During your first massage session, I will conduct a thorough intake interview to understand your health history, specific concerns, and wellness goals. I will then explain the massage process, discuss the treatment plan, and answer any questions. You will have the opportunity to discuss your comfort level, pressure preferences, and any areas of focus. Throughout the massage, I will ensure your privacy and use draping techniques to ensure your modesty and comfort.
Ask MeThe frequency of massages depends on your individual needs and goals. First, get your body back where it should be, then maintenance will help hold you there. I recommend maintenance is every 3 weeks instead of monthly because the body starts to slow down again and it is like waking it up. Let's keep it alive and active by more frequent tune-ups
Ask MeMassage is generally safe and well-tolerated by most individuals, with minimal side effects. However, it’s not uncommon to have some temporary soreness or mild bruising, especially in deep tissue or targeted therapies. These effects are usually short-lived and should subside within a day or two.
Ask MeAbsolutely! Massage is known for its calming and stress-relieving effects. It can significantly reduce anxiety by promoting relaxation and releasing feel-good hormones called endorphins. The gentle touch and soothing environment during a massage session positively impact the nervous system, helping you feel more grounded and at ease.
