Massage Benefits

Investing in massage therapy is an investment in your long-term health, vitality, and overall well-being. Taking care of your body should always be a top priority, and regular massage helps you feel healthier, move more freely, and live more comfortably well into the future.

Key Benefits of Massage Therapy

  • Relief from pain and tension

  • Improved posture and alignment

  • Reduced trauma stored in the body

  • Stress reduction and relaxation

  • Decreased inflammation in muscles

  • Enhanced mental and emotional well-being

  • Reduced feelings of sadness, depression, and irritability

Massage therapy uses non-verbal, hands-on techniques to encourage healing, release tension, and resolve areas of “freeze” caused by stress or trauma. Even the stress-relief alone can enhance your vitality, energy, and overall state of mind.

Many techniques also support the release of trauma stored in the body, whether from injuries, accidents, life-altering events, or emotional loss. Massage provides a safe, therapeutic environment to let go of psychological and physical stress held in both body and mind.

Poor posture, unlike other habits, can be corrected with focused work on muscles and connective tissue. Brie works to reinforce natural movement patterns, helping restore proper alignment and function.

  • Poor posture / scoliosis

  • Back pain / piriformis syndrome / rotator cuff injuries

  • Insomnia and sleep disturbances

  • Anxiety and panic attacks

  • Fibromyalgia / chronic fatigue syndrome

Policies & Appointment Information

Zero Tolerance Policy

All treatments at Asheville Massage by Brie are strictly clinical. Sexual conversation or behavior is never tolerated. Any inappropriate words, jokes, or suggestions will result in immediate termination of the session, full treatment fees charged, and denial of future appointments. Draping is required at all times.

Booking an Appointment

Appointments are available by booking in advance, ideally at least a week ahead to secure the best date and time. While same-day appointments may be possible, they cannot be guaranteed. All treatments are by appointment only, and cash is the accepted method of payment.

Arrival Guidelines

Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment. Early arrival allows time to complete necessary paperwork, consult with Brie, and settle in before your treatment. Late arrivals may result in a shortened session, though every effort will be made to maximize your time.

At Asheville Massage by Brie, your booked time is your treatment time—60 minutes of massage means 60 minutes of massage, not 45 minutes with paperwork taking the rest.

Late Arrivals

If you anticipate being late, notify Brie as soon as possible. The session will begin at your arrival time, and remaining treatment time will be used.

Cancellation & No-Show Policy

A 24-hour notice is appreciated for cancellations or rescheduling, including gift certificate appointments. Missed or no-show appointments will be charged in full unless the session can be refilled. Emergency cancellations are evaluated at Brie’s discretion.

Please note: Treatment times can be shortened at your appointment, but the rate will reflect the originally booked session. For example, a 90-minute session reduced to 60 minutes will still be charged at the 90-minute rate.

Appointment reminders are sent via text 1–2 days before your scheduled session.

Thank you for respecting these policies—they allow Asheville Massage by Brie to provide the highest quality, professional massage therapy experience possible.
