Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes — and the honest answer is: do whatever serves you best. Some people find conversation helps them relax and feel at ease, especially in an early session. Others drop into a deeper state of rest when they’re quiet. Both are completely valid, and neither is the “right” way to receive bodywork.

    What matters most is that you feel free to speak whenever you need to — about pressure, comfort, temperature, or anything else. Communication during a session is always welcome and never an interruption. If something feels too intense, too light, or you’d like Jordan to spend more time on a particular area, just say so.

    If you’re not sure what you prefer, the session will naturally find its own rhythm. You may start with a bit of conversation and settle into quiet as you relax — that’s very common. Follow what your body needs.

  • We combine a thoughtful, human-centered approach with clear communication and reliable results. Jordan’s integrative, somatic approach is built around Intrinsic Release™ - the lasting physical and emotional shift that happens when skilled, present bodyworker meets a body ready for something more.

    It’s not just what we do—it’s how we do it that sets us apart.

  • Both are deeply personalized and integrative — the difference is primarily in intention and layering.

    Deep Work

    Deep Work is results-oriented therapeutic bodywork focused on specific physical outcomes: chronic pain, persistent tension, movement limitations, recovery, and nervous system regulation. Sessions integrate deep tissue techniques, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, reflexology, and therapeutic Swedish massage, customized to your goals with clinical intention and moment-to-moment responsiveness.

    This is the right choice when you’re working on something — a specific area of pain, a pattern your body keeps returning to, or physical recovery from training, performance needs, or daily strain.

    Signature Services

    Signature Services are full-spectrum integrative experiences designed to meet both physical and energetic needs in a single session. They layer modalities — aromatherapy, heat, craniosacral therapy, reflexology, sound, polarity, and more — to create a curated experience that addresses stress, emotional holding, and the kind of depletion that goes beyond muscle tension.

    Somatic Alchemy, our core Signature Service, is described as “what you want and what you need” — the balance your body arrived seeking, whether you knew what that was or not.

    Not sure which is right for you?

    If you have a specific physical concern or area of focus, start with the Deep Work. If you’re feeling depleted, overextended, or desire a more immersive restorative experience, One of the Signature Services, such as Somatic Alchemy may be what you’re seeking.

    Cancellations with 24 or more hours’ notice:

    No charge. You are welcome to reschedule at no additional cost.

    Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice:

    The full session fee may be charged, as your appointment time cannot typically be filled on short notice.

    To cancel or reschedule, contact us at (310) 666-0891 or yourmassage@myopothecary.com.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

  • Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving for development, finding balance, exploring modalities that offer you the greatest path toward success..

  • You don't need to bring or wear anything special. Clients undress to their comfort level — which for most people means removing everything except underwear, or undressing completely — and then get under a sheet on the table before the session begins. You'll be covered the entire time, and only the area being worked is ever uncovered.

    If you'd prefer to stay partially or fully clothed, that's completely fine — just let Jordan know when you arrive. Certain techniques adapt well to clothed work, and your comfort sets the standard.

    A few things worth knowing going in: you'll have full privacy to undress and re-dress. A unique system is in place for you to notify Jordan it is time to re-enter the room. You can ask for any area to be re-covered at any time — no explanation needed. The goal is for you to feel settled and safe from the moment you lie down.

    If you have specific concerns about draping or modesty before your first session, feel free to reach out ahead of time via our contact page..
