What to Expect
Here's our basic routine for massage appointments. This is what you can look forward to on the day of your massage!
Before Massage

1. Prior to Appointment
-
Please print and fill out my health information form.
-
Please clear a space of at least 6'x10' for the table.
-
Please have ready a clean set of sheets with a pillowcase and a light blanket, as well as any ordinary chair for me to use.
2. Arrival & Setup
-
I will arrive and setup the massage table and music.
-
It's okay if we need to move some furniture around.
-
It usually takes about 10-15 minutes to get everything setup and ready.
3. Massage Plan
-
Once the table is all setup, we'll talk about our plan for the massage.
-
Your relevant health history
-
Any areas you'd like to focus on or avoid
4. Getting on the Table
-
Then I will leave the room and close the door to go wash my hands.
-
While I'm out of the room, you will undress to your comfort level, climb onto the table, and get under the covers.
-
We will most likely start you face down.

5. First Half - Face Down
-
When I'm ready with clean hands, I'll knock on the door and ask if you're ready.
-
With your permission, I'll come in and begin the massage.
-
First we'll do your neck, shoulders, back, legs, and feet.
6. Second Half - Face Up
-
About halfway through our time, we'll turn you over. I'll invite you to scoot down fully onto the table (off the face rest) and then roll over onto your back.
- I will keep you fully covered as you turn. Please keep your arms under the drape while you turn face up.
- Take all the time you need.
-
Then we'll work on your legs, arms, shoulders, neck, face, and scalp.
After Massage
7. Getting off the Table
-
When the massage is finished, I'll let you know that we're all done for today, and then I'll exit the room again to wash my hands.
-
When I have left and closed the door, you will climb off the table and get dressed.
-
Take all the time you need.
8. Wrapping Up
-
When you're fully clothed and feeling great, and my hands are washed, we'll chat about how the massage went while I pack up the massage table and gather my things.
-
Then we'll settle any business matters like payment and scheduling, say goodbye, and I'll be off.

It's a great idea to use the lovely time following your massage to book your next appointment.
