This will depend on the type of massage being performed. A full body massage will take about an hour. If you are just getting a neck and back massage or leg massage it can be done in 45 minutes. Many of our patients need longer sessions so they can fully enjoy the relaxing benefits of their therapy.

Yes, natural massage oils are typically used during  Swedish and relaxation treatments to help the movements flow smoothly and comfortably.You therapist will likely use a hypoallergenic massage oil or lotion to reduce the friction of a massage. Make sure your therapist is aware if you are sensitive to any oils or lotions.

Swedish massage is generally gentle and relaxing. Some sensitive areas may feel slighty tender, but pressure is always adjusted to your comfort level.

You will be on the massage bed, with sheets or towels covering you at all times. Only the part of your body being worked on will be exposed, for example arm, leg, or back. If you are not comfortable getting undressed at all, we have techniques to use through your clothing. It is always your choice on how much clothing to take off or leave on.

It helps to be well hydrated, so be sure to drink plenty of fluids the day before and day of your massage. Avoid heavy meals before your treatment. If you are willing for a facial massage, please have any make-up removed prior.

That’s completely normal. We work with many people who are ticklish. We can vary the pressure, depth, and pace of the massage strokes so that you won’t feel tickled.

That is totally up to you. You will be asked a few questions, pertaining to your comfort level, and how you are feeling. Some people relax by talking, others prefer to have their massage in silence. It’s your massage, you get to decide. Often, people will start out talking, then “drift away” as the massage goes on. Whatever helps you to relax the most is best.
