YOU CAN EXPECT…
·Your massage session will be conducted in a professional and ethical manner in a warm, comfortable, quiet room.
·You will be asked to complete a health history form to identify possible contraindications (areas of the body to be avoided); the form will be referred to in subsequent sessions.
·Before the massage begins we will discuss what areas of the body will be massaged and what techniques will be used.
·During the massage session, you will be draped with sheets and blankets. Only the area being worked on will be undraped.
·A lubricant (cream, gel or oil) will be used to decrease friction to the skin during the massage. Please let me know if you have any skin allergies.
·During the massage session you will be informed when movement (e.g. from face up to face down position) is necessary. Feel free to ask questions, or to simply close your eyes and zone out.
·Following your massage session you will feel very relaxed. After this experience many people have increased energy, heightened awareness and greater productivity - which can last for days.
·Toxins are released from your soft tissues during the massage. To prevent soreness it is recommended that you drink plenty of water afterwards to help flush them out of your system.
