Scheduling Your Appointment
Select
a time and day that you will not be extremely rushed upon arrival or
departure. This is important time that you have set aside to for
yourself ~ because you deserve it!
When You Arrive
All
new
clients will complete an information form. This will provide insight
regarding your primary complaint, current health, lifestyle and
medical history which will allow me to focus on the appropriate
direction of your session.
Your Massage Session
I
will review your information form prior to your session. After all
your questions are answered and a review of your needs are assessed;
you will disrobe to your comfort level in privacy and relax on the
massage table. When you are ready I will re-enter the room and we will
begin your session. The typical full-body massage includes work on your
back, glutes, legs, feet, neck, shoulders, arms, hands and scalp. I
maintain a high level of respect for all clients, only uncovering the
areas being worked on.
Please
note: You have the right to open communication during the massage.
Please let me know if the pressure needs to be adjusted for your
comfort level.
What To Expect After Your Massage
Depending
on the kind of massage you receive, and your current state of health,
your body may feel a variety of different things. You might feel
completely relaxed or you could feel quite fatigued. You many even experience some soreness the next day or so. It is highly
recommended that after any massage/bodywork session that you drink
plenty of water. Massage loosens many toxins as well as lactic acid in your body, and the added
water will help with proper elimination and flushing out your system.
Emotional Healing
"Our
issues are in our Tissues". This phrase commonly used by bodyworkers,
refers to the physical toll that emotional stress and trauma can have
on our bodies. Experiences and feelings can actually become part of our
physiology, keeping us from fully processing difficult experiences and
moving on. Fortunately, massage and bodywork can help dislodge and
process stored and often hidden grief and pain, resulting in emotional
release and the ability to let go of anxiety and sorrow.
Each
time we are touched, the emotions related to that touch are stored in
our mind and in our body's tissues. We not only store the emotions of
pleasure and happiness, but also stress and fear. These stored
experiences show up in bad posture, aches and pains or, when we're
fortunate, healthy, functioning muscles and joints. Just as it takes
the use of more muscles to frown than to smile, the effort it takes to
tuck away experiences or feelings we'd rather forget can cause fatigue
and painful tension.
When
you receive a massage, the muscles and tissues release on an emotional
level in much the same way they release physical tension. This letting
go manifests in many forms - an audible sigh, laughter, muscle
twitching or even tears. In the safe, nurturing space of a therapy
room, people are able to let down their defenses, making these kinds of
emotional releases a common occurrence.
Remember
that emotional release during bodywork is not unusual and is actually a
natural and beneficial part of the cleansing, rejuvenating process of
massage. You may choose to continue the massage, or request the
therapist work more slowly or only on certain areas. But if you decide
not to go on, that's okay, too.
Massage
is a healing touch that relaxes and releases. Welcome that release,
accept it as your body's way of finding balance and leading you to a
higher state of health, both emotionally and physically. If you find
yourself on the massage table laughing or crying, you are in a true
state of body-mind connection. Go with the experience. Relax, breathe
deeply and allow your body and mind to free itself of the past.
