MASSAGE ETIQUETTE

Cancel in Advance: A minimum of 24 hours in advance is acceptable.

Take a Shower Beforehand: Showering warms the muscles and relaxes the body, and therapeutic oils are more easily absorbed when the skin is clean. It makes the experience better for everyone.

Bodily Functions: It’s not uncommon to pass gas during a massage. If you need to use the restroom it’s okay to pause the session. While not common, some men do get an erection. It will be ignored, and additional draping measures will be provided to increase coverage.

Breathe: Deep breathing promotes relaxation and will enhance the therapeutic quality and pleasure of your massage.

Arrive on Time: Please be aware that a late arrival will determine the length of your treatment. Your service will end as scheduled so that the next guest may begin on time.

Undress to Your Level of Comfort: Massage is typically done nude and clients are always covered with proper sheet draping, only exposing small areas at a time. Clients may keep underwear on; however, it will limit the therapists access gluteal and thigh muscles, as cloth barriers truncate movements, so a thong or no undergarment is favorable. Keep in mind that oils may be used which may stain personal clothing items.

Communicate Honestly with Therapist: Practitioners need to know concerning health issues, specific areas that should be avoided, pressure level, music requests, and any other concern to prevent injury and ensure a positive experience. Communication during the session is perfectly acceptable; however, it’s recommended to work towards deep relaxation and silence.

Turn Off Your Phone: Relaxation is a challenge when a phone is chiming.

Tipping: Tip is not included in the price of massage. Tips are not required but are very much appreciated. 10%-20% is standard.
