▼ Do I need to do anything to prepare for massage? ▼
Please have healthy hygiene before arriving.
Example:If you just worked out, been doing something physical all day, been doing an activity that has you partially covered in dirt or something else, and need a shower, please shower first.
No, you do not need to shave any hair before an appointment. That is not a thing. Don't worry about it.
▲ Can I bring someone with me? ▲
▼ Can I bring someone with me? ▼
Because I treat in my home, I only allow the person being treated to be in the room. Please don't bring a friend, a family member, a spouse, a child, a pet.
There is many restaurants, cafes, park space, and a local library though that are available to go to if someone is with you.
( Only exception is a parent / guardian accompanying a child )
▲ Do I have to bring anything with me? ▲
▼ Do I have to bring anything with me? ▼
Just yourself, ready for a massage.
▲ Should I arrive early to my appointment? ▲
▼ Should I arrive early to my appointment? ▼
Not necessary. You can show up 5 minutes early if you like or right on time.
The only reason you would need to arrive early is if you need to fill out a health history / intake form. (These need to be filled out if it is your first massage with the clinic or if it has been 1 year since you last filled it out )
During the treatment
▲ Can I change the pressure during the massage? ▲
▼ Can I change the pressure during the massage? ▼
Yes you can.
I am so happy to change my level of pressure.
Sometimes you want light pressure, sometimes you want deep pressure.
And no worries, sometimes you are getting lighter, and then you ask for deeper. And oh gosh that is a
little too deep but now I want lighter but I just asked for lighter.
Hey hey, it's ok. Lets flip flop a little bit and see what works for you. I am happy to keep
trying to figure out what you want and let's go with that.
And sometimes that may change on the day. Cool let's change it up. I am always happy to adjust.
▲ What kind of music should I expect? ▲
▼ What kind of music should I expect? ▼
I like to listen to Alternative / Indie / Funky . 95% of the music I have on my playlist doesn't have lyrics. I make it myself and am always willing to share it.
And you are allowed to request no music, or the volume to be louder or quieter.
And yes, you can request to listen to a podcast during your treatment. But I have to be allowed to talk ( to ask questions due to the massage. The massage comes first )
▲ I like to talk during the massage / I like a quiet massage with no talking. ▲
▼ I like to talk during the massage / I like a quiet massage with no talking. ▼
I follow your lead.
If you talk, I will talk, we'll laugh, we'll chat, we'll have a grand ol' time :)
If you are quiet, I will stay quiet. And it will be the quietest massage you could ever want.
The only time I need to talk is if I need to know something that comes up during the massage, or if it's time for you to turn over.
Either way I am good and will give the best massage I can give regardless.
▲ I sometimes fall asleep and snore during the massage. ▲
▼ I sometimes fall asleep and snore during the massage. ▼
It's fine, I like to think of your snoring as a remix with the music that is playing.
▲ When should I expect to feel better? ▲
▼ When should I expect to feel better? ▼
Each persons concerns are different to each individual. There is many things to consider when trying to gauge how long healing can take. During the intake we can discuss what is going on, talk about realistic expectations, discuss what massage can do for you, see if future appointments are necessary, if you need to do some at home self care, and how often you should come in.
Most people feel the full effects and benefits of massage after they have had a good nights sleep.
▲ I am uncomfortable with ( insecurity about self ) ▲
▼ I am uncomfortable with ( insecurity about self ) ▼
I am all about being body positive. I want you to feel as comfortable during the massage as possible.
On my end, I have seen a million dry feet, moles, body hair, cellulite, fat, odd marks, scars, and anything else you could feel uncomfortable about; and let me tell you, I truly, 100%, do not care. I'm not judging your body. My mind is all about how do you feel, what is going on with your muscles/bones/joints, how can I make it feel better.
On your end, sometimes it isn't about how I or anyone else see's you, it's just how you feel. And I am never going to make you do something you don't want to do. As good as a foot massage is for you, you don't have to get your feet massaged and I'm not going to guilt you or try to talk you into it. Whenever you are ready to have where ever it is to be worked on, then we can. Until then, we can massage other areas.
▲ Do I have to undress fully? ▲
▼ Do I have to undress fully? ▼
There is many different ways to do massage.
The most popular is taking off all of your clothes and being under the sheet swith only the body part being un-draped while being worked on, and then re-draped once finished.
Some people choose to keep their undergarments on (bra, underwear, boxers) and that is ok.
Some people also choose to have full clothing on during the massage.
All of these are ok. Just know that if you keep a bra on, it will get oil on it. And if you have clothing on, oil can only be used on the neck and hands.All options are ok and up to you.
▲ I may have said some things during the massage that were personal and I don't want other people to know. ▲
▼ I may have said some things during the massage that were personal and I don't want other people to know. ▼
Anything you say during your massage is between you and me. It is no one else's business. Even if your parents or significant other or anyone else were to ask what was talked about, I wouldn't and would not be allowed to tell them.
Think of it as "What happens in Las Vegas (the treatment room),stays in Las Vegas (the treatment room)
▲ Do you use essential oils ? ▲
▼ Do you use essential oils ? ▼
I can use essential oils during your massage free of charge if you like.
I currently carry doTERRA brand essential oils.
I can add them to the diffuser in the room so you can enjoy the scent of them during treatment.
I can also add a couple drops to the massage oil during treatment as well.
When you arrive for your massage you can choose from my current selection of available oils.
I am afraid I don't sell them though. If that is something you are interested in I can let you know of places in the area that currently sell them.
Draping during Treatment

1) Regardless of your gender, draping will stay the same for the intended area being worked on.
