What to Expect at Your Massage
Please try and arrive at least ten minutes prior to your session if it is your first time working with me to allow time to do avbrief intake form.
Clients will relax in a quiet, comfortable and clean environment. We will briefly discuss your specific needs and injuries, then I will leave the room to prepare for your treatment while you undress to any degree that you are comfortable with. Depending on your specific needs, you will either start facing up or down fully under the sheets or blankets on a clean massage table. I will keep you appropriately draped at all times, only uncovering areas that I am working. In the Thai style of massage, no oil is used, and all work is done fully clothed on a mattress on the floor.
My style of massage is integrative, so I will be incorporating many techniques to address any issues I find, with your permission. This massage is to your benefit and yours alone and I hope to work together to achieve your goals. I encourage open communication around pressure as well as discomfort of any kind. I will be checking in with you throughout your session to ensure your needs are being met to the best of my ability.
