  • Trauma Informed Care

    Trauma Informed Care:

    At Happy Valley Bodyworks, we strive to provide trauma-informed, respectful, and client-centered care. Bodywork can sometimes bring up unexpected emotions or memories, known as somato-emotional release. These responses are individual and there is no expectation to discuss or explain them.

    Your comfort and consent are priorities. You may request changes, pause, or stop a session at any time. Your personal information and care are kept confidential in accordance with applicable privacy laws and professional obligations. Please share any relevant health concerns with your therapist, and know that you never need to disclose personal experiences you are not comfortable sharing.

    We welcome partnerships with your councilor or psychologist for dual sessions that involve bodywork and talk therapy simultaneously.

  • What to expect at your first appointment:

    Your first visit begins with a brief conversation about your health history, current concerns, and goals. Your therapist may perform an assessment to determine an appropriate approach and discuss a plan for your session. Your scheduled appointment time includes time for changing (disrobing and robing), consultation, assessment, and hands-on therapy. Your comfort, consent, and feedback guide your care throughout the visit. Your therapist may also discuss recommendations for follow-up care or home strategies when appropriate. goes here

  • Cancellation Policy:

    We understand that schedules can change and ask for at least 24 hours' notice when canceling or rescheduling so we can offer your appointment to another client. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice or missed appointments may incur a fee equal to the full price of the scheduled service.

    The cancellation fee will be waived in the event of illness affecting you or someone you directly care for, or when inclement weather makes travel unsafe.

    A credit card is required for online booking, but your card is not charged until your service is completed, except when applicable cancellation or no-show fees apply. Thank you for respecting our therapists' time and helping us keep appointments available for those who need care.

  • What to expect at your child's appointment:

    We work at your child’s pace, allowing time for breaks, crying, play, and comfort. Hands-on therapy may be shorter than the scheduled appointment time, as your child’s needs guide each session. We encourage you to bring a favorite toy, blanket, or comfort item. For breastfed infants, bringing a bottle of breast milk may be helpful for certain oral techniques.

    Our two family-friendly rooms include play spaces, and caregivers are always welcome to bring their children along—even when they are not receiving direct therapy. Our goal is to create a supportive, flexible environment where children and caregivers feel comfortable and safe.

  • Facility Access and Arrival:

    The main entrance to our facility is on the right side of the building.

    For your safety and security, our facility remains locked at all times. You will receive your entry code by reminder email and text message within 12 hours of your scheduled appointment.

    If you have trouble entering the facility, please call or text 814-753-1682 for assistance.

  • Service Pricing:

    Our pricing reflects each practitioner's years of experience, specialized skill set, and level of professional training. Many of our staff hold multiple degrees, professional licenses, and advanced certifications, bringing expertise beyond traditional massage therapy.

    Our current pricing tier ranges from $105- $125 per hour. Certain services—including mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy, low-level cold laser, and therapeutic exercise—require a physician's prescription or order when provided under applicable professional credentials. Prescriptions and orders must include “Athletic Training Services” and may be faxed to 814-975-9873. Our team will help you determine any requirements before your appointment.

  • Payment and Insurance Reimbersment:

    Happy Valley Bodyworks is a cash-based practice and does not bill insurance directly. We accept all major credit cards, Venmo, checks, and cash. We appreciate cash to keep our credit card processing fees to a minimum.

    Upon request, we can provide documentation to assist you in submitting your own claim to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. You are responsible for obtaining any required physician's prescription or order and the appropriate diagnostic code from your physician. Our staff will not obtain this information on your behalf.

    Reimbursement is determined by your individual insurance plan, and coverage is not guaranteed.
