Why "Hands by Hans"

Clients have called me Hans for years. The name stuck because it captured something the formal version didn't — the sense that the work is personal, hand-delivered, and built around who's on the table.

What to expect your first time

Plan for about 75 minutes start to finish for a 60-minute session. We'll spend 5–10 minutes at the beginning talking through what's been bothering you, what you've tried, and what would feel like a win today. Then you're on the table for your full booked time — I don't cut into bodywork with long intake.

During the session I check in early on pressure and a few times after that. You can always adjust; "a little lighter" or "more right there" is always welcome.

Afterwards I'll give you one or two specific things to do between now and next time — usually a stretch, a self-release, or a behavioral nudge (a different desk posture, a sleep position, a way to carry your bag).

Booking

The fastest way in is through the booking link at the top of this page. If you'd rather talk first, the spa phone number is in the footer and someone there will route you to me.
