For your best experience, your therapist will play a relaxing music track. You are welcome to bring your own music if you have a specific request, but please check with your therapist. It is important that what helps you to relax is not distracting to your therapist in order for s/he to focus on you. If what your therapist chooses to play while working on you is not relaxing for you or bothers you in any way, please let him/her know and s/he will change it for you!

True, massage therapists are not doctors. But, there are medical issues that massage is not appropriate for. Your massage therapist has been trained to be aware of those issues, as well as what types of strokes and techniques will be most beneficial for the issues that you do have. There are also some medical issues that massage may be appropriate for, but only with your doctor's permission. If you aren't sure about this before booking your massage, please ask us at that time or ask your doctor.

We typically use pure cold pressed grapeseed oil. We have lotion available upon request for a $15 additional fee. Generally speaking, oil is better for dryer skin and lotion is preferred for very oily skin. Some of our therapists prefer lotion over oil and will use this unless you have requested one in particular. Please let us know when you book if you have a preference for oil or lotion.

Please ensure that if you have a skin issue that you discuss this when making your appointment to ensure that massage is appropriate for this.

You should not plan to do any strenuous activity right after your massage. Your muscles will be loosened up, so lifting heavy items or other strenuous activity could cause an injury. You will also be "undoing" the work that your massage therapist has just done - tensing your muscles back up.

Most massage therapists also recommend that you are gentle with your body in other ways following your massage, as you will be detoxifying. You should eat healthy foods, drink plenty of water if that is appropriate for you, and perhaps even take a soothing bath if you do not have any medical issues that contraindicate this. All of this will aid in the detoxification (aka "detox") process.

If you have regular massage, Reiki, or any other healing modality that causes detoxification on a regular basis, your detox reaction will likely be minimal. If you haven't practiced self-care in a long while, it may be more intense and could even involve fatigue, mild flu-type symptoms, or headache. Practicing good self-care following your massage will help prevent this or at least speed up the body's ability to flush the toxins and return you to a healthier state.
