What will the massage/bodywork feel like?
Experience the soothing benefits of massage, designed to calm your nervous system and melt away muscle
tension. A typical session begins with gentle, flowing strokes that promote relaxation, gradually increasing in
pressure to target specific areas of discomfort. We use oil or lotion to ensure a smooth massage while
hydrating your skin. Remember, open communication is key Let us know if you feel any discomfort, so we can
adjust our approach for your ultimate relaxation.

therapeutic massage that focuses on intense muscle work, stretching, and trigger points. These methods can
provide significant relief and enhance overall well-being.
​
What should I do during the massage or bodywork session?
Make yourself comfortable, and remember that your practitioner will guide you through the session, whether it’s
adjusting your position or asking for your input on pressure. Many clients find it helpful to close their eyes and relax,
but feel free to communicate any needs or preferences throughout the experience. If you have any questions regarding
the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.
