Water bottle
Flip flops or some form of sandal that can get wet and slip on and off
Towel (we DO NOT have towels for your use)
Possibly a book because we are technology and alcohol free oops I forgot canoodling free too
A smile cause you are going to have a great time
I have been on my own journey of finding a healthier lifestyle and to be honest one of happiness. If you are on this journey currently, I want you to know I recognize this is hard and messy. I am here to allow you to share your boundaries and I will highly respect them. I want you to be able to communicate with me and tell me the things you would tell someone candidly about the massage you are receiving. Side note: I used to be a bartender and have worked at a mental health hospital and addiction recover center, all this to say, I have heard ALL the questions and the uncomfortable giggles. I will answer any of your questions and want you to build trust with me over time.
