Doing your part… Tips for you! The way to enjoying your massage.
* Don’t eat just before a massage session.
* Be on time.
* If you don’t want to remove all your clothing, wear what you will be comfortable in.
* Don’t be afraid to communicate with me during session, if you have any words as to the amount of pressure, speed of strokes/movements, room temp., or music (I will adjust).
* Some people like to talk during a massage session, while others remain silent. Do whatever feels right to you, and I will follow your lead (I have heard about other masseuses taking the lead… LOL)
* Breathing will aid in your relaxation. People often stop breathing and tense up when they feel an area of tenderness due to knots or tension. Best to just breathe through it here “INHALE“, “EXHALE“! Keep telling yourself “BREATHE”!
* Try not to tighten up during the massage. Let me/ your massage therapist know this is happening. I may need to adjust the massage technique used. I may also be able to help you relax the area.
* If you find your thoughts are racing during the massage, one way to become “centered” and to ease your mind is to follow my hands, and focus on how the touch feels.
* If anything happens during the massage that you dislike or uncomfortable with, you have the right to ask me/ your masseuse to stop. If necessary, you also have the right to end the session.
* If you are dizzy or light headed after the massage, do not get off the table too fast.
* Drink extra water after a massage.
* Allow for some quiet time after your massage, if possible. Sometimes one needs a little time to absorb the aftereffect of the massage or needs some “re-entry” time.
(Some people have been know to have loose lips… LoL)
