Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare for my massage?
Prior to your massage please be freshly showered so your mind can be completely relaxed and free of uncertainly about your cleanliness. In the event you are not able to shower beforehand, a clean private bathroom stocked with soap, shampoo, conditioner, towels and a hairdryer is available if you have requested an In-studio massage.

Massage is traditionally performed with the patient unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session.
