Clients receive a text notification from me indicating readiness for their appointment. The session will commence with a discussion of any concerns and specific focus areas. Following this, I will explain the draping process, communication regarding pressure preferences, and the procedure for exiting the salon.
Clients have the freedom to wear attire of their choice. During sessions, clients are securely draped with sheets, ensuring that only the specific muscle group being addressed is exposed. If you prefer to keep an area covered, or if you would like to avoid working on your feet, you are welcome to keep your socks on. Please communicate your preferences to me, and together, we will devise an appropriate plan.
Please let me know right away if the pressure feels too light or too deep. I usually begin with lighter pressure and gradually work into deeper pressure as your body allows. I encourage clients to communicate their comfort level before the session begins and at any time during the session. I will also check in with you when I notice a tight or sensitive area.
Clients are encouraged to engage in conversation if they wish. I prioritize your preferences; if you prefer to talk, I will respond accordingly, and if you prefer silence, I will maintain a quieter demeanor, aside from occasional check-ins to ensure your comfort and the appropriate pressure is applied. Meeting my clients' needs is my utmost priority, particularly in this environment.
Mild soreness after a massage is normal, similar to how your body may feel after a workout, and it usually subsides within 1–2 days. If you would like at-home care tips to support your recovery, please ask your therapist after your session.
The frequency of your sessions is determined by your individual wellness objectives and availability. While a monthly session is generally recommended, those dealing with chronic discomfort or recent injuries may benefit from scheduling two sessions each month. As you experience improvement and a reduction in discomfort, many clients transition to a monthly maintenance schedule. For acute pain, weekly sessions may be more appropriate, addressing both physical and mental heaviness effectively.
Yes. I am experienced in providing care at any stage of pregnancy. However, the decision to receive massage therapy during pregnancy remains a personal choice and should be made in consultation with your physician's recommendations. Pillows and a bolster are utilized to provide support during prenatal massage for side-lying and supine positions. Clients are never positioned face down at any point during the session. Abdominal muscles will not be massaged during prenatal sessions. In regular massages, I generally refrain from working on the abdominal area unless clients specifically request it for particular conditions, including chronic constipation, menstrual cramps, or diastasis recti.
A cancellation fee of 100% of the service cost may be charged if a service is cancelled or rescheduled inside a 3-day window. If within 3 days of your appointment, contact me directly. If beyond 3 days of your appointment, updates can be made in the Vagaro App.
