Key Benefits of Massage

Massage can bring about physical, mental, and emotional changes. The benefits can vary from person to person.

• Physical
• Mental
• Emotional

What to expect at your first session

If this is your first massage session there are some things you should be aware of.

Interview 

Initially we will share some information so I can learn more about your health, stressors, lifestyle, injury, work and recreation activities.

What to Wear 

For the purposes of a full body massage, it is necessary for you be disrobed. Your modesty will be maintained as you will be covered with a drape (sheet) with only the area receiving treatment being uncovered. In order to achieve maximum access to the lower back and gluteus muscles it is best that all clothing is removed, however, your comfort, feeling of safety and ability to relax is paramount so if you feel it is necessary to leave your underwear on, I can work around that.

Arrive wearing loose fitting, comfortable clothing that is easy to remove and put back on. Also, because oils are used in the course of a massage, wear clothing that will not be damaged should any remnants of those oils be remaining on your skin.

If the massage is for a particular injury, it may be that only the injured area and supporting structures need be massaged.

Are you Body Conscious?

Let’s talk about being body conscious. Are you shy about your body? Feel self conscious? Wonder about safety? Are you denying yourself the health and stress benefits of massage because of this?

One way to over come this is to be open, honest and frank during our initial conversation. Together we can overcome your fears and allow you to enjoy your massage in a safe, comfortable manner.

Massage Time is your Time 

The massage time is your time and you will be in control of how you feel and of what takes place for you. If you need something or feel uncomfortable for any reason, just say so.

Communicate your needs

In this way your therapist can provide the treatment you require.  We do not read minds, however we appreciate hearing what you have to tell us so we can serve you better.
