I am not your average practitioner:
Nurturing Touch meets Science 
I work on the root of the issue.





I am a massage therapist, esthetician, health coach and movement specialist in a single but busy practice on the island of Nantucket, Ma. I specialize in: 

Massage: Getting to the root of chronic pain and stress

Face and Body Treatments:  Pro-Aging well, sculpting massage and natural health skincare

Bodywork Wellness Series: Working together towards a goal
Appointments:

I offer 50, 80 and 110 min sessions.
Typically mornings and early afternoons with some weekend time. Availability and willingness to come in the morning greatly increases ability to get an appointment.

Which session timeframe would work better for you?
I have most traditionally and preferably done 80 min sessions... Here is how they play out in a session....



 
50 min sessions:
address one area well OR working regularly on one issue, for that person who doesn't care about deep relaxation. (This time frame is newer to me.)

80 min session: 
allows to customized issue work plus allows for relaxation integration. (It has been my preferred way to work for years.)

110 min session:
is a combo of modalities, layered for a particular result- and is ideal for that person who wants DEEP relaxation. (This timeframe is new and is quickly becoming a favorite for people who love slow, concise work.)

What is the easiest way to book a session?
The easiest way to book an appointment with us is to schedule your appointment online! I recommend scheduling your appointment as far in advance as possible to guarantee your time on our table. To ensure your appointment is booked, please check that you receive a confirmation email.
Alternative Booking Methods
If you are having trouble booking online, or if you do not see a time that works for you, you can always give us a call or text to 508-364-2380 , email me at rachel@racheldixonllc, or send a message here...

Do you always do 80 min sessions? 
No! 
I offer 50 min, 80 min and 110 min. 
I typically do 80 min because it allows for deep relaxation as well as extra time on therapeutic areas.  However- the 50 min is good for people who want a shorter session everywhere or one longer focused area. 110 min allows for a combination of modalities with plenty of time for DEEP relaxation
What to expect for your massage appointment...
Every massage session with me is customized to meet your unique goals, needs, and preferences. While I always plan a relaxing yet therapeutic massage, you will be asked: What is your main reason to be here- TODAY?  
Other questions include: 
  • what is your favorite parts of a massage, or was there anything you did NOT like in a massage before? 
  • What is your preferred temperature and pressure? (And if it "hurts so good" its fine, but "hurts too much" please let me know.) 
  • What do you want to accomplish in this session, and are you willing to do some "Home Work" to sustain these results? 
I recommend arriving on time (traffic etc) to not be rushed- leave a little time at the end. I will meet you in the waiting room. Its ideal to dress in comfortable clothing for your appointment, hydrating before and after your massage, and always communicating with met to ensure the best experience.
 Staying hydrated, resting, and engaging in nourishing activities for the rest of your day is encouraged for optimal massage benefits.
Treatment Types vs Modalities- how does that fit in? 
1. We start with what type of service you want (massage or face treatment) 
2. How much time you want- 50 min, 80min or 110 min-according to the solution to want. 
3. Is your focus relaxation or a chronic pain issue?
Then I pick the modalities that best serve the solution you want and offer them. If you particularly want some modality- ASK! 

Cancellation policy
Holding time on my books is valuable. If committing to a time slot is difficult, I now have- discounted- last minute availability,
Bookings hold a credit card. If you cancel between 45 to 25 hours, there is a $25 fee. If you cancel under 24 hours there is a $50 fee. If you are sick this is waived. If you do not show for your appointment, you would be charged 50%, and may lose booking privileges. People who reschedule frequently may lose self booking privileges.
While you can reschedule appointments online, if you cancel or reschedule excessively, you may not be invited back to my clinic.

Late arrival policy
Please plan to arrive about 5 minutes prior to their massage appointment and to take a seat in our waiting area until I bring you back. All scheduled massage sessions have a specific time schedule, so late arrivals may not receive an extension of their appointment.
Location and directions: 
Located at 4 Bartlett Road in Nantucket, in the Island Health Center Building.
Take Bartlett Road from Surfside- we are the second on the left- and the building in the back. Come through this door into the waiting room, where I will meet you for scheduled appointments. 
Do you do outcalls? 
No- all services are located at my wellness center located at 4 Bartlett Road. 
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept cash, Venmo (@Rachel-Dixon-26) , credit/debit cards, Zelle (508-364-2380), as well as checks.
Tipping
As a business owner- I factor in all parts of service into the cost. Tipping is not necessary but is accepted. 
Insurance- Do you work with this?
No. I do not take insurance or communicate with insurance companies for the benefit of insuance claims, even with your written consent. 
I am happy to receive communication from other providers on how I can fit into their treatment plans for you.

I am here on vacation in the summer-can I book with you?
Probably not. As a single therapist in a busy practice- I am pretty booked working  on year-round and regular summer clients. 
However- if you want to schedule massages in the off-season (September 15-May 15)  to work on issues to get established as a client- please contact me.
