Must I be completely undressed?

Some of the healing modalities do not require you to disrobe at all to receive bodywork. Relaxation and many therapeutic techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed but professionally draped with a sheet. Only the body part being worked is exposed.

What should I do during the massage?

Make yourself comfortable. During the massage, let me know if you feel any discomfort. Communication is key to getting the massage you want. Many people just close their eyes and relax. Others like to talk during their session. Feel free to ask questions about massage in general or about the particular technique you are receiving. Breath deeply and let tension slip away. Remember, this is your time.

Communication is key for your comfort and well being. Communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so that the technique can be adjusted for you.

Overview

Massage from a trained and skilled Massage Therapist relaxes, manipulates and rejuvenates sore muscles, putting the whole body in a state of well being. Relaxation is one of the top healing aspects of massage.

Massage gives the mind and body some time to "zone-out" momentarily, then gives it a chance to regroup and focus on healing itself instead of fighting against itself.,
