What happens at a first massage?

Before the session, discuss your preferred massage, areas of focus and comfortable pressure. Your therapist can explain the session and privacy arrangements. You may ask for lighter pressure or stop at any time.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment. What you wear during the session depends on the technique and your comfort. Ask about draping and privacy; some techniques, including Thai massage, may be performed in comfortable clothing.

Should massage hurt?

Massage should not cause severe pain. Tell your therapist immediately if pressure is uncomfortable. Discuss skin sensitivities and fragrance preferences before products are used.

When should I seek advice?

If you are pregnant, recently had surgery or an injury, take blood thinners, or have a significant health condition, ask your healthcare professional whether massage is appropriate. Do not delay medical care for a health concern. Avoid sharing sensitive health information in the online form.
