VITAL QUESTIONS

**READ ME FIRST**

This is YOUR session. Speak up!

Why is this so important? If you want anything changed: pressure, areas worked, music or if you are too hot or too cold ... speak up!

You will not hurt the my feelings by asking for something that will make you more comfortable. As your massage therapist, I want this to be the best experience for you to relax and enjoy.

Also, what you requested in one session may be different in another. If you had a full body massage last time you had a session, but this time you only want your back/neck/shoulders/arms worked, it's perfectly fine to ask.

You will enjoy your sessions so much more!

WHAT WILL MY FIRST SESSION BE LIKE?

You will be asked to fill out a health history form in most cases, this can be done online. After reviewing your intake, I will begin by asking you general questions to establish what areas you would like worked on, if there are any conditions needing to be addressed, and to determine if massage is appropriate for you. I may perform certain assessments to evaluate your condition and to see if you have any presenting complaints.

 

It is important to list all health concerns and medications so that I can adapt the session to your specific needs without doing any harm. 

DO I HAVE TO BE BE COMPLETELY UNDRESSED?

It's up to you. You should undress to your desired level of comfort. For a full body massage, most get completely undressed. However, if you will be more comfortable during the session if you leave your underwear on, that’s fine. I will work around the clothes you left on as best as I can. You will undress in the privacy of your massage room and will be securely covered by a sheet during your massage session, regardless of what you choose to remove..

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET A MASSAGE?

For those who use massage as preventative care or to manage daily stress, once or twice a month is common. However, weekly sessions may be necessary if you are receiving massage for injury relief, to increase mobility, or to relieve chronic pain. We will discuss your complaints and goals to determine what is appropriate for you.

WHAT OF FORMS PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?

I accept Credit and Health Savings account cards, cash, checks and Venmo.

DO YOU SELL GIFT CERTIFICATES?

Yes, you can purchase our gift certificates online HERE. It's quick and easy, and makes for a great gift for your loved ones!

People Also Ask

Is massage safe if I have a medical condition?

​

In many cases, yes. Certain conditions may require adjustments or a medical clearance first. Always list health conditions and medications on your intake form so the session can be adapted safely.

 

Can I request work on only one area?

Yes. You can request focus on specific areas like neck, shoulders, or back. Sessions do not have to be full body to be effective.

​

What should I do if I feel sore after a massage?

Mild soreness may occur, especially after more intense or deeper work. Light movement, hydration, and rest usually help. Soreness should ease within a day or two.

​

Is massage therapy helpful for chronic pain?

Massage may help reduce muscle tension and improve movement, which can make chronic pain more manageable. Results vary, and sessions are adjusted based on your condition and response.

​

Do I need to drink water after my massage?

Drinking water is recommended to stay hydrated and support normal recovery. There’s no special requirement, just aim for normal daily hydration.

​

Can I talk during my session?

Yes. You can talk as much or as little as you want. Silence is also completely fine. This is your session.

​

What if I fall asleep during my massage?

That’s common and not a problem at all. It usually means your body is relaxed.

​

How do I know if the pressure is right?

If pressure feels uncomfortable or not effective, say something. Adjustments are normal and expected, and feedback helps improve the session.
