Seasonal Ski Massage Retainer™

Private in-home care throughout ski season in Big Sky and Bozeman

Ski season moves fast.

Weather shifts. Houses fill. Guests arrive and depart. Bodies work hard.

For households who spend winter here, recovery can’t depend on last-minute availability, resort schedules, or piecing together care week by week.

The Seasonal Ski Massage Retainer™ provides dedicated, in-home bodywork support for the duration of your stay — structured, discreet, and woven directly into the rhythm of your household.

This offering is designed for families and individuals who want their care already in place before the season begins, so support is steady, familiar, and responsive as winter unfolds.

I. What the Seasonal Ski Massage Retainer™ Includes

For the duration of your selected retainer window, you receive:

• Exclusive access to Nicole for in-home sessions
• Guaranteed availability during your stay within standard business hours (generally 9:00am to 7:00pm; early-morning or late-evening sessions may be available at elevated rates)
• Priority scheduling for all members of the household
• Discreet presence in private homes, estates, and ski properties
• Flexible session timing (morning, après-ski, or early evening within business hours)
• Premium-rate options for before-hours and after-hours sessions
• Continuity of care when guests rotate throughout the stay
• Direct, private communication between Nicole and the principal or EA

II. In-Home Session Rates

(Billed separately from the Seasonal Ski Retainer fee)

All in-home sessions follow the same structured block system outlined in the Mobile Massage Retainer.

• $250 per 30-minute block
• Up to four (4) hours of treatment time per Service Day
• A Retainer week includes five (5) Service Days
• Time is rounded up to the nearest 30-minute block
• Minimum on-property booking: 2 blocks (1 hour)
• You are billed only for the time you use

Most ski households utilize three to five Service Days per week to support recovery, rotating guests, and changing activity levels throughout their stay.

III. Seasonal Retainer Fee Structure

The retainer fee covers access, not sessions.

Massage care is billed separately and managed through structured on-property time blocks that may be allocated across household members and guests.”

1-Week Retainer

$10,000

Ideal for long weekends, holiday ski trips, or weeks when multiple guests will need support.

2-Week Retainer

$15,000

Best for households hosting visiting family or friends throughout the ski window.

3-Week Retainer

$20,000

Designed for households who rotate guests or anticipate several ski days with high recovery needs.

4-Week Retainer

$25,000

Equivalent to the standard 30-day Massage Retainer™, offering full access during your stay with the highest scheduling priority.

All retainer fees are prepaid to secure your reservation.

IV. Who This Retainer Is Designed For

The Seasonal Ski Massage Retainer™ is built for households who:

• want guaranteed support throughout ski season
• host rotating family, friends, or guests
• move on weather, not rigid itineraries
• prefer private in-home care over resort availability
• need someone who understands ski strain patterns, altitude demands, and multi-day recovery

If your household expects multiple sessions per week or prefers not to coordinate last-minute availability, the retainer is the most efficient and reliable option.

---

V. How to Inquire

Because all sessions take place inside private residences, I use a simple, direct inquiry process.

Email Only

📩 Nicole@nicolejamesbodywork.com

Please include:

• full name
• referral source (if applicable)
• general location (Big Sky, Moonlight, YC, Bozeman, etc.)
• preferred retainer window (1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks)
• stay dates and any relevant travel timing
• expected number of guests who may need care

All inquiries are reviewed. If availability and scope align, a brief call will be scheduled to assess fit and next steps.

VI. Closing

Ski season runs smoother when support is already secured.

With a Seasonal Ski Massage Retainer™, your household has consistent, private, in-home recovery throughout your stay — without the need to search for last-minute appointments or leave the comfort of the home.

Ski season moves quickly, and recovery needs change week to week. Securing support in advance allows care to remain consistent, responsive, and private throughout the season. 

Availability is intentionally limited to protect the quality of care each household receives.

1. Do you work with individuals, couples, or groups?

Yes. Most seasonal retainers begin with one primary client, but partners, family members, and select guests can be included as long as everything fits within the structure of your retainer. Care always centers around you first, with additional sessions arranged as availability allows.

---

2. Do you work in rental homes, hotels, or ski-in/ski-out properties?

Absolutely. I offer in-home and on-site support throughout Big Sky and nearby resort areas. Whether you're staying in a private home, luxury rental, or ski-in/ski-out suite, I bring all professional equipment directly to you.

---

3. How much notice is required to secure peak-season availability?

Most households secure a seasonal retainer one to two weeks in advance, once travel windows and snow conditions are confirmed. Because ski schedules often move with weather, availability is structured to remain responsive. 

Earlier planning is encouraged, particularly around holiday weeks, though proximity alone does not determine availability.

---

4. How many Service Days should we plan for during our stay?

Most households plan for 3–5 Service Days each week. This typically provides enough coverage for:

• arrival and recovery work
• mid-week adjustments after skiing
• rotating guests with different needs
• end-of-week restoration

Your final schedule will be customized based on your household’s itinerary and preferences.

---

5. What’s included in the retainer — and what’s billed separately?

Your seasonal retainer includes:

• Access to me as your dedicated provider
• Priority scheduling
• Clinical continuity throughout your stay

Billed separately:

• Individual session fees
• Extended recovery treatments or add-on modalities

You’ll review everything before onboarding so expectations remain clear and clean.

---

6. Can this retainer support post-ski injuries or medical recovery?

Yes — within scope.

I provide advanced clinical massage, sports recovery work, and the kind of in-home support that helps with soreness, overuse, and general high-altitude fatigue.

If a medical injury occurs, I can communicate — with your consent — directly with your MD, PT, or existing care team to ensure your care is safe, aligned, and supported.

---

7. What’s the onboarding process if we’re hosting multiple guests throughout the season?

Once your retainer is secured, we’ll outline your household rhythm, guest flow, and any travel windows.

A few boundaries remain consistent:

• Up to 4 hours per day, 5 days per week

• Every guest completes a ClinicSense health intake form

You remain the primary point of care

You’ll receive a simple, streamlined process for handling guest session requests so everyone receives care without disrupting your plans or exceeding retainer limits.
