What To Expect
-
Massage therapists are professionally trained to guide you through your first session in a way that lets you stay focused on relaxing.
Your comfort is priority, feel free to make adjustments to your session at any time (ex: “I’m feeling a bit warm, can you turn on the fan?”).
The recommended pressure level for a first massage is medium. Working your way up to firmer pressure overtime is easier on the body.
-
Only disrobe to your comfort. Some keep under garments on, some remain completely clothed.
Keep in mind any area covered by garments must be considered a restricted area by massage therapists. Therefore, those areas may only be worked on over the sheet.
-
First, you want to make sure there is enough room. At least a 6'x10' area to ensure the therapist is able to move around the table.
It is recommended that you wear a robe to easily get on and off the table. Remember to remove jewelry and shower ahead of time.
You will not have to provide anything such as lotion or sheets. The massage therapist will arrive with everything they need to perform the service.
-
A mobile massage therapist typically arrives 15 - 30 minutes before the appointment time.
However, it is not uncommon for service providers to arrive 15-30 minutes past the appointment time. Although this is a rare occurrence, it’s still best to be prepared.
Be sure to set plenty of time aside for your massages.

When you book as an individual the form will be sent and can be filled electronically. If it can't be completed before the appointment, there are physical copies of the form that can be filled in person.

Mobile massage is not limited to houses. Whether you are in a house, office, apartment or hotel, this service will come to you.
-
Unless there is an elevator, having your massage on the ground floor is most ideal. Please keep in mind there are service providers who may not feel safe and decline bringing their massage table up flights of stairs. Understand this is a reasonable concern as this scenario can be considered hazardous.
If you plan on having a massage upstairs, please specify that upon booking.
If you are located on a third floor and up without an elevator or personal massage table to use, this service cannot be provided.
-
Whether a session is provided indoors or outdoors is up to the massage therapist. Outdoor sessions are a great idea when the weather allows for it!
