Your First Session

Please make sure to arrive on time to your session.  I schedule an extra (free) 5 minutes during your first session so that you can tell me exactly what you are looking for: 

• Type of massage (Deep tissue, Relaxation, Sports, Prenatal, Pain relief)
• Focus of massage (Neck, shoulders, back, feet...)
• Pressure (Ranging from gentle and light to deep tissue)    
• Comfort (Lighting, Temperature, Music) 
• What have you liked about other massages?  What have you disliked?

After we finish our conversation, I'll show you to the room.  In privacy in the massage room, you can undress to your comfort level and slide under the soft sheets on the padded massage table.   Only the part of your body that is being massaged is uncovered. 

 

I will knock to ensure that you are covered before I enter the massage room. Unscented lotion is used for the massage.  My clients like lotion because there is no oil to mess up their hair or clothes.  However, if YOU like oil or aromatherapy, let me know when you call to schedule your appointment and I will buy a bottle just for you.

 

I encourage you to tell me ASAP if you need anything to be more comfortable or satisfied with your massage.  Lights too bright?  I can turn them down or give you an eye pillow.  Don't like the music?  I've got more to choose from!  And most importantly, let me know if you want more time on your neck or less pressure on your legs.  Yes, I'm an expert - but I'm not psychic.  

     After the session

My clients tell me they feel more relaxed and less tense, with less pain and easier movement.  Drinking an extra 12 ounces of water after your session will help your body get the maximum benefit of the massage. 

 

After several sessions, many clients tell me that their pain has decreased to the lowest level in years, and report that they can move easier and do more of the things they like to do.  Pregnant women report that they feel relief from their discomfort and get a better night's sleep. 

 

For the best health benefits, it is important to get on a regular schedule - weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly massages will keep your muscles loosened and keep your stress level down.
