Need to Know - and Frequently Asked Questions
​
Arrival
Please arrive 5 or 10 minutes early to ensure that we can start your session on time. Extra time cannot be given for late arrivals.
​​
Cancelling
Provide at least 24 hours notice for any cancellations. If you cancel less than 12 hours before your session or no/show you will be responsible for the full cost. Credit cards may be kept on file for this purpose.
​
Your Comfort
Your comfort is always the priority.
Clothing - some clients fully undress, some leave on clothing. You will always be covered. Only the area being massaged will be uncovered.
​
Adjustments - can be made for pressure, positioning, or technique. Please let me know if you are ever uncomfortable.
Quiet - a calm, quiet environment supports parasympathetic nervous system activation, which enhances relaxation, tissue response and therapeutic benefits. Conversation is welcome when necessary, though many clients naturally prefer silence during treatment.
​
Pain - some massage techniques may cause a little discomfort as tension or sore muscles are worked, but it should never be painful. Please let me know if you are experiencing any pain so that adjustments can be made.
Age
Humans under 18 will require a parent or guardian to be present in the room during massage.

After Massage
Rest, drink water, and listen to your body. Soreness can occur - treat with a heating pad and light stretching.
