What to Expect at Your First Massage
If you’ve never had a massage before — welcome! My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, informed, and completely at ease from start to finish.
Before Your Massage
-
Arrive a few minutes early so you can relax and fill out a brief health form. This helps me tailor your session to your needs and make sure massage is safe for you.
-
We’ll talk about your goals — whether you want to relax, relieve pain, or address specific areas of tension.
-
You can ask any questions before we begin. There’s no such thing as a silly question!
During Your Massage
-
You’ll be asked to undress to your comfort level and lie on the massage table, covered with a sheet or blanket. Only the area being worked on will be uncovered.
-
I use professional draping techniques to ensure your privacy at all times.
-
You’ll be able to communicate freely — let me know if you’d like more or less pressure, or if something doesn’t feel right.
-
The room will be quiet, with soft music and a comfortable temperature to help you relax.
After Your Massage
-
You may feel deeply relaxed or even a little sleepy — that’s normal!
-
Drink some water and take a few minutes to transition slowly before resuming your day.
-
It’s common to feel lighter, looser, or even slightly sore the next day as your muscles adjust.
Remember
Massage is about you. Every session is customized for your body and comfort level. Whether you come in for relaxation, stress relief, or specific muscle tension, you’re in caring hands.
