What should I expect during a massage session?

You will be in a private room with soothing music to help you relax. The therapist will inform you on what to do before she exits the room while you get undressed. When you are ready, the therapist will re-enter the room. Light oil will be applied to the body inorder to help massage the muscles without excessive friction. The areas that are included in the full body massage are the back, neck, arms, legs, hands, feet, scalp and the glutes(buttocks). If you are not comfortable having the glutes massaged, just inform your therapist. During the massage, hot aromatic towels will be applied to the feet and back. After the session is over, the therapist will exit the room while you get dressed. If you have any questions for the therapist feel free to ask at anytime.
