We believe in a balanced approach to healing and focus
on your needs during the sessions. Your wellness is what's most important
to us. For those who are new to massage, here are answers to some commonly
asked questions regarding your visit.
For an optimal experience, plan to arrive a little early before the scheduled
time of your massage. This way, if you are delayed on your way to the
appointment, you won't feel rushed and won't be adding extra stress on
yourself before a session aimed at relaxing the body and easing stress
and its affects. Also, it is a good idea not to plan on being anywhere
too soon after the massage, so you can leave the session retaining the
full affect of the massage.
Remove all jewelry that could interfere with your massage.
Remove contact lenses.
To get the most out of your massage, turn off your cell phone.
Undress to the point where you feel comfortable.
Lie on the table under the sheets.
always give feedback to your therapist. Let him/her know
if the pressure is too little or too much. Are you too cold or hot?
be sure to let the therapist know if something makes you uncomfortable
or if something he/she is doing is working well for you.
breathe deep & regular - do not hold your breath
consciously go through every body part from head to toe and relax
it. Sink all your weight into the table. Your body should be limp with
the therapist left to lift the weight. Do not assist.
allow yourself to release emotions. Occasionally during massage
emotions can be triggered. Do not feel embarrased, if you wish to cry
-do so. If you want to laugh, feel free. Our therapists are trained to
work through these emotional releases. If you wish to talk about it, rest
assured the conversation will remain completely confidential. Please understand
however, our therapists are not trained in psychology and are instructed
not to give feedback. They are simply prepared to listen. So, if you need
to get it off of your chest, feel free.
once the session has ended the therapist will allow you to relax
and slowly bring yourself back from the relaxed state you are in, dress
& get oriented. It might be necessary to wake you by letting you know
the session has ended.
give feedback to your therapist. This will allow some alterations
to be made to your next treatment for a more pleasurable experience.
drink a lot of water.
You should undress to the point where you feel comfortable.
You will be covered at all times. Your therapist will undrape the
body part to be worked at that time.
