Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect during a massage session?
We aim to provide the most welcoming and comfortable experience for our clients. Your therapist will review your intake form, introduce themselves, and take you into the massage room. At this point, there will be a verbal consultation to confirm what you need addressed today and the type of massage you are seeking. The therapist will leave the room to allow you privacy to get undressed to your level of comfort and to get comfortable under the covers on the massage table. Draping will be used during the entire session, so only the area currently being worked on will be uncovered. After your massage concludes, your therapist will check in with you before leaving the room to allow you to get dressed. If you have questions at any point before, during, or after the session, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Is massage painful?
Generally speaking, receiving massage should not be a painful or uncomfortable experience. Occasionally, there may be issues or techniques used that may be slightly painful or uncomfortable, but your therapist should be communicating with you during these times. It is important to remember that everyone’s pain tolerance and therapeutic response is different, and we are working to unlock what techniques and pressure works best for YOU. If something your therapist is doing is not to your liking, do not hesitate to communicate your preferences to your therapist.
