Thinking about getting your first pain relief massage ever? You might be wondering what it will be like, and you may even be a little worried. A little pre-massage anxiety is normal for your first time, but it's not necessary. Here's how it will go:

When you arrive, we’ll have a brief consultation, mostly to find out if there's anything I should be aware of, if you’ve ever had a treatment before, what’s helped you and what hasn’t.
I'll tell you how to lay on the table (you'll usually start face down, under the sheet and blanket) and we'll have a discussion about how undressed to get. You'll always be securely draped. I'll only uncover the areas that I'll be working on, and everything else will remain covered and out of sight.

Once you're on the table, you basically have one job: If something hurts, or if you're uncomfortable, just let me know. Don't assume that anything is "supposed to hurt," or “I'm probably supposed to be this cold." Please speak up! I may be the expert on massage, but you're the expert on your own body. 

If something doesn't feel quite right, I want you to trust your instincts and flag me down.
Other than that, feel free to relax. You don't need to help me when I move one of your limbs—be a limp noodle and let me do the work. 

You don't need to keep your arms in any particular place, or do anything other than melt into the table. I'd like you to really experience the massage. If that means chatting or asking questions, please do. If that means being quiet and introspective, that's great too.

BTW I don’t care about your leg hair, stubble, freckles, cellulite or abdomen noises, it’s all part of being human. 

After the massage, my main goal is to let you float on out. I may ask about any areas of pain that you had mentioned, and I may have a stretch to offer you. 

Other than that, I'll hit the button on Fresha (booking link below) to take payment, and ask if you'd like to schedule your next appointment (optional!), and see you on your way.
