Your Questions, Answered
Welcome to Veluna Wellness™—where your transformative wellness journey begins. Below are answers to frequently asked questions to help you prepare for your personalized session.
Q: How do i book my session?
At this time, I am not currently offering sessions. I’m in the process of relocating and preparing to open my private practice in Santa Fe, NM. If you’d like to be notified when bookings open again, you can join the waiting list by emailing me directly at selene@velunawellness.com.
Thank you for your patience—I look forward to welcoming you when the time is right.
Q: What should i expect during my session?
Your journey begins with a brief consultation to understand your specific needs and wellness goals. I will then step out to allow you to settle in comfortably on the massage table. I provide all necessary equipment, including a premium massage table, fresh linens, customized tools for your treatment, and create a calming atmosphere with soothing music, gentle aromatherapy (if applicable), and subtle mood lighting.
Each session is a curated healing experience tailored to your personal goals—be it relaxation, pain relief, or deep emotional healing. I utilize a blend of techniques to improve circulation, stimulate lymphatic drainage, promote relaxation, release tension, and support muscle recovery. To deepen your experience, sessions can include acroamatic therapy, guided breathwork, or personalized energy work — offered as thoughtful enhancements.
You’re encouraged to share preferences regarding pressure, temperature, or areas of discomfort at any point during your session. Afterward, I offer personalized recommendations to support your well-being and guide you on your transformative path. Additional services are available upon request.
Q: How should I prepare for my session?
To fully experience the benefits of your session, please create a peaceful, quiet space, free from distractions. Ensure there is enough room for the massage table and a nearby outlet so I can set up the optimal environment for your experience.
To prepare your body for relaxation, avoid heavy meals and caffeine beforehand, as they can interfere with deep rest. You are welcome to undress to your comfort level; you’ll remain professionally draped for privacy throughout.
Q: What kind of pressure do you use during your sessions?
My work prioritizes healing and relaxation over intensity. I use a balanced, intuitive pressure designed to release tension, regulate the nervous system, and restore flow without causing discomfort. My work may not be ideal if you’re seeking intense, high-pressure massage — but it’s deeply effective for those seeking lasting release and nervous system support.
Q: Do you work on “knots”?
Yes, absolutely—but not by forcing them.
What most people call “knots” are usually a mix of things like trigger points, fascial restrictions, and overworked or tense muscle fibers.
I use a blend of slow, focused pressure, gentle movement, and nervous-system-based techniques to help those areas soften—without pushing to the point of pain.
Real release happens when your body feels safe, not under attack.
Q: Do I have to receive energy work or spiritual elements in my session?
No. Every session is fully personalized. If you prefer a straightforward therapeutic approach—focused on physical tension and nervous system support—I’ve got you. Just let me know your preferences in the intake form or when we begin. I meet you where you are.
Q: Do you offer energy-work only sessions?
Yes. While energy work is often offered as an add-on to massage, I also provide standalone cranial sacral and energy-based sessions for those seeking subtle, non-invasive healing. These sessions do not require undressing and focus entirely on nervous system regulation, emotional clearing, or energetic realignment.
What I offer is sometimes compared to Reiki—though it’s not the traditional kind. My approach is more intuitive and ritual-based, blending somatic presence with subtle energy work. Think of it as grounded, sacred support for your emotional and energetic body. Sessions may include cranial sacral therapy, guided breathwork, and intuitive ritual work tailored to your needs.
Q: Will i be touched during energy work or cranial sacral sessions?
Cranial sacral and energy-based sessions are performed with very light touch, if any at all. These sessions are ideal for those looking for emotional release, nervous system support, or energetic clarity, without traditional massage or undressing.
Q: Is there a travel fee for mobile services?
Yes, a $50 travel fee applies for sessions held beyond a 10-mile radius of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Travel within 10 miles is included at no extra cost.
For long-distance sessions (25+ miles, including Taos or Albuquerque), I offer VIP travel bookings with custom pricing based on location and availability. If you’re interested in booking outside the Santa Fe metro area, please inquire about rates.
For destination bookings, including fly-in requests or private wellness experiences, availability is limited. Please email me directly to discuss options.
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
To honor both our time and my commitment to providing exceptional service, full prepayment is required at the time of booking. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours' notice to avoid fees.
Cancellations within 24 hours will incur a 50% cancellation fee.
No-shows will be charged in full.
Payments are non-refundable, but if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance, you may reschedule your session at no extra cost.
If you need to make changes to your appointment, please contact me as soon as possible.
Q: I’m new to holistic wellness—how will my experience be tailored?
Venturing into holistic wellness with Veluna Wellness means receiving a session that’s not just personalized but also educational. For newcomers, I focus on demystifying the practices and explaining the benefits of each technique used. This includes how specific bodywork methods like myofascial release or cranial sacral therapy go beyond typical massage to target deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, fostering both physical and energetic healing. Our initial consultation is crucial for setting the stage, where I learn about your physical conditions and any emotional or spiritual aspects you're open to exploring. This allows me to craft a session that introduces you to holistic wellness in a comfortable, supportive way, with clear explanations of each step and how they contribute to your overall well-being. Optional enhancements are suggested with an educational perspective, helping you understand their value and decide what might best suit your journey.
