You may play audiobooks or music of your choice, or your massage therapist my bring an assortment of sound choices. Earbuds are welcome, but for safety reasons, you must be able to hear your therapist.
What should I wear for my massage?
Your feelings of safety and comfort are our highest priority. You may wear as much or as little as you like.
However, your level of dress may limit what we can do for you. Most clients opt to undress to their underwear bottoms and remove all jewelry.
What about my hair?
You can leave your hair how you like! If you have a lot of hair, a wig you wish to keep on, or a style you wish to preserve, we recommend putting it in a silk bonnet or high bun.
Do you massage...
everything?
No.
A standard full body massage will cover the back, arms, legs, neck, shoulders, scalp, glutes, and some pectoral work.
Clients should advise the massage therapist if they have places where they do not want massage.
​
Abdominal work or more in depth pectoral work is available upon request.
​
The genitals and gluteal cleft are never massaged. Soliciting sexual favors will result in the termination of the session and potential police involvement.
I would like my child to get a massage
Children may receive massage with parental consent. The parent or guardian must be present in the room for the duration of the massage. Children generally remain clothed for their massages--clothes allowing for a full range of movement are recommended.
If the child does not wish to receive a massage, the therapist will not continue the session, regardless of parental wishes.
​
What about hygiene?
Your massage therapist will wash their hands before and after every session. The sheets are freshly laundered, and you are welcome to provide your own if you prefer. The table, face cradle, and bolster are cleaned with disinfectant after every session.
We recommend that you shower before your session, but you definitely don't need to worry about body hair removal.
Should I tip?
Tips are accepted but not required or expected. We understand that everyone's financial situation is different and we're glad you're making this investment in your health and well being.
