I never had a massage before and am kind of nervous. It's normal to be nervous when trying something new. I offer a safe, nurturing and discreet environment for your comfort. My space is temperature controlled and to enhance your experience I use music, scents, lighting and towel warmers. When you arrive l greet you at the door and escort you to my massage room. We then talk about you and your health and what you would like to work on. I invite you to undress to your comfort level. During the session I check in with you to make sure you are comfortable. At anytime you can make requests, let me know if you would like the pressure to be adjusted, etc.
You have a lot of experience. I am not sure what to ask for. We talk and decide what style is going to work best for you. I have studied many modalities and can work with a variety of people and diverse needs. I recommend you let me know of any health issues, aches, pains, injuries, insecurities or expectations. Be as upfront as possible and leave the rest up to me. You will be in GREAT HANDS.
Do I have to get naked. No. You undress to whatever point you are comfortable: Fully dressed, undressed completely, or anything in between. You may also choose to be draped (covered with a sheet or towel) or not.
Although most clients prefer to be nude with no draping, your modesty and boundaries are always respected. Of utmost importance to me is working within your boundaries. My clients never feel as if their limits have been invaded.
Is naked better. Although I provide excellent massage to clothed or partially covered clients, people who do remove all clothes and not request draping enjoy a massage that is more fluid in its execution. As a therapist, I can see the body in its entirety, allowing me to access the body's alignment and provide better service.
Do you offer any clothed sessions There are sessions where it is better to stay dressed. Nudity is not needed for Cranial Sacral and Somat-Emotional release sessions.
Do you work on massage table Yes. For your comfort and my safety I work with an Earthlite massage table that has extra padding and a heating unit.
I am kind of self-conscious about my body. I work with a variety of body types, ages and sizes. All are welcome in my studio.
I am nervous I may get aroused. Massage is very stimulating on many levels and sometimes men do get aroused. This is not a problem and I suggest you allow yourself to be in the moment without worry, fear or shame. Honor your body and all of its responses and enjoy your massage.
What do I need to do during the massage All you have to do is just allow yourself to be present, to breathe and to let your body sink into the table. I know for some it is difficult to just receive. Many people are conditioned to be self-sufficient. I invite you to relax and let me do the work.
Do I need to share personal health information Every massage and every person is unique. I like to know as much information as possible to provide you with a safe and effective session.
Does your work hurt My work is relaxing and therapeutic and never meant to be uncomfortable. Some people believe that deep tissue work has to hurt. With my experience and personal style I have developed techniques that work deep into the muscles without being painful.
What kind of products do you use I use a variety of products from Biotone, Clear Results massage oil (unscented), therapeutic massage cream and warm coconut oil. I also have many fragrant essential oils that can be incorporated in the session.
Do you give the same massage to everyone Each person is different and each person has different needs. We will talk about what is going to work for you and what will accomplish the desired outcome of our time together.
