What to expect during your first massage
If you have never experienced massage, you may have some questions. I've
tried to anticipate some of the common questions but if you don't see your
concern addressed, please email me at beth@urbanamassage.com.
If you are
a first time client, please arrive five to ten minutes early in order to
fill out a brief health history. It is essential that you inform me of
any accidents, injuries, illnesses, medications or surgeries in your past.
After you have completed the intake form we will have a discussion about
your treatment goals, what areas of your body on which you would like me
to focus, and any areas you would like me to avoid. This is your session
so please share with me anything that I can do to increase your comfort.
This includes adjusting the room temperature, changing the music, and the
amount of pressure I am using. People have varying degrees of comfort
where these things are concerned and I am open to hear what you like.
I do not massage the genitals and will only offer abdominal work with your
verbal consent. If you would like breast work, please tell that to me
before we begin the session. Otherwise, breasts will be draped, as
genitals are in all cases, with a sheet at all times. You choose your
level of undress. You may remove your underwear if you are comfortable to
allow me to work on your gluteals. I will be outside of the room while
you remove your clothing and get underneath the sheet. I will knock
before I enter the therapy room and you may indicate if you are ready.
During the session you may again share with me your needs in terms of
temperature, pressure, music. The session will last one hour, beginning
at the point that I start the massage. I will do a full body massage
unless we have discussed otherwise. When the hour is finished, I will
leave the room and you may take your time getting up from the table as you
may be dizzy, sleepy, and very relaxed. When you are ready, you may
dress and we will discuss further desires for treatment. This is also
when you make payment. Sorry I cannot accept credit cards so please be
prepared with check or cash.
