Preparing for Your Session

Before your appointment, make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid heavy meals. Staying hydrated helps your muscles respond better to the therapy. Wear comfortable clothing and arrive a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork.

What to Bring

While we provide all necessary linens and oils, you might want to bring a change of clothes if you plan to return to work or go out afterward. If you have any specific allergies or sensitivities, please inform us in advance so we can accommodate your needs.

During the Massage

Once in the treatment room, your therapist will discuss your goals for the session. Feel free to communicate any areas of tension or discomfort. You will be draped appropriately at all times to ensure your comfort and privacy.

Relax and Enjoy

The key to a beneficial massage is relaxation. Breathe deeply, let go of any tension, and trust in your therapist's expertise. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to speak up. Your comfort is our top priority.

After the Massage

Post-massage, it's important to take it easy and allow your body to adjust. We recommend drinking water to help flush out any toxins released during the session. You might feel a bit lightheaded or sore, which is completely normal and should subside soon.
