MASSAGE
Massage has been correlated with other "touch practices" over
the centuries, however, the only type of massage offered is therapeutic
massage. We pride ourselves on specializing in
first-time massage by offering a safe, secure environment.
Our therapists treat each guest with respect and honor your
trust in them. We feel blessed that we are able to
open the door to healing through massage; after all, massage
may be the first time that a guest has been touched in a
positive manner. Old wounds, attachments and
"emotional baggage" may be healed and washed away, as may be
emotional, mental and physical stresses.
Who
will perform my massage?
Licensed, trained professionals with
over 500 hours of formal education including classes in
anatomy, physiology, therapeutic massage modalities, ethics,
etc. Our therapists are First Aid and CPR trained.
Do I
need to undress?
Most massage
and body therapies are typically performed with the guest
unclothed & proper draping & modesty are crucial to your
comfort & privacy. You may undress to your level of
comfort...some individuals prefer to leave their
undergarments on - we respect your wishes. We do ask
that you remove your jewelry & glasses in order to promote a
more relaxing session.
Won't
I be cold during massage?
We've gone the extra step by adding
heat-adjustable table warmers to each of our treatment
tables so you'll be more comfortable during your session.
What
do I need to do?
Please tell your therapist about any
injuries, problems or surgeries in the recent past, as well
as any pertinent medical problems ~ fill out the New Guest
Profile ~ close your eyes, deep BREATHE & relax! Feel
free to ask questions before or after the massage. For
your relaxation & that of guests in the next treatment room,
we ask that conversations be kept quiet. However,
please keep your therapist informed of your comfort level &
whether you desire lighter or firmer pressure during your
session.
How
will I feel after my massage?
The majority of our guests are very
relaxed; some feel a decrease in long-term aches & pains.
After an initial "slowed down" feeling, many feel enhanced
energy and sense of well-being. These effects of
massage are cumulative...
If I
have a specific medical condition, can I still receive a
massage?
Thorough completion of the New Guest
Profile and communication of updated medical information
prior to each session is crucial as it informs your
therapist of any health issues. If you are under a
health care provider's care, it is advisable that you
receive written approval for massage.
Can a
massage really help my body to heal? Is there any
research?
Absolutely! Research on the
effects of massage therapy are being conducted daily.
Massage is a widely recognized modality that can assist in
recovery from a large variety of illnesses, as well as
facilitate the prevention of similar wellness challenges.
