FAQs: Massage & BodyWork

Yes.

Cathy is a licensed massage therapist. Her license number is LA9278. Here’s more About Cathy.

It is illegal to practice massage in Louisiana without licensure.

Specifically, §3556. Licensure; Qualifications addresses licensing. You can read the full Section here, and click on “Louisiana Law” then “Practice Act.”

Cathy’s studio is located on her private property off of Hwy 421 (Spillman Road). The studio is detached from the private residence. There is a sign that reads “MASSAGE” clearly indicating entrance to the studio along with a parking area designated for clients.

Absolutely!

Pain relief massage sessions can be fully clothed; just wear loose-fitting clothing (no jeans or thick sweats). You can always bring something comfortable to change into; otherwise, the only thing you’ll remove is your shoes.

The pain relief massage does not hurt but it is a different type of massage generally referred to as “bodywork.” This means you will actively participate by providing slight resistance during this fully clothed session.

Cathy may ask you to hold a particular position with your arm, leg, or abs and Cathy will let you know when to relax the arm, leg, or abs. It really is an “ebb-and-flow” between you and Cathy so that every muscle group is addressed. Because the body’s central command system is activated during a pain relief session, muscle tightness and musculoskeletal pain dissipates in just seconds.
