PRIVATE MASSAGE RETAINER™
A private care partnership for individuals and households who require continuity, clinical discernment, and long-arc body support.
The Massage Retainer™ is designed for clients whose bodies carry real demand — whether through performance, medical recovery, complex schedules, or long-term physical responsibility. This model provides structured access, consistent presence, and a stable care relationship rather than fragmented, session-based support.
Domestic retainers range from $10,000–$25,000 depending on engagement length.
Session fees are billed separately.
What This Is
The Massage Retainer™ is a structured private-care model built for people who need their bodywork to function as part of their life infrastructure.
Rather than booking isolated sessions, clients enter a defined care relationship that allows their body to be supported across homes, travel seasons, recovery periods, and demanding cycles.
Whether you are navigating medical recovery, high physical output, complex household needs, or sustained professional pressure, this model provides continuity, clinical precision, and a provider who already understands your history, patterns, and capacity.
This offering is ideal for:
Skilled bodywork is not an indulgence. It is part of the infrastructure that allows a body to remain functional, adaptable, and sustainable over time.
What’s Included
How Retainer Access Works
The Massage Retainer is built to provide structured, high-level access that supports both consistency and flexibility.
Each service day includes up to four hours of available treatment time, reserved exclusively for your household.
Time is structured in 30-minute care blocks, allowing sessions to be used for:
longer, unhurried treatments
multiple individuals in the household
rotating guest needs
shorter focused sessions when appropriate
Most sessions fall within the 90–120 minute range, though the retainer is designed to adapt to what your household actually needs that day.
This structure allows bodywork to move naturally within the rhythm of your home — rather than forcing care into rigid appointment slots.
PRIMARY TIER — The Core Domestic Retainers
These are the most aligned options.
When you book a retainer, you (and your household) become my only clients for that period.
30-Day Retainer — $25,000
A foundational private care engagement designed to integrate bodywork into your home life, recovery cycles, and performance rhythm.
Built for:
• ongoing support
• complex schedules
• consistent in-home presence
• households who want care embedded, not booked
Includes up to five service days per week with structured treatment availability.
60-Day Retainer — $50,000
A 60-day retainer period providing extended, stabilized support for clients navigating demanding seasons, including :
This extended structure allows for deeper integration, continuity, and refinement of care over time
SECONDARY TIER — Short-Term Engagements
For households needing focused, high-intensity support without committing to a full 30-day retainer. These options are ideal for ski season, executive weekends, family gatherings, or short-term recovery cycles.
One-Week Intensive — $10,000
Designed for high-output weeks, visiting households, performance windows, or concentrated recovery periods.
Two-Week Support — $15,000
Designed for ski trips, filming windows, guest rotations, or short household cycles.
Three-Week Support — $20,000
Designed for extended stays, demanding travel periods, or multi-week integration.
Travel-Based Domestic Short Stays
Short-term domestic travel retainers follow the same weekly structure and pricing. All travel, accommodations, and logistics are billed separately.
Event-Specific Short Stays — Custom Quote
Reserved for high-demand events: destination weddings, international gatherings, performance weekends, executive retreats, or villa hosting. These stays typically involve household-wide care and higher physical output.
Travel Support (Overview)
Care is not limited to one address.
For clients who move between homes, seasons, or countries, support can travel with you. Domestic and international engagements are available for approved retainers and short-term placements, allowing continuity of care across residences, performance periods, and extended stays.
GLOBAL & INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
Global work is structured privately and commissioned based on scope, location, and duration.
Who This Is Not For
This is not casual self-care.
This is not on-demand spa service.
This is not a trial experience.
This work is reserved for individuals and households who value long-term, high-caliber bodywork and understand the role of consistent physical support in a demanding life.
I accept a very limited number of clients each year in this capacity to protect the quality, depth, and integrity of the work.
