Where will my massage therapy session take place? My practice is located in a quiet residential neighborhood of San Antonio. The treatment itself takes place in a warm, cozy, comfortable room. You may also choose to receive the massage treatment in the comfort of your own home. Either way, you will lie on a professional massage therapy table, designed for your comfort during the treatment.
You'll start by calling me at (210) 705-0644 to schedule your appointment. Telephone scheduling allows you to tell me what your needs are so I can figure out if we're a good fit. To ensure mutual respect and trust, an initial interview by phone will be conducted with all prospective clients. I provide non sexual, non sensual massage therapy and bodywork.
One of the more challenging parts of running a service business is deciding how to handle last-minute cancellations, missed appointments and late arrivals. I aim for a thoughtful fairness. The new policies are below. I'm usually happy to be flexible about the policies when illness or emergencies strike.

I have suffered from chronic neck and back pain most of my adult life. Vikki not only massages the affected areas but really understands how the body works and addresses the connecting muscles and tendons to help relieve the underlying problems causing the pain. She has also recommended stretches that help me keep my muscles less tense between visits. I have seen her several times in the past 2 years and I highly recommend her work.

I saw Vikki for some pain in my shoulder/upper back area and she did a thorough assessment of my muscle strength, range of motion, and pain points. Her technique is amazing - she works the body to release pain and finds the different places that are contributing to your discomfort. She is warm, she listens, she is super knowledgeable. I really can't say enough about how good my experience was with Vikki. If you are looking for therapeutic massage (vs. a "spa day") Skillful Touch is the place to go!

I waited to review until I had been multiple times. My initial massage experience was considerably "above average" and as Vikki has come to better know my body its improved to "excellent."
Vikki combines intellect and technique with intuition and empathy to produce a truly genuine healing experience.
