What should I expect during a massage session?During a massage, you'll lie on a massage table covered by a sheet or towel, with only the areas being worked on exposed. The therapist will use different techniques to manipulate your muscles, depending on the type of massage you've requested. It's common to feel relaxed or even sleepy during and after the session.
-
What should I do before and after a massage?Before a massage, stay hydrated and avoid heavy meals. Alcohol should not be consumed within 24 hours prior to or after a massage session. Afterward, drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins, and rest if possible. Some light stretching can also help extend the benefits of the massage.

Your therapist can guide you in selecting the most appropriate type during your consultation before the session starts.

Can I get a massage if I have a medical condition?In most cases, yes, but it's essential to inform your massage therapist about any medical conditions or medications you're taking. They can adjust the session accordingly. For some conditions, like certain heart issues or skin infections, it may be necessary to get written approval from your healthcare provider first.
-
What should I wear during a massage?You should wear whatever makes you comfortable. Typically, clients undress to their level of comfort and are draped with a sheet throughout the session, with only the area being massaged exposed. You can also choose to keep on undergarments if that feels better for you.

How will I feel after a massage?Many people feel relaxed, refreshed, and less tense after a massage. Some may experience temporary soreness, especially if deep tissue work was done, but it usually subsides within a day or two. Drinking water and resting can help alleviate any discomfort. We also suggest taking an Epsom salt bath and performing some light stretching of tense areas to extend the session's benefits and aid in recovery.

What is Reiki, and how does it work?Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan. It involves a practitioner channeling universal life force energy through their hands to help promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support the body's natural healing processes by alleviating energetic blockages in the body. Reiki works by balancing the body's energy fields and chakras. The practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the client's body, allowing the energy to flow where it's needed to clear blockages, restore balance, and enhance the body's ability to heal itself.
