Arrive 5 to 10 minutes early to complete intake process so we can begin your session at the scheduled time.

1st time clients: I will confirm your booking information, do a Health History Assessment, and a Consent / Waiver & Release for Treatment Form.  

Then we will discuss what you would like to achieve from your session, along with any issues or concerns you would like me to address. I will explain a treatment plan and the course of action I will use during your session.    

Returning Clients: We will discuss the outcome from your previous session and address any ongoing concerns or issues and continue with our treatment plan.

Make sure you are hydrated before you arrive and be prepared to drink plenty of water following your session. Ultimately, stressed muscles lead to inflammation and toxin build up that can block essential nutrients and oxygen from getting to where they need to go and thus contributing to pain and stress. 

A Therapeutic Massage session starts to break up and release those built-up toxins and loosens your muscles and gets your blood and oxygen circulating as they should, but a Therapeutic Massage session is dehydrating in nature. Staying hydrated before and after a massage is recommended because the water helps flush those released toxins out and prevent soreness.

Communication is key. I need to know what you're feeling, experiencing and what you're looking to gain in order to best help you. In turn, I will explain the treatment and what you can expect to gain from it.
I am here to help you feel better. If you have a specific problem area or purely just want to relax on the table – let me know. Additionally, let me know if you experience any discomfort from applied pressure so I can adjust the pressure to accommodate your comfort level.

You will enter the massage room, I will show you were to keep your belongings and let you know once I leave the massage room, you may undress, to your comfort level, t’s up to you if you choose to undress completely or to leave your under-garments on before you slip under the top sheet and blanket and are fully covered on the massage table.

I will exit the room and close the door to give you total privacy while dressing & undressing.

Take your time and don’t worry, I will ask you to let me know when you're ready and fully covered on the massage table unexposed under the top sheet and blanket.  I will knock on the door before entering.

I will always make sure you are properly covered by a sheet and blanket throughout your session.

Deep Breathing is an essential to get the most out of your session and part of Therapeutic Massage, it helps relax your muscles and turn off your mind so you can relax you relax.

 Often, we tend to hold our breath because we feel nervous or experience pain, this can be counterproductive. Holding your breath often contracts your muscles more, making them tougher to loosen. Inhale and exhale normally and take deep breaths when asked. 

You are encouraged to share where you experience aches and pains, both during your intake consultation and during your Therapeutic Massage session.
