Before beginning your first session, I will take a brief medical history. You will be invited to bring up any needs that you wish to address in the session. During the session, I invite you to undress to your level of comfort. I will keep you comfortably draped at all times with a sheet. Some clients prefer to wear underwear or loose fitting clothes. Your comfort is fully respected and, in fact, essential for a relaxing session.

I will ask for your feedback as the massage progresses, to assure I am meeting your needs. I do ask that you update me regularly on any new health issues. Massage can be potent “medicine” and certain medical conditions are contraindicated for massage therapy.

Before and after your massage

• Don’t eat a large meal right before receiving a massage
• After the massage, drink LOTS of water to help flush out metabolic waste products that have been released into your system from the massage work
• Have a hot shower or bath and a good stretch after your massage
• Give yourself enough time to enjoy the benefits of the massage. Afterwards, you are liable to feel very relaxed and may not want to do anything stressful or strenuous.
