Frequently Asked Questions
What is occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy (OT) is a profession which can work with individuals across the lifespan addressing their goals in achieving their preferred activities, known as occupations. It can include daily self care, household tasks, health management, rest and sleep, education, work, play and leisure or social participation.
Do you offer traditional occupational therapy services?
While I primarily focus on providing CFT for clients I do continue to support clients with traditional occupational therapy services and home safety modification assessments. Please reach out for more information or to inquire about working together. I serve clients of all ages- infants through adults.
What do you need to get started?
Per Georgia law, occupational therapists have direct access which means we do not need an occupational therapy order from a doctor to begin working with clients. If you would prefer, you can still reach out to your primary care doctor or specialist to discuss working with me before beginning treatment.
What is the financial investment?
To maximize the individualized attention I offer clients I currently do not work with insurance companies. I am a fee for service provider and payment is due at the time of service. I currently offer packages only for new clients and returning clients are welcome to purchase a package again or single sessions. I have found clients respond best when committing to multiple sessions to allow CFT a chance to help the body heal and reprogram with the relief of tension and strain in the fascial web. Packages begin at $430.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I currently accept, cash, check, Venmo and card payments (debit/credit/HSA/FSA). Beginning August 1, 2026 I will be charging a 3% processing fee for any card payments whether debit, credit, HSA/FSA. All payments are due at the time of service.
What is craniosacral fascial therapy (CFT)?
Please refer to my CFT page for more information and a direct link to the Gillespie website for more information and client experiences on the modality.
What to expect with a CFT session?
The session will be conducted fully clothed on a massage table. There may be times you are lying on your back, sitting up or lying on your side. It is a gentle modality but your body may "unwind" as tension is released and move so it is recommended to wear comfortable, loose clothes you might wear when stretching or working out.
Where are you located and what is your travel radius?
All travel is calculated from Wellness Worx in Flowery Branch, GA. Pricing includes travel up to 20 minutes one way. In-home sessions are dependent upon schedule availability however, even if you reside in the travel radius. Once a month I travel to Blairsville, GA to work with clients providing CFT services at Family Dentistry of Blairsville.
