Tips for a great home massage ~ book now online
1. Begin relaxing before your massage begins. If you're running around before your massage, it'll take you longer to wind-down once you're on the table. Allow yourself some moments of calm. Having a shower or bath before can begin your relaxation process.
2. Prepare a suitable space for the massage table. Ensure there is good access all around the table so your massage proceeds smoothly without me bumping into your furniture (or you). Obviously there are space constraints in some houses.
3. Turn your mobile phone off (& home phone if possible) Nothing’s more distracting than a phone going off during the massage. Even if you choose not to answer, it can still distract you and disturb the flow of your massage.
4. Turn the TV off! I’ve carried out massages on clients who have watched television throughout the massage, it’s their choice but sub-optimal for ‘me-time’.
5. Keep pets (and children) away from the massage space. Enjoying uninterrupted time for you can provide enhance the therapeutic benefits of your massage. I realise that this is not always possible. Many people are busy parents for whom having a home massage with their kids around is the only option. As a mum, I understand and am very comfortable with this.
6. Put on some music. Often I bring music, though for obvious reason I try to minimise the amount of equipment I need to carry. If you have a favourite album that assists you to relax, I’d love to hear it too.
7. Make sure that the temperature of the room is appropriate. In winter you will cool down significantly during the massage so a comfortably warm room is desirable.
8. Turn down the lights a little, draw the curtains and maybe light a candle or two. Turning over during your massage in a bright room can sometimes be an all too sudden return to reality. Creating a special space for your massage amplifies the energy you can receive.
9. If you want to chat during your massage then go ahead and talk. If you want silence your preference will be respected and conversation kept to a minimum. It’s your time.
10. At the end of the massage, take your time getting off the table. If you want to lie still for a minute or two then that’s fine with me. Staying in ‘your space’ and returning to reality slowly enhances the benefits of your massage (sometimes paying for the massage and collecting the receipt prior to your massage is the way to go). Bear in mind these are only suggestions and we aim to tailor your massage to your needs.
