I know some of you may have questions regarding massage that you may be hesitant to ask about so below you’ll find the most common questions I get as a massage therapist:  

Q:  What should I expect at my first massage session?  

A: Before your first at home session, you will be sent a health intake form that you will need to fill out prior to your appointment.  Based on that, I will arrive a few minutes early to discuss the form and what your goals are for your session and go over a plan of what techniques and modality is best for you to achieve those goals. I will then set up my table (which will give you a few minutes to use the bathroom or just get comfortable) before we start.

Q:  Do you sell Gift Cards?  

A: Yes! I offer e-gift cards that you can purchase online 24/7 for any occasion or holiday. Check out the link on my website.  I also have physical gift cards as well.

Q: Do you service areas outside of lower Fairfield County?

A: Our rates listed are for lower Fairfield County including Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, Norwalk and Westport.  Depending on what town and how far, will depend on the additional travel fee and if I can accommodate the service.

Q: How often should I get a massage?

A: It varies from person to person. If you are just looking for some occasional relaxation, then a session every 3-6 weeks may be fine for you. However, if you are looking to address a specific condition, then it is recommended to go more frequently at first and then slowly taper down to a maintenance schedule. 

 

The most important thing to remember during your massage is to breathe and speak up.

When your massage therapist is working out a particularly bad knot, it can be tempting to tense up a little bit and hold your breath. Don’t do this. It’s important that you breathe fully and deeply when working on those knots, to oxygenate your blood supply and support those tense muscles.

During the massage, you shouldn’t be afraid to tell your therapist if something is uncomfortable, the pressure is not right, or if you have a question about what they’re doing. Be sure to ask them to spend more time on a certain area that is troubling you. This is your massage time, and it should be what you want. Speaking up after the end of your session is too late.
