Where will my massage take place?

In a quiet comfortable room, where you are 

properly draped at all times to keep you warm

and comfortable

 

Must I be completely undressed?

Most massage techniques are performed with 

oils or lotions, therefore the client will undress; 

however, you may decide what amount of 

clothing you prefer to wear for your own 

comfort.

 

Will the therapist be present when I disrobe?

The therapist will leave the room while you

undress, relax onto the table and cover yourself

with a clean sheet.

 

What parts of my body will be massaged?

A typical massage will include your entire body 

except breast and groin areas.  

 

What will my massage feel like?

It depends on the techniques used.  Oils and

lotions are available to hydrate the skin and 

prevent excessive friction.  Your session will 

start with broad, flowing strokes to help calm 

your nervous system and relax exterior muscle 

tension. The pressure will gradually increase to

your comfort level.

 

Are there different kinds of massage?

Yes.  Various techniques include rubbing strokes, 

rocking movement and application of pressure to 

specific points.

 

How long will my session last?

We offer massage sessions from 1/2 to 2 hours.

 

What should I do during the session?

Make yourself comfortable.  The therapist will 

gently move you as needed.  Feel free to ask 

questions about the massage or technique you are

receiving.

 

Are there any medical conditions that would make massage inadvisable?

Yes - If you are being treated for a serious condition you need to discuss this when you make your appointment. We may need your doctor's permission before working on you. 

 

How will I feel after my massage?

After your massage, you will feel more relaxed 

and flexible, with less mental and physical fatigue 

and stress.  You may experience some momentary

light-headedness, which will go away.  If you have

deep tissue work, you may experience muscle 

soreness the following day.  Drinking extra water 

will help prevent detoxifying effects.
