What to expect During Massage therapy
When scheduling
Once your appointment is scheduled your therapist will contact you to to ask a few pre-screening questions. You should advise your therapist if you have any food allergies or do not enjoy certain aromas. You must make a clean and clear space in your home without interruptions from guests or family. Pets are required to be in a separate space from the treatment area. Deposits are required for wellness sessions 90 minutes or more.
Preliminary
When I arrive I will have a few items to help prepare for your session. While I am setting up you will be required to fill out an intake form. This form will ask questions to determine your overall health and your wellness goals. This information will help structure the session to achieve your health and wellness goals. Once the intake form is reviewed I will go over your treatment plan for the session. If you chose meditation this would be done before getting on the table. You would then be instructed how to get on the table, under the sheet, and to undress. I will leave the room until you are covered on the table. Upon reentering, I will ask you to take deep breaths for ultimate relaxation.
During the session
During the session music may be played and there maybe talking or no talking. I will check in with you to make sure the pressure is acceptable. If music is to disturbing it can be adjusted to your liking. If any pain or discomfort is experienced let me know so I can better treat you. I will use oil or lotion to reduce drag across the skin. You will receive a massage for the specified time you chose when scheduling your massage. I will advise you when the session has ended.
After the session
Once the session ends the I will leave the room and allow you to gather yourself and get dressed. I will proceed to packing up items to leave your home. At this time feedback about the session and how you feel are appreciated. I will ask for your feedback and go over a plan for your future wellness sessions. If you have not paid at the time of scheduling your appointment you would pay once the therapist has packed up. Tips are appreciated to recognize outstanding service but not required.
Follow up
I will contact you a few days after your session for feedback on how you feel and schedule any future appointments.
