About Me

Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to find out more about my massage business.My name is Dalton Reeves, and I am a Nationally Certified Therapist of Massage and Bodywork and Licensed Massage Therapist in Tennessee.I have always been interested in Massage, being able to help others through the power of touch. However, I always found myself in another career field. After a great deal of soul searching and several deep conversations with a very dear friend, I realized what I needed to do. Go back to school! That's exactly what I did.I graduated from my chosen Massage program in April of 2007, and have never regretted a moment. I am so pleased to be able to reach out and touch others, not only literally through the massage but to help them in bringing healing and stress relief to their lives. At this time I specialize in Swedish and Deep Tissue style massage. I am furthering my base of knowledge by studying and seeking certifications in Hot Stone Therapy as well as energy work. I will be letting everyone know when I am able to practice these modalities.I am always happy to speak with individuals who are looking for a Massage Therapist. Currently, I am available for Outcalls.My rates are $65 for an hour of massage and $85 for an hour and a half.I also have a Massage Chair available to bring to your place of business, party, or event. Seated Massage is a great surprise for your co-workers, party guests, or event attendees. Please contact me for rates! Get your own custom layouts at MySpace Support!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Before your massage Arriving early is a great help. It is beneficial to take a moment to decompress with a cup of tea. Before the massage begins, your therapist will ask you some questions regarding your treatment. Be prepared to mention any recent surgery, injury, allergy to oils or lotions, skin conditions, or any health concern.During your massage It is common to undress completely, but you may leave your underwear on, if that is more comfortable.During Swedish massage the body remains completely covered except the area where the oil is applied. Always feel free to communicate with your therapist. Which areas of your body feel tense, achy, tight or sore? Do you like deep pressure? Do you prefer a lighter, more soothing touch? Every body is different. Please communicate your preference. Deep work is perceived differently by every body. Therapeutic deep work should never make you feel uncomfortable. If at any time during your massage, you experience discomfort or pain, please communicate immediately with your therapist. Relax, breathe, and close your eyes. This is your time.After a massage Massage therapy promotes circulation and the release of toxins from body tissues. Drinking water will help to flush the toxins and prevent dehydration. Massage is basically passive exercise. You may feel exhilarated, calmly relaxed, euphoric, or slightly sore following your massage. These effects may last for a few hours or a few days.
