FAQs

Where will my massage take place?
Your massage session will take place in a calming, comfortable and quiet room. Slow, soft, relaxing music will play in the background to help you relax. You will lie on a massage table designed with your comfort in mind.

Will I be covered during the session?
After a brief consultation, you will be left alone to undress, relax on the table and cover yourself with a clean sheet. You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm, comfortable, and to respect your personal modesty. Only the area being worked upon will be exposed.

What parts of my body will be massaged?
Massage sessions are individualized and designed to meet each client's specific needs. A brief consultation will determine the specific areas of your body requiring attention. A typical full body session will include work on your neck, back, arms, hands, legs and feet.
