FAQ
Mobile massage questions, answered
Prices, travel, consultations, Calm Core and corporate events. Don’t see your question? Ask me directly.
Do you come to my home?
Yes. Root Massage ATL is fully mobile. I come to your home, hotel or office anywhere in metro Atlanta and bring everything needed: a professional table or chair, linens and oils. I’m based in Buckhead.
How much does a massage cost?
Swedish massage with stretch and mobility is 60 minutes $160, 90 minutes $180, 2 hours $210. The Calm Core abdominal add-on is $75 for 30–45 minutes. Prices include travel within 15 minutes of Buckhead.
Is there a travel fee?
Travel within 15 minutes’ drive of Buckhead is included. Beyond that, the travel fee is $2 per additional minute of drive time. For example, a location 30 minutes away adds $30. It’s based on time, not miles, because Atlanta traffic makes miles meaningless, and it’s confirmed during your consultation.
Can I book online?
No, on purpose. Because I travel to every client, I start with a short consultation to plan the timing, location and session around you. Send a request through the contact form or call or text (901) 413-1987, and we’ll set a time together.
What is Calm Core abdominal massage?
Calm Core is a 30–45 minute abdominal massage added to a Swedish session. Slow, gentle, clockwise strokes follow the path of digestion to help relieve bloating, gas and constipation, and to calm the nervous system. Learn more about the gut–brain connection.
Can abdominal massage help with bloating and constipation?
It may. Research, including a 2009 randomized controlled trial, found abdominal massage reduced constipation symptoms and increased bowel movements. Many people also find it relieves bloating and gas. It isn’t a substitute for medical care, and it isn’t right for everyone, so we review your health history first.
Is Swedish massage the same as deep tissue?
No. Swedish massage uses light to moderate pressure to relax the body, improve circulation and ease surface-level tension. I don’t use elbows or heavy pressure or work into deep muscle layers or old injuries. My sessions add assisted stretching for mobility.
How much does corporate chair massage cost?
Corporate chair massage events are a $150 event service fee plus $40 per person for each 15-minute session. For example: 10 people at 15 minutes each = $150 + $400 = $550.
Do you offer a demo for companies?
Yes. I offer HR and people-ops leaders a complimentary 15-minute chair massage demo so you can feel the benefits before booking an event for your team.
What do I need to have ready for my massage?
Just a quiet space about 7 × 10 feet for the massage table, or about 8 × 8 feet for a chair. I bring everything else. For Calm Core, avoid a heavy meal for about two hours beforehand.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Erica is a Georgia Licensed Massage Therapist (license #014049), a graduate of the Atlanta School of Massage and a former licensed paramedic.
What areas do you serve?
I’m based in Buckhead and travel throughout metro Atlanta, including Midtown, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Vinings, West Midtown, Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, Decatur, Dunwoody and Smyrna. Locations more than 15 minutes from Buckhead have a travel fee of $2 per extra minute.
