How It Works
For the detail-oriented.

  1. Members get a 60min massage every month for $85 - auto charged every 30 days until their contract ends.
  2. After the first payment is made, clients instantly receive an email with their new membership code, instructions, and links to book
  3. The membership code is used every month to book their 60min session. Additional time and upgrades are paid for at booking.
  4. The monthly session becomes available after the monthly fee goes through
  5. Massage tables are delivered with the 2nd session when supplies are available.
More Details
Policies built with clients in mind.

  • Quick links to book, reschedule, cancel, or update forms are always included in payment confirmation emails.
  • After the monthly session is booked, the code becomes invalid until the next scheduled payment goes through.
  • When members need more sessions, they can book Additional Sessions for $65 (paid for at booking).
  • Members gift monthly sessions by simply sharing their code. The recipient books + consents to their own appointment online.
  • No refunds are given on memberships. Clients have 7 days after starting a membership to cancel free of charge, for any reason.
  • Cancelling a membership outside of the grace period or not keeping credit card info properly updated can result in a $100 penalty fee, at the owner's discretion.
What goes into a session?
Setup
  • Clients provide 2 sheets (any size or style) + a regular bed pillow. This prevents allergic reactions + minimizes our kit weight.
  • Therapists bring a portable massage table, music, oil/lotion + a mini electric hot stone kit if applicable.
  • Never fuss with furniture - we can assess the space and adjust as needed. 

Protocol
  1. Clients are consulted to determine focus areas, areas to avoid, pressure preference, and any medical history that might be effected by the session. 
  2. Therapists leave the room to wash their hands after instructing clients to disrobe to their comfort level + lay under the drape
  3. Bolster, face cradle, blankets, lights, and music level are adjusted once the therapist returns
  4. The session begins - therapists check in to adjust pressure throughout the session 



​
Availability + Booking
Clients book their own appointments online, not by phone or email. You'll fill out an online consent form + verify your identity, so we can't do it for you.
Cancellations + Rescheduling
Things come up. We never charge for cancellations or rescheduled appointments. No-shows are charged 50% of their total service cost.

Instantly cancel/reschedule anytime through the links provided in your email confirmation (or by logging in to your account). No need to call or email.

8+ Years Experience



Eight amazing years in practice led to me to launch allé in May 2017. After so many clients shared negative experiences from other spas, I knew I had to change the field. Common complaints reflected a staggering disconnect between companies and clients. Therapists either insisted on too much pressure, talked through sessions, or just stuck to their routine. The problem in my field was twofold: communication and education.

The style I went on to develop now empowers clients to control every aspect of their sessions. That customization paired with my passion for research-based therapies resulted in an entirely new experience for clients seeking effective bodywork. I hope to continue modernizing my field by employing knowledgeable therapists, adapting practical techniques to fit a variety of health goals, and insisting on respecting the needs of every client.
