What should I do during my massage to make the best of
it?
* Always give
feedback to your therapist. Let him/her know if the
pressure is too little or too much. Are you too cold
or hot?
* Be sure to let the therapist know if something makes you uncomfortable or if something he/she is doing is working well for you.
* Breathe deep & regular - do not hold your breath.
* Consciously go through every body part from head to toe and relax it. Sink all your weight into the table. Your body should be limp with the therapist left to lift the weight. Do not assist.
* Allow yourself to release emotions. Often during massage emotions can be triggered. Do not feel embarrassed, if you wish to cry, do so. If you want to laugh, feel free. Our therapists are trained to work through these emotional releases. If you wish to talk about it, rest assured the conversation will remain completely confidential. Please understand however, our therapists are not trained in psychology and are instructed not to give feedback. They are simply prepared to listen.

What should I do after my massage?
* Once the
session has ended the therapist will allow you to
relax and slowly bring yourself back from the relaxed
state you are in, dress & get oriented. It might
be necessary to wake you by letting you know the
session has ended.
* Give feedback to your therapist. This will allow some alterations to be made to your next treatment for a more pleasurable experience.
* Drink plenty of water.

What should I wear during my massage?
Massage is
traditionally done in the nude with towels and sheets
covering all "private areas". In many cities, clients
are required to wear underwear. However, our
therapists are trained in draping techniques to leave
all necessary body parts covered. If you are more
comfortable with more clothing, feel free to wear
what you like. Your therapist will work within your
comfort level.
