A first massage can bring a few questions. Knowing what to expect helps you arrive relaxed and ready to enjoy the session.
The idea behind the practice
Your practitioner will start with a short conversation about your preferences, comfort level, and anything you would like them to know. You stay in control of the experience throughout.
Small ways to begin
Arrive around ten minutes early so you are not rushed.
Share any sensitivities or areas you would like to avoid.
Speak up at any time if you would like the pressure adjusted.
Most of all, give yourself permission to rest. The session is time set aside for you.
