Q: What should I expect?
A: The massage room is in a quiet and private area
away from any distractions or interruptions. The room
is arranged in a dimly lit area with quiet meditative
music as to excel as much relaxation and comfort needed
to ensure a deeply beneficial massage. We use scented
and unscented massage oils/lotions. And have comfortable
cushions and pillows to help in the proper positioning
with spinal alignment.

Q: What do I wear?
A: That's totally up to you. We prefer you to completely
disrobe. If you feel more comfortable wearing undergarments
that's not a problem. You are NEVER exposed and always
under sheets/blankets. You will need to remove ALL jewelry.

Q: I'm hurting NOW, when can I see you?
A: Average wait time is 24-48 hours for an appointment.
Although from time to time We "may" have a cancellation,
it's easier if you call ahead. We'll try to get you
in as soon as possible within our physical capacity.

Q: Will I be exposed in any way?
A: NEVER!!! You will always be draped be either a
sheet or blanket depending on room temperature and your
comfort zone. Maryland State Law prohibits any form of
exposure, so your privacy will NEVER be invaded.

Q: I recently had surgery, should I get a massage?
A: Depending on the surgical procedure and on your
Doctors advice you probably can. What I will do is isolate
the surgical area and work around it, trying not to interfere
with any previous incisions or procedures.

Q: What is seated chair massage?
A: The client sits with their face angled toward
the floor, in a custom massage chair, kind of a forward
facing recliner. You stay clothed at all times and we
work through the clothing on the back, neck and shoulder
areas. This is extremely helpful for those unsure of
massage as a way to learn about the therapist and meaning
behind massage. This also is a good introduction to
neck shoulder problem areas concerned with migraines
and carpal tunnel syndrome. Stop by the Photo Album
to view images.

Q: I have a previous medical condition, should I
try massage?
A: Depending on the medical condition, we will want
to see a permission slip or a referral from your Physician
first. Massage is not meant to eliminate ANY form of
traditional treatment, but to enhance it.

Q: Do you offer gift certificates?
A: Yes, each gift certificate can be purchased out
of our locations of operation, but must be redeemed
at the place where it was purchased. They can be purchased
by session or by any dollar increments. Please be advised,
that session rates may increase after the purchase of
a gift certificate. It is the client's responsibility
to pay the difference.

. . . . .
Q: How often should I get a massage?
A: Frequency depends on what the problem is. We
recommend if your pain is acute or a result of an injury
that you visit every three days. For pain that is experienced
continually, we recommend monthly "maintenance"
visits. Listen to your body and let it tell you. The
therapist will make a suggestion depending on work being
done.
