*****************

What will your first appointment for a Full Body Massage be like?
You should always come to each appointment makeup free and freshly showered. Jewelry should be removed prior to the massage. 

Debbie will begin by asking you to fill out a Confidential Massage Client Questionnaire that covers some conditions that are important

in providing the best care to you. You may print this out and bring it with you or fill it out once you arrive.

First you will be shown the massage room. Your massage will take place on a massage table especially designed for your comfort. Clean linens will be awaiting you. You will be offered a heating pad to help with muscle relaxation.  When Debbie leaves the room you may undress, leaving underpants or shorts on. Once you are prepared, you may lie on the table (on your back) with the clean sheet covering you.

You will be warmly draped at all times. Taking deep breaths will help you to relax prior to the massage.

Debbie will use a lubricant such as light oil or lotion. The massage lotion will be scented with a special aroma which will aid in your relaxation and chosen specifically for your needs and enjoyment. The lotion will be good for your skin and will absorb well. There is no need to wash the lotion off following the massage unless you would feel more comfortable. You will not be touched on or near your private body parts. The massage will begin with your hands, arms, face, hair, shoulders, chest (for men), abdomen, then feet and legs. Debbie will instruct you to turn over and the massage will continue with the back of your legs, buttocks, back, shoulders and back of head and lower back. During the massage various pillows and head rests will be used to help you be as comfortable as possible. If she needs you to adjust your position she will either move you (for instance, lift your arm) or tell you what is needed. Otherwise you should change your position anytime to make yourself more comfortable. 

The massage will begin with a light steady touch followed by more broad and flowing strokes with gentle firm pressure.

This will start to calm your nervous system and release the tension in your muscles.

What Should You Do During the Massage?
Many people close their eyes and relax completely during a massage. Do not hesitate to ask questions about the massage that your are experiencing.

Are You Ticklish?
Massage on healthy tissue should feel good. Generally, massage does not tickle as the touch for massage is completely different from tickling. If you have a particular area that is very sensitive, please tell Debbie so she can work carefully or avoid your area of sensitivity all together.

Most people experience warmth during the massage as well as pleasant tingling.
Reiki, a Japanese form of energy is used with every massage and helps the body to relax more. As the body relaxes, the healing process begins. 

How Long Is A Full body Massage?
A complete deep relaxing full body massage generally takes about an hour.

What Do I do After The Massage?
When your massage is finished, Debbie will leave the room while you dress. It is very important, to get up off the table slowly, sit on the edge of the table for a while before getting to a stand, right away. this massage can be profoundly relaxing and it affects all your body's systems including your blood pressure. If you get up to soon you risk the chance of becoming light headed or dizzy.

How Will I Feel After The Massage?
After the massage, most people feel very relaxed. Sometimes they feel tingly and may experience freedom from aches and pains that have built up from tension or repetitive activity in their daily life. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience an increase in energy that can last for several days.

Should you have any more questions feel free to ask. Ultimately, your answers will come from experiencing a massage first hand. Enjoy!!!
**You are encouraged to drink plenty of water following a massage.

In This Room....

           There is only peace........

The world outside may be laced with hostility, war and anger.

Beyond these four walls, people may be bickering, clashing over such things as religion, skin color, sexual preference, the world's state of affairs.  Pushing, Shoving.  To get here, or there.

But in this room, there is only peace.  A hushed stillness.

Tranquality. Whatever is going on in the outside world is of no consequence.

It is time to let go.  Let your mind wander.  Your skin, softening beneath my hands, beneath my touch, becoming one

with the earth, the sky. 

The soft, mesmerizing music of the flute, piano or synthesizer carries us to a place of ultimate beauty

where hatred and fear are nonexistent. 

Where people are all equal.

On this table, it doesn't matter if you are dark, light, short, tall, gay, straight, fat, thin, rich or poor.

  In this room, on this table, differences don't matter.  The table is the medium, the time machine, the flying carpet. 

Time stands still. 

There is only harmony, balance and synchronicity.

No worries.  No stress.  No tension.

And when your body is totally relaxed - tightness depleted, body, mind and spirit as one -reality begins to seep through the cracks. 

The walls begin to reappear, ever so slowly.

When you rise, then dress, and forge ahead into the world outside, you will remember the feeling of this place and time we share,

and keep it with you, to help ward off the stress and tension of your days.
