Technically, Ohio requires gift certificates to be valid for two years. But we really prefer it’s used within a year because we want to see your smiling face and take care of you! If it’s been a whole year and it’s still not used, we’ll just think you hate massages.

Your massage session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music will be played to help you relax. The massage table is designed for your comfort. Please let us know if you do not want the table warmer on.

Most massage techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed. However, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. If that means completely undressed, great. If it means you keep shorts on, that’s fine too. Want to wear leggings, well, we won’t be able to use massage oil or cream but leggings are fine too. You will be properly draped during the entire session and nothing inappropriate will be uncovered at all.

The massage therapist will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet.

Yes, you will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.

A typical full-body session will include work on your neck, shoulders, back, arms, hands, legs, hips, glutes (covered with a sheet at all times), and feet. Please request face and scalp if you’d like those areas worked on. If you prefer any areas to be skipped, let your massage therapist know.

A relaxing Swedish massage is often a baseline for clients. In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. Coconut oil or massage cream is used to allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excess friction to the skin. The oil also helps hydrate your skin. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. Massage is most effective when your body is not resisting.

Prior to the massage, feel free to ask the massage therapist any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the massage, make yourself comfortable. The massage therapist will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, a temperature change on the massage table, or anything else relevant to the session. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.

Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. Stay hydrated following your massage and don’t plan any strenuous activities.

Massage can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture, and reduce blood pressure. Massage is also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being.

There are numerous types of massage; various techniques utilize different strokes, including basic gliding, rocking movement, posture and movement re-education, application of pressure to specific points, and more. We can discuss which methods may be most appropriate for you.

Yes. That’s why it’s imperative that before you begin your session the massage therapist asks general health questions. It is very important that you inform the massage therapist of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor’s care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for massage prior to any session. Depending on the condition, approval from your doctor may be required.
