Your Questions Answered

Your First Massage

People are often nervous or anxious before their first massage. This is normal. We commend you for your courage to try something new and different. You can expect to be treated with care, concern and professionalism. You can expect to feel comfortable at all times. You can expect a therapist who will listen and perform a massage catered to your specific needs. This is your massage. You are in charge of the session and we are here to be sure your first massage experience is a positive one.

Making an Appointment

You may set up your appointment by telephone or by visiting Awakening Spirit. You may choose a male or female therapist, the type of massage you would like, and when your massage will take place. At this time, it is best to inform us of any specific needs you may have. If you are undergoing any medical treatment, it is very important that you talk to your physician to be sure massage therapy will complement your current treatment.

Your Massage Appointment

Some people arrive early to enjoy our relaxing environment. We suggest you arrive at least five minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time so you can complete a brief health history form. While waiting for your massage to begin you may browse our selection of books and gifts. Your therapist will come for you when it is time for your massage to begin.

How much will I have to undress?

Although the amount of clothing removed is always your choice, your therapist will make suggestions depending on the service you are receiving.

For a full body massage, we normally recommend undressing to underwear. For women, removing your bra allows the therapist to massage all areas of the back. You will be draped with a sheet at all times exposing only the area of the body on which the therapist is working. We realize this may be uncomfortable for some people. If this is the case, talk to your therapist. Allow them to soothe your worries and calm your mind. They are professionals and want you to have a positive experience.

Why do I have to drink water after a massage?

Massage removes waste products from the muscle tissue. This removal of waste can cause muscle soreness and headaches. Drinking water after a massage will assist in eliminating these toxins from your system and help you to maintain higher physical and mental energy levels.
