As of 3/21/2026, we have stopped providing mobile massage as a common service.
Due to inflation, gas prices, and the economy, we can no longer justify the time-to-cost that is required for mobile. While we did not explain in detail on our website, we will explain with a bit more information here.
Many people, rightfully, assume that we charge more for mobile because we have to haul gear, factor in gas costs and travel time. This is all part of it, yes. However, what many overlook is the actually time block required for mobile massage.
For example, in the clinic, from 1 to 4pm, a therapist can work 2 to 3 jobs. For mobile, those three hours are all spent on one hour of massage because the drive time and possible traffic delays require padding time before and after. So, if someone booked a 90 minute, we now loose nearly 4 hours of time for an hour and a half of work. The $40 increase for mobile is not making up for that extra time that could be spent working in the clinic.
More so, looking at recent data, only 1 or 2 mobile bookings come in every other month or so, meaning more people choose to come to clinic because it is cheaper and easier.
For all the reasons above, we felt it in our best interest to stop providing it as a main service.
While we do still offer a 1-hour session mobile for those who cannot leave their home for whatever reason (injury, kids, etc), that is all we will offer going forward. It is does come with a significant price jump to make up for the loss time-to-income ratio.
We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause and we thank those who used our mobile services over the years from the bottom of our hearts as you helped us build After Life Massage to the successful business it is now. 💕
