FAQs
The feeling of muscle soreness after a massage varies from person to person.
Some clients may experience muscle soreness after receiving a deep tissue massage. This is normal, as deep tissue massage helps your body relax stiff muscles and eliminate toxins. After 24 to 48 hours, your body will usually feel much better than before the massage. This is one of the reasons many people choose deep tissue massage.
There are a few simple and pleasant things you can do to help prevent next-day soreness:
• Drink plenty of water after a massage. Staying hydrated helps flush out the toxins released during the massage. Hydration is always beneficial, and it’s especially important before and after a session.
• Take a warm bath for 20 to 40 minutes. As your body becomes accustomed to regular massages, you’ll likely experience less soreness the next day, making the overall experience even more enjoyable.
Out of respect for our therapists and clients, if you miss or cancel your appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will be charged 50% of the scheduled session fee.
We accept reservations but decline appointment requests. Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you. At the time of booking, we respectfully request your credit card information to guarantee your reservation. Your reservation is a commitment to pay for the scheduled time.
If you are not satisfied with your therapist, please inform us within 20 minutes of your session and we’ll gladly change your therapist when available or issue a refund. There will be no refund after 20 minutes of treatment.
We reserve the right to refuse service.
Tipping is a personal choice, and you should only tip an amount you feel comfortable with. We suggest thinking of your massage therapist similarly to how you would think of a server in a restaurant — our therapists perform one-on-one, physically demanding work. They love what they do, and your tip is a great way to show appreciation for their service.
However, many clients ask us for guidance. You may consider the following suggested gratuities:

There are many people who incorporate massage therapy at least twice a month for optimal therapeutic relief. For those who use massage as preventative care or to manage daily stress, one massage a month is common. Weekly sessions may be desirable if you are receiving massage for injury relief or to relieve chronic tightness that is interfering with your daily life.
Your massage session begins when your therapist enters the room to start the session. This does not include the time spent dressing and undressing.
Communication about your therapeutic needs begins during check-in. You’ll establish which areas you would like to focus on and whether there are any conditions that need to be addressed. We will ask you to complete a short medical survey to ensure the treatment is tailored to your needs and does not aggravate any medical conditions. Regular check-ins and pressure adjustments throughout the session help ensure the massage meets your expectations and allow us to identify and respond to any issues that may arise.
You should undress to your preferred level of comfort. Approximately half of our clients prefer to be completely undressed, while the other half choose to keep their undergarments on. The choice is entirely yours. You will undress and dress in the privacy of your massage room and will be securely covered by a sheet during your massage session. Only the specific area being worked on will be exposed.
Often, an organic oil or lotion is used to allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive friction to the skin. The oil also helps hydrate your skin. However, some clients prefer not to use oils or lotions; it all depends on your preference. If you feel any discomfort, please communicate immediately so that another approach can be taken.
We provide services for minors under the age of 18 with written consent from a parent or guardian before performing the massage. All minors must keep their undergarments on for the entire duration of the session. A parent or guardian is required to remain in the massage room throughout the entire session.
