NO. You may undress down to your comfort level. A massage should always be discreet.

The therapist will only expose the area that is being worked on. If a woman chooses to keep a bra on they may be asked if they would like to undo the bra in the back for a more thorough back massage along with avoiding oils or lotion to get on their clothes.

If you like you can request to stay completely dressed and get worked on without any lotions or oils as well.

A Matrix Massage is basically a custom-fit massage for your needs. I may or may not use stones warm towels, essential oils.

I may go deep in areas that require more attention it depends on your needs. The therapist will usually go over that with you ahead of time.

Each time an individual comes for service the goals will vary so you will discuss with your therapist any present issues that should be addressed.

For example, if you have a stiff neck may require half of a one hour service. If you are stressed over work pressures you may want to focus on relaxing and calming your whole body….

Yes, you can but if you can refrain from going into conversations with your therapist you will get better results from your session.

The therapist may check in with you to make sure you are comfortable as well as checking the pressure of the work. Never hesitate to speak up if anything is at all uncomfortable.

Paying attention to the work that is being done is most effective for the session as it puts you in a focused and meditative state of relaxation and allows you to become more aware of your body which may help you make different choices such as a focus on posture more when you are not on the massage table.

You will lay underneath the sheet and blanket and relax… the therapist may ask you to move at times like to turn face up or down on the table which also remains discreet.

Unless the therapist asks you to move. A massage gets the best kneaded results when the client is in a relaxed state.

If you are getting an hour session it starts the moment you get on the table to the moment the therapist leaves the room.

Ideally, I believe should get a massage once a month. However there are a lot of factors that might affect your scheduling.

If you have certain physical issues that you would like to resolve soon, then you can go over with the therapist a schedule that would work best for you.

Everyone is different and will have different needs.

Most of the time people get up feeling much more relaxed, lighter on their toes… less pain or the pain is gone.

If the work was deep and focused in certain areas or you haven’t had a massage in a very long time you may feel sore, like a workout sore but that usually passes after a day.

Usually, whatever area that was causing you pain may go away or subside substantially after a day or so as well.

Some places such as spas expect tips 15 -20 % is standard tipping. Other places such as clinical environments sometimes cannot accept tips.

You can always ask if you feel compelled. Tipping really is up to the individual. I personally never expect but I humbly and graciously accept if you choose to.

If you cancel less than 24 hours before your service you are required to pay a 50% cancellation fee as your therapist relies on an income and less than 24 hours is not enough time to fill in the missing time.
