What to Expect

Your Session. Your Comfort. Your Healing.

From the moment you arrive, every detail is tailored to help your nervous system unwind. Choose your aromatherapy (Lavender? Eucalyptus, Peppermint? Sweet Orange? Unscented?), your music vibe, warmth level, and more using our Client Comfort Menu. All bodies and backgrounds are welcome here.

1. Before Your Session

Please arrive 5–10 minutes early if it’s your first visit so we can review your intake form and goals for care. If you’ve filled your forms online—great! We’ll use that time to talk about today’s focus areas (pain, stress, mobility, rest, emotional release—whatever’s present for you).

Health note: If you’re sick, recovering from fever, or recently injured, reach out so we can reschedule or adapt safely.

2. Personalize Your Comfort

We use a Client Comfort Menu to help you feel truly cared for. You can choose:

  • Aromatherapy: Lavender, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Sweet Orange, or Unscented.
  • Eye Mask for deeper rest.
  • Weighted Blanket for grounding.
  • Warm Hand and/or Foot Wraps.
  • Music: Nature sounds, soft instrumental, silence, or let therapist choose.

Fill out your comfort preferences online before you arrive (recommended) or in the studio when you check in. 

3. Your Session Flow

  1. Grounding Check-In: We confirm your goals and any areas to avoid.
  2. Intention + Breath: (Optional) Take 3 slow breaths to invite relaxation.
  3. Comfort Setup: Cervical neck support, warm oil, aromatherapy, eye mask, and any extras you selected.
  4. Customized Massage: Therapeutic pressure adjusted to your needs—relaxation, focus work, or a blend.
  5. Closing Ritual: Gentle stillness, warm towel, and time to re-orient before getting up.

4. Communication & Boundaries

You’re in charge of your session. Please tell me if you’d like:

  • More or less pressure
  • Temperature change
  • Different music or silence
  • More draping or positional support
  • To skip conversation and rest quietly

Your comfort, privacy, and consent are always respected.

6. After Your Session

Take a moment to rest before getting up from the massage table. I’ll offer a warm towel to remove any excess lubricant. You’ll leave with a quick at-home care tip to extend your results (stretch, breath, hydration, or heat/cold guidance). You’ll also receive a follow-up message within 24 hours—feel free to reply with any questions.

7. Payment

Pay at booking or after your session (cards, HSA/FSA if applicable, gift cards).

  • Late Arrival: Sessions will be shortened to respect the next client.
