Patient Info & Fees

And there’s a difference in what I’m held to

As a sole practitioner, I take a complete medical history and keep clinical notes on every session. If I did identical work inside a spa, I’d be required to do neither.

That’s not paperwork. That’s the difference between someone treating you and someone giving you an hour.

There is no standard session, and that’s the point

Plenty of people will tell you they have the answer to scar tissue. Some cup you. Some needle it. Some have a device they’ll describe as the end-all be-all.

Nothing is the end-all be-all, because no two people are the same – not even two people who had the same operation.

What I do is pull from all of it. Hands-on release, deep oscillation, LymphaTouch, lymphatic work, therapeutic stretching, body mechanics, the sauna, vibroacoustic therapy. My job is deciding which of those your body needs, in what order, and for how long – and then resetting you as close to factory settings as I can get you.

What that looks like in practice

Two people come in after the same knee replacement.

One is three weeks out. That’s thirty minutes – light, barely any pressure, deep oscillation, and lymphatic work to guide the tissue while it’s still deciding how to form.

The other is four years out and has been walking differently ever since without quite noticing. That’s a full hour: hands-on release layer by layer, then stretching to reset the hip and the leg that’s been quietly doing all the work.

Same surgery. Completely different sessions. Neither of them picked the technique – I did, after I saw them.

And sometimes the right answer isn’t hands at all. Before an operation, I’ll put someone in the sauna and tell them to eat clean and get their vitamins up, because you want your immune system running well before it gets attacked.

What you’re paying for, whichever session you end up in

One person, start to finish. Not a technician running a protocol. Not fifteen minutes with a therapist and the rest of it left alone on a machine.

An assessment instead of a package. I don’t know what you need until I’ve seen you, and I won’t pretend to know over the phone.

A finish line. The goal is that you stop needing me. Two visits a week somewhere cheaper, for months, isn’t the affordable option – it’s the same money spent slower.

And the part that resists pricing entirely: reaching the top shelf again. Sleeping on that side. Picking up your child without bracing first. Going a whole day without thinking about the scar.

Do you take insurance?

I do not accept insurance and operate on a fee-for-service basis. However, I will provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

As a solo practitioner, my priority is providing quality care to my clients. Unfortunately, navigating the complexities of insurance reimbursement requires significant time and administrative resources, and I do not have a dedicated staff. My focus is on delivering effective therapy during our sessions, and I kindly ask for payment at the time of service. I understand that insurance can be a complicated process, and I encourage you to check with your provider regarding out-of-network benefits.

Can I pay with my HSA or FSA card?

Not as a card. I don’t process credit or debit cards of any kind, HSA and FSA included. Payment is cash, check, Venmo, or PayPal.

You can often still use those funds by paying at the time of service and submitting the superbill to your plan administrator for reimbursement. Check with your plan on how they handle it.

Can I bring my baby?

Yes. If your baby is still in a carrier, bring the baby – no sitter required. Older children who’ll sit with a book or a tablet are welcome too. Toddlers are the exception, since that age needs someone watching them.

What are your hours?

Monday through Friday, nine to seven. I teach seminars most weekends, so weekends generally aren’t available. Appointments open week to week — call and I’ll tell you what I have.

Do you sell gift certificates?

Yes, for any service and any amount – usable toward a session, the infrared sauna, or vibroacoustic therapy. Call 516-409-1240 and I’ll take care of it.

How many visits do I need?

Every healing journey is unique. Even if two people undergo the same type of surgery—such as a C-section, mastectomy, or knee replacement—their experiences, recovery timelines, and responses to therapy will differ. Healing is influenced by individual metabolism, daily activities, and lifestyle factors, such as returning to work or resuming exercise soon after an injury.

Because of this, I cannot determine how many sessions you will need just from a brief phone conversation without meeting you or assessing your physical condition. Additionally, I do not require clients to prepay for a set number of sessions without guaranteeing results. Instead, I encourage you to schedule a session, see how you feel afterward, and determine if this therapy is the right fit for you. From there, we can collaborate on a personalized approach that best supports your healing process.

I look forward to working with you!

How soon after surgery can I be seen?

With me, as soon as you’re able to get here. Most providers will tell you three to four months, and for them that’s right — they don’t have a post-op protocol.

What I do in those first weeks is different work: half an hour, light, using deep oscillation, LymphaTouch, polarity therapy, and gentle myofascial release to guide how the tissue lays down while it’s forming. Do that early and you usually need far less of the heavier work later.

If your surgery hasn’t happened yet, that’s the best time to call. If it is planned rather than an emergency, at least two lymphatic sessions in the seventy-two hours before it give your immune system the best chance going in.

Do I need a doctor’s referral or prescription?

No referral is needed to book. If your insurer wants a prescription for out-of-network reimbursement, there’s a physician’s prescription form in the Forms section of this page to bring to your doctor.

Where are you located, and do you travel?

My office is attached to my home in Wantagh, New York, on Long Island, serving Nassau County and the surrounding area. Everything happens here; I don’t travel to clients. When you arrive, text me and come up the walkway on the side of the house.
