What to Expect
Your Session
Your holistic massage begins with a consultation to understand your needs, any areas of tension or discomfort, and your preferences for pressure and oil selection.
The massage typically includes work on your back, legs, arms, and can include head, neck, and face if desired. You'll be draped with towels throughout, with only the area being worked on exposed.
Techniques Used
The massage combines several techniques including Swedish massage strokes (effleurage, petrissage), gentle stretching, and pressure point work. The pressure can range from light and relaxing to deeper tissue work, depending on your needs and preferences.
Aftercare
After your massage, it's normal to feel deeply relaxed. Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage. Avoid alcohol and caffeine for a few hours if possible, and allow yourself time to rest and integrate the benefits.
Frequently Asked Questions
A 60-minute session focuses on key areas of tension - typically back, shoulders, and one other area. A 90-minute session allows time for a more comprehensive full-body treatment including head, face, arms, legs, back, and feet.
