Your Questions,

Answered

  • SIYA (pronounced sh-ah). at (pronounced ah-t). AKO (pronounced ah-koh). — SIYA at AKO means THEM and ME in Tagalog. I chose this name because the work we do is a collaboration: we’re working together on your healing journey. SIYA at AKO is the appointment you make with yourself and your body to check in, observe, assess, strategize and execute a progression plan. I create the space and facilitate the conversation. Together, we do the work.

  • Mobile massage is where I travel to you for the session. I bring the table and materials. We’ll just need enough space cleared for the table and me to move around it.

    Before your first session, we’ll have a consultation call to discuss your needs. On the call, we’ll check in about goals and expectations. SIYA at AKO is not your at-home-spa-vacation massage session, but it is the appointment you make with yourself and your body to check in, observe, assess, strategize and execute a progression plan.

  • If you do not have enough room for a mobile session, let’s talk about it on our consultation call. 

  • To book a session, please submit the contact me form on the website or text 808.428.1267 with your name and availability the next three days for a quick 15 minute consultation call.

  • Same day appointments may be available but are not guaranteed due to the nature of mobile massage sessions.

  • I have found that 60 minutes simply isn’t enough time. There are times in a session where we may need to do slow, deep intentional work together and/or we may need to explore various connections throughout the body to get a fuller picture and some of the finer details. The body has stories to tell and we’re making the space to listen and learn so we can make changes.

  • You know your body best; these are suggestions if you are unsure of which session length you should book (please ask questions if you are still unsure):

    75min: for those who have 1 - 2 areas of concern (e.g. neck/shoulder or upper body focused session; lower back/hips/glutes or lower body focused session; upper body and glutes; lower body and neck; etc.) 

    90min: for those who need full body and have 1 - 2 areas of concern (e.g. neck/shoulder or upper body focused session; lower back/hips/glutes or lower body focused session; upper body and glutes; lower body and neck; etc.)

    120min: for those who need a full body session that focuses on the whole system in depth

  • I currently accept payment through zelle, venmo and cashapp.

  • 24-hour cancellation is required. I will not charge for cancellations as long as my time is honored and respected. If the cancellation policy is not respected, you may not be able to book sessions in the future. Exceptions will be made for illness and emergencies. I simply ask that my time is respected.
