  • Where will my massage or bodywork session take place?

    Your massage or bodywork session will be conducted in a tranquil setting designed to promote relaxation. The room will be comfortably warm, with soothing music playing softly in the background. You'll be positioned on a specially designed massage table for optimal comfort during your treatment.
  • Must I be completely undressed?

    While most massage and bodywork treatments are typically performed with the client undressed, the level of undress is entirely at your discretion. We prioritize your comfort and will ensure you remain fully draped throughout the session, regardless of your choice of attire.
  • Will the practitioner be present when I disrobe?

    Your privacy is important to us. After providing instructions, your practitioner will exit the room, allowing you to disrobe and position yourself comfortably on the massage table. You'll be able to cover yourself with a clean sheet or towel before the practitioner re-enters.
  • Will I be covered during the session?

    We ensure your modesty and comfort at all times. You will remain draped with a sheet or towel throughout the session, with only the area being worked on exposed at any given time.
  • What parts of my body will be massaged?

    A full body massage typically includes work on the back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. However, the specific areas treated can be customized based on your preferences and needs.
  • What will the massage or bodywork feel like?

    If you've chosen a Swedish massage, you can expect long, flowing strokes designed to relax your muscles and calm your nervous system. As your body relaxes, the practitioner may apply deeper pressure to address specific areas of tension. We use oil or lotion to allow smooth movements and nourish your skin. Please communicate any discomfort so we can adjust our technique. Remember, relaxation is key to maximizing the benefits of your session.
  • Are there different kinds of massage and bodywork?

    Indeed, there is a wide variety of massage and bodywork techniques available. These range from gentle, relaxing strokes to more focused, therapeutic methods. We'd be happy to discuss the various options and help determine which approach would be most beneficial for your specific needs.
  • How will I feel after the massage or bodywork session?

    Most clients report feeling deeply relaxed after their session. You may notice relief from chronic muscle tension and soreness. While some initial drowsiness is common, many people experience increased energy levels, improved focus, and enhanced productivity in the days following their treatment.
  • What are the benefits of massage and bodywork?

    Massage and bodywork offer numerous benefits, including relief from chronic pain and tension, improved circulation, enhanced joint flexibility, and reduced mental and physical fatigue. These therapies can also accelerate muscle injury recovery, improve posture, and potentially lower blood pressure. Additionally, many clients report better sleep, increased focus, decreased anxiety, and an overall sense of well-being.
  • Are there any medical conditions that would make massage or bodywork inadvisable?

    Your health and safety are our primary concerns. Before your session, we'll ask you to complete a health questionnaire and inform us of any medical conditions or medications. If you're under a doctor's care, we may require a written recommendation for massage therapy. For certain conditions, your doctor's approval might be necessary before we can proceed with treatment.
  • What should I do during the massage or bodywork session?

    Feel free to ask your therapist any questions before your massage. During the session, make sure you’re comfortable. Your therapist may guide you to adjust your position or move in certain ways. Many people close their eyes and fully relax, but don’t hesitate to speak up if you'd like adjustments, such as more pressure or a different blanket. You’re welcome to ask about the session or any techniques being used at any time.
