FIRST TIMERS
  1. Welcome and Consultation: At the start of the session, share any concerns, preferences, or specific areas of focus with your therapist.

  2. Privacy and Comfort: Your privacy and comfort are prioritized. Before the session begins, you'll have time and space to undress to your comfort level. Wear as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. This means naked if you want to be. Massage therapists are trained to respect your modesty and will use draping techniques to ensure your privacy.

  3. Communicate Openly: Share any concerns, preferences, or areas you'd like the therapist to focus on. Communication ensures a personalized and comfortable experience.

  4. Relax and Breathe: Take deep breaths and consciously relax your muscles. This helps the therapist work more effectively and enhances the overall benefits of the massage.

  5. Hydrate Before and After: Drink water before and after your massage to stay hydrated. Massage releases toxins, and adequate hydration helps flush them out of your system.

  6. Feedback is Welcome: Don't hesitate to provide feedback during the massage. Let your therapist know if the pressure is too light or firm. Your comfort is our priority.

  7. Enjoy the Afterglow: Take your time getting up after the massage. Enjoy the relaxed feeling and allow your body to adjust before rushing back into your routine.
