Your First Visit
Upon booking your first appointment, you will receive forms via email to fill out online prior to your visit. These will include a confidential health history , consent for treatment form and a cancellation policy acknowledgement. If you are having difficulty or do not have access to a computer, you will be asked to do these when you arrive at the clinic.
Our Registered Massage Therapists will answer any questions you have and address any concerns. Based on your specific set of circumstances we will work with you to design your treatment around your individual needs and goals.
Please note that the cancellation policy for a massage appointment is 24 hours in advance of your appointment time.
The average full-body massage session lasts approximately one hour. However this can vary depending on time allowance, age, type of treatment requested, finances and other factors. A half-hour appointment only allows time for a partial massage session, such as neck and shoulders, back or legs and feet. Many people prefer a 60- to 90-minute session for optimal relaxation. The areas worked on will depend upon your areas of concern and may not incorporate the full body. We generally advise that massage for children be limited to 30 or 45 minutes.
Your massage will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room.
Most massage is traditionally performed with the client unclothed; most often, underwear are left on. However, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.
A typical full body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. You will not be touched on or near your genitals (male or female) or breasts (female).
Following your massage, it is a good idea to have a warm/hot Epsom salt or Sea Salt bath to dispel any toxins that have been released during your treatment and to prevent soreness. Drinking plenty of water following a massage treatment session is also advised.
