Before Your Massage Therapy Appointment:
(For Mobile Massage)

I will bring the supplies I will need to administer your massage, including a table, lotion (pick which one you want us to use), sheets and towels for draping. When it comes to in-home massages, I will need a space at least 5 feet by 8 feet in which to set up the massage table and to work comfortably. Please adjust the temperature of the workspace to meet your comfort level, bearing in mind that you may be wearing little clothing during your massage. Before your massage, please remove your glasses or contact lenses, watch, jewelry, makeup, and anything worn in your hair and count the duration to be an additional 30–40 minutes above billable time (ex. 60-min treatment = allow at least 90 min). This will give me time to set up the work area, provide you with any necessary paperwork, and conduct a medical history interview. 
**Note:  Dress to your comfort level at all times!

During Your Massage:
By eliminating as many distractions in the home as possible, you will greatly enhance your level of relaxation. For this reason, I would prefer that you keep pets, friends, and family members out of the room where I will be working. Turn down the volume on any answering machines, phones, pagers and cellular phones. This is your time to relax. Some clients enjoy talking during their massage because they feel it helps them release some of the daily stresses they may be feeling. For others, talking may be counterproductive to full relaxation. Allow yourself to experiment and find what is most beneficial for you, but keep in mind that I need to stay informed about your comfort level. Let me know if you are too warm or too cold. If your neck is becoming stiff or you need to reposition yourself on the table, just let me know. Likewise as your therapist if I’m using too much or not enough pressure, I need to be told. Share your needs with me as soon as they arise so that I may make the most of our time.

After Your Massage:

After your treatment, we will have a closing interview to discuss any feedback you may wish to share. A massage helps your body's tissues to rid themselves of toxins, such as lactic acid, so a small number of client’s may experience slight headache, muscle soreness, or mood swings after receiving a massage. To flush these toxins from your system efficiently, drink as much water as comfortably possible during the 48 hours after your massage. Massage also assists in lymph drainage and improved circulation in the body, so any uncomfortable side effects are usually only very temporary. Massage may bring physical and emotional concerns to the surface as you experience your body in a new and different way through the therapist's touch. Every individual responds to massage differently. If massage is new to you, you may have some questions you would like to ask. Please feel free to talk to me about any part of the process you do not understand or with which you are not completely comfortable. Call me if you are concerned about any discomfort.

Massage Care Pledge: 
As a trained professional massage therapist I can help you relax and relieve tension through relaxation and therapeutic massage techniques. I only perform techniques that I am qualified to perform and will not overstep our boundaries as your massage therapist. This is your time to relax, so you will be draped according to your comfort level at all times. If you have questions about our credentials, You may look me up online As a professional massage practice, I will maintain professionalism at all times and will not tolerate any sexual overtures from clients.  If the client is inappropriate at any time before or during the massage, the session will be terminated and the client will owe balance in full for the time scheduled.

Late Policy:
If the client is late for the appointment, I will use discretion whether the full session will be given and if an extra fee will be assessed. If I am late, then I will attempt to give the full session or may reduce the charge for time worked. Both greatly depend on my schedule for the day.

Cancellation Policy:
Cancellation must be made 24 hours prior to the massage time.  A replacement can be substituted to avoid a cancellation fee.
