We want you to know what to expect before, during and after your massage therapy session and/ or your customized facial experience.

After all, we are in the stress-relieving business, and we certainly don’t want you worried about any of this. So, sit back, chill and read on!

• No perfumes or cologne, nothing scented

• Your medical history will be discussed with the Massage Therapist.
• You will be asked if you have a particular area that you would like the therapist to concentrate on, such as your lower back.

• Medical history will be thoroughly discussed in addition to current medications, the reason for seeking massage therapy.
• Insurance information will be taken, if applicable.
• A Range of Motion Evaluation will be done if necessary.
• An individual, personalized treatment plan will be created.

• We will discuss your progress, how you are feeling and how you’ve been since our last session.
• You will relax on the table, covered with a fresh sheet and blanket and will be warmly draped at all times, except for the area being worked on. If at any point you are uncomfortable, please let the therapist know.
• The temperature in the room, the lights and the noise level should all be pleasant.
• The massage should feel comfortable at all times. The work will always be within your comfort level. However, if it is Deep Tissue or trigger point work, and the therapist feels it may cause some discomfort, you will be advised ahead of time.
• If the therapist feels it is necessary to discuss her/his findings during the massage, she/he will, otherwise we can discuss it afterwards.
• Please keep in mind that muscles can sometimes be like minds, “difficult to read.“ We will try our best, but ultimately you know what feels good and what doesn’t. If you even think the therapist is getting close to making you uncomfortable, let her/him know.
• The therapist will leave the room after the massage so that you may change in private. It is very important that you get up slowly and take your time. Sometimes massage can cause a little light- headedness. Re-orient yourself. We will then discuss your session and follow-up care, as well as discussing your treatment plan.

• It is suggested to drink extra fluids that do not contain caffeine or alcohol. This will help prolong the effects of the massage. The fluids will help the muscles stay “looser“ longer. In addition, it will help flush the accumulated chemicals that were released.
• The work consists of working the muscles, meaning it can sometimes feel like a work out for you as well.
• Feeling a little sore afterwards is not uncommon. Proper fluid intake will keep this to a minimum. Being a little sore is different than feeling achy or having pain. Any aches or pain should be reported immediately to your doctor!
