Massage Benefits
Choosing massage therapy is a commitment to your long-term health, vitality, and overall well-being. Prioritizing your body is essential, and regular massage helps you feel better, move with ease, and enjoy greater comfort for years to come.
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 can be corrected with focused work on muscles and connective tissue. Brie works to reinforce natural movement patterns, which help restore proper alignment and function.

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. Professional 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 date and time you prefer. While same-day appointments may be possible, they cannot be guaranteed. Ultimately, 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 assessment 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 consult 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.
