Before your Massage: You will be asked to fill out a client information form regarding your health, brief medical history, lifestyle, and any areas of discomfort.
After your Massage: People often experience a "high" level of euphoria after the massage session. This is a natural and common side effect. Be sure to drink plenty of water to re-hydrate and flush the toxins from your body. You may also experience some muscle soreness after your massage depending on the type of massage you request and the length of time since your last massage session. The soreness will pass and your body will feel renewed and refreshed.
Nudity: You will undress in private and remove clothing to your level of comfort. Your privacy is of the utmost importance and only the areas being massaged will be exposed, ensuring that your modesty is respected at all times.
Cancellation: Unexpected things happen, and sometimes it's impossible to keep an appointment. If you must cancel, please give as much advance notice as possible. Cancellations or changes require a 12 hour notice or you may be charged. Remember your time was reserved especially for you.
Communicating Your Preferences: All aspects of treatment can be modified to your taste: amount of light, kind (or absence) of music, room temperature, and whether or not you choose to have a conversation or enjoy the treatment in silence. Each session will be customized to your specific needs, addressing those areas which require the most attention. Tell the therapist if you would like him to give you a deep massage or be gentler. Also, feel free to ask questions. The therapist would enjoy knowing your thoughts and clarifying any issues you may have.
Shaving: If you must shave, do so at least two hours before your scheduled appointment.
Eating and Drinking: You should allow several hours for your body to digest and process food and drink before your massage and avoid the consumption of alcohol on the day of your appointment. Drink plenty of water before and afterward, especially if you plan to take a fitness class or enjoy heat therapy, such as a sauna or the steam room.
Cell Phones: Keep phones and pagers away from your room or turn them off before the start of your session.
Gratuities: Gratuities are not included in the service price. If you are pleased with the services you have received, it is customary to give 15% to 20%.
Medical Conditions: If you have any type of medical condition, be sure to mention it when you schedule the appointment. Certain treatments may not be advisable for you.
Age Requirement: Clients must be at least 16 years of age. Clients under the age of 16 must have adult consent and supervision.
Payment Policy: Payment must be provided in full at the time of service and are accepted in the form of cash or check.
Home Massage Process: After you schedule your first massage appointment, you will be sent the Client Information Form, which must be completed honestly and presented to your therapist. You will also receive an appointment confirmation via phone call or text message and/or email. All treatments are performed on a massage table. Your therapist is equipped with the massage table, towels, and sheets – everything necessary to perform a home spa therapy.
Pregnancy: Massage actually reduces stress hormones in the body. Touch is vital to the mother's physical and emotional well-being as she adapts to her new body image. Regardless of individual circumstances, a pregnant woman's body is challenged, changed, and stressed in many ways. Massage gives special attention to the mother-to-be, which in turn nurtures the new life that grows within her. Massage can be administered at any time during pregnancy, even the due date and soon after giving birth. Please call or email for more info.
Hours of Operation: Services are available 7 days a week (by appointment only).
Important: We will refuse treatment if any of the following apply: Any medical conditions that were not mentioned at the time of reservation that may be contraindicated or if broken skin or lesions are present. We reserve the right to refuse service to any person.
