What can I expect from my first session?
Before we begin our massage, we will complete an intake interview, going over your goals, expectations, and preferences. I will leave the room while you undress to your level of comfort and get on the table under the provided sheet.
During the session, you will be fully covered by a sheet except for the area I’m working on. I generally keep conversation to a minimum and play ambient music so you can relax and enjoy the massage (if you prefer to listen to a specific nature sound, podcast or audiobook, let me know in advance so I can prepare the request). I will check in with you about pressure a couple of times, but please feel free to speak up at any time to increase or decrease pressure.
After the massage, you can expect to feel relaxed and refreshed. If we did deep tissue work, the targeted area may feel sore and tender, this is completely normal.
Make sure to drink extra water to rehydrate after the session.
What should I wear?
Most clients prefer to receive their massage undressed (with or without underwear), which means you can wear whatever clothes you like to the session.
If you prefer to stay clothed during our sessions (which is totally fine!), please wear comfy clothes like yoga pants or sweats and a loose-fitting top or tank top.
What products do you use?
I use Bon Vital’ Original Massage Lotion, it is non-greasy and unscented.
If you have any questions about the ingredients or if you have allergies or product preferences, please get in touch!
Do you do pre-natal massage?
Yes! I have experience with pre- and post-natal massage, and my naturally gentle touch is a great fit for sensitive bodies.
For pre-natal massages I only work with clients who are in their 2nd trimester or later.
If you have questions or concerns before booking a pre-natal massage, please reach out.
