Frequent Asked Questions
General
Absolutely. This is your massage, and I want you to be as comfortable and relaxed as possible. If you feel the need to scratch an itch, rub a sore or irritated area, adjust your position, stretch, swallow, cough, or simply take a deep breath, please do. When you try to ignore what your body is naturally asking for, you often create unnecessary muscle tension. I can usually feel that tension in your tissues, and it can make it more difficult for you to fully relax and receive the greatest benefit from your massage.As your body settles into a deeper state of relaxation, you may also notice involuntary physical responses. These can include changes in your breathing, muscle twitches, stomach sounds, emotional release, signs, shifts in body temperature, changes in skin sensitivity, or other normal autonomic nervous system responses. These are simply natural body reactions that occur without conscious intent and are not, by themselves, indicative of your thoughts, intentions, or emotional state.Your massage is a time to listen to your body rather than fight against it. Feel free to make any desired touching, movements, or adjustments that help you release stress and remain comfortable throughout your session. The more relaxed your body is, the more effective and enjoyable your massage experience will be.
Although some people prefer to talk throughout the massage, don't feel like you have to make conversation with me. After all, you're having a session that is focused on Relaxation.Many people close their eyes and try to relax and focus on their body to release any and all stress. I'll take the cue from you and am open for a conversation.
I get that it can be a little uncomfortable to strip down to your birthday suit in front of someone you’ve never met, but really, it's totally normal. You will be completely naked during the experience.Remember, this is a full body experience. All areas from your neck down to your toes will be rubbed, caressed, and massaged. This is more of an "Oil" experience that is similar to those received in Japan and Germany. Undergarments get in the way of long strokes or pressure points and prohibits you from having your best experience, which is why they are not allowed to be worn. Both men and women will be nude with no coverings. It is to ensure long strokes and blood flow to the heart is maintained during the massage. Nudity is natural and just a normal part of life and these massages. Enjoy!
It's especially important to hydrate post-massage. “Similar to a workout, your muscle tissues can become dehydrated during a massage". Drinking caffeine after a massage can tense the muscles just worked on, so it's best to avoid caffeine, if possible, and try herbal tea or water instead.Therefore, drinking plenty of water post-massage is very helpful in re-hydration, building healthy muscle tissue, and removing metabolic wastes that accumulate as your muscles are worked out.
Massage has always been a passion of mine, and my goal is simply to help people experience the healing benefits of a traditional European-style relaxation massage. Because I am not a licensed massage therapist in the United States, I do not charge for my time or services.While there is never any obligation, gratuities are always appreciated if you feel your experience was exceptional.Since appointments are complimentary, availability is very limited. I maintain a waiting list and carefully select clients who are genuinely seeking a unique and European massage.My goal is to provide a peaceful, comfortable environment where every client receives a deeply relaxing and restorative massage. Through skilled, intentional touch, I strive to help release stress, reduce muscle tension, and promote a profound sense of relaxation and overall well-being, allowing your body to respond naturally to my touch.
