How to prepare?

The simplest and easiest way to warm up tissues is to have a warm shower before your treatment. Clean skin will benefit from the creams being applied, warm water will help the muscles relax, and a power shower will help further enhance the effects by stimulating circulation.

Personal Hygiene

Please refrain from using heavily scented body products. No perfume or colognes.

What do I wear?

You may undress to your comfort level. You will always be appropriately draped with a sheet. Feel free to discuss this more with your therapist at your session.

Silent Treatments

Talking keeps the brain waves from moving into “theta”, which is the beginning state of when the parasympathetic response begins to do what it does. Silent sessions are encouraged.

How often should I receive bodywork?

Monthly may work well in order to help your body stay in good condition and maintain overall wellness in combination with at-home exercise. Receiving regular massage isn’t just luxury; sometimes, it is a necessity. You may need more frequent massages to help relieve specific painful symptoms or reduce stress and anxiety. Bodywork and other forms of self-care may help to decrease stressors.

Recommendations for integrating regular bodywork & massage into your lifestyle

• Choose a frequency that works within your budget

• Book regular massage sessions ahead of time, this way it's already on the calendar

• It's easier to book maintenance bodywork now and have to reschedule later. If something comes up, you can always reschedule within the 24 hours notice

• Choose a day of the week and time that will generally work with your schedule

Light, Medium, or Firm Pressure?

Pressure is subjective and can vary from therapist, modality, or simply with where you are mentally or physically at the moment. Please feel free to discuss preference before starting treatment, or during the session. Open communication is always encouraged.

Tipping

A gratuity is supposed to be an expression of gratitude. Please do not feel obligated or stressed to tip. It is appreciated but never expected.
