WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A MASSAGE SESSION

Take a Deep Breath and Relax

Mutual respect, courtesy, professionalism, confidentiality.  You will be draped appropriately by a sheet (and blanket), with only the area being massaged exposed.  Me, a licensed professional massage therapist.  I will communicate about your medical conditions and your expectations for the massage.  Client communication is encouraged, please feel free to ask questions or comment on how you're feeling during your massage (especially if you are uncomfortable), I'll check in as well throughout your session. 

It's all about your comfort! It's all about you! So, it's your choice to chat, listen to music or quietly relax during the massage.

Based on your expectations and areas of pain, I will explain the nature of your massage, techniques and areas of the body I will focus on.  We will also discuss if there are any areas of the body to stay away from (i.e. Face, Feet, Scalp, etc.).  You will be asked before and during your massage about the level of pressure - LIGHT, MEDIUM, FIRM. The level of pressure can be adjusted at any time during the session.

You will be asked to undress to your comfort level. If you want to remain fully clothed, you can.  If you want to just remove your shirt, you can.  If you want to remove all clothing except underwear, you can.  It's all about your comfort.  I will leave the room and wait until you are on the massage table under the sheet/blanket (draped).

Your massage session should last from 30 minutes to 90 minutes depending on you r appointment scheduled.  Once the session has ended, I will check in one last time to see how you're feeling.  You will be asked to take your time getting up and off the massage table and I will give you privacy to dress.

I will ask for your feedback on how your body feels and scheduling your next appointment.  

If at anytime you feel uncomfortable during a massage, you have the right to stop a massage.
