Therapeutic Massage
Bodywork that fits your wellness plan.
Therapeutic massage at Beo isn't a one-off escape — it's hands-on bodywork that fits inside the wellness plan we're building together. Sessions are customized to where your body is each week: a flare in the neck and shoulders, recovery from a hard training block, or simply a nervous system that needs help dropping out of high alert.
What it is
- · Hands-on bodywork tailored to your goals and current physical state.
- · Integration with the rest of your protocol — nutrition, HTMA, lifestyle anchors.
- · Customized pressure and focus areas; nothing prescriptive about technique.
- · A quiet, unhurried space designed to help the parasympathetic nervous system actually take over.
Who it’s for
- · Clients already working with Maryann on functional nutrition or HTMA who want bodywork as part of the plan.
- · People with chronic tension that responds best to consistent, integrated bodywork — not just an occasional spa visit.
- · Active clients training through long Michigan winters who need recovery support.
- · Anyone whose nervous system is stuck in high gear and needs a regular reset.
What happens
From first visit to follow-up.
- 01
Brief check-in
We start each session with a quick check-in: where the body is today, what's been a recurring tension pattern, and any goals from the wellness plan that the bodywork should support.
- 02
Customized session
Pressure, focus areas, and pacing are calibrated in the moment. We work to whatever state your body actually needs — restorative on a depleted week, more focused tissue work when something specific is flaring.
- 03
Integration
Many clients book a nutrition follow-up alongside the massage so the conversation about hydration, minerals, sleep, and recovery happens in real time.
What you leave with
- · Reduced tension and a measurably calmer nervous system.
- · A sense of which patterns kept showing up — useful information that feeds back into the protocol.
- · A maintenance cadence that fits your week, not a generic 'every 4 weeks' template.
Time & cadence
Sessions run 60 or 90 minutes. Most clients book a regular cadence (weekly to monthly) once we find what serves the body best.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can I book massage without a nutrition consult? +
Yes. Many clients start with massage and add functional nutrition later, or vice versa. Both work as standalone services and as integrated care.
What style of massage is this? +
Therapeutic and customized. The session shapes itself around the body in front of me — sometimes Swedish-style, sometimes deeper tissue work, sometimes a slower, more restorative approach. We talk through what you're after at the start of each session.
Should I avoid eating before a session? +
Eat lightly an hour or two beforehand — full meals right before bodywork are uncomfortable, and being undernourished is also unhelpful.
How often should I come in? +
It depends. Some clients are weekly during a hard recovery stretch and monthly afterward. We'll find a cadence that fits your body and your week.
Do you accept insurance for massage? +
Therapeutic massage is generally not billed through insurance here. Many clients use HSA/FSA funds; check with your plan administrator.
