What Should I Expect During my First Appointment?

You massage is tailored to your individual needs. If this is your first massage you will be asked to fill out a short health intake form. Your therapist will take a few moments to go over the health intake form with you. Let your therapist know if you have any concerns and what your goals are for the massage.

It is important to list all health concerns and medications so the therapist can adapt the session to your specific needs without doing any harm. It is also important to list any allergies so the therapist is aware if he/she needs to use a different oil or lotion during the session.

Your massage therapist will give you privacy to undress, and you will be covered with a sheet and blanket at all times except the area being worked on. Make yourself comfortable. If your therapist wants you to adjust your position, she will either move you or will ask you to move what is needed. Many people close their eyes and relax completely during a session; others prefer to talk. It's up to you. It is your massage, and whatever feels natural to you is the best way to relax. Do not hesitate to ask questions at any time.
