Do feel free to inform family members and friends. Our objective is to fill the appointment times so our students will have plenty of “hands on” experience.
Do arrive about 10 minutes early. This will allow time for check-in, payment, and a preliminary interview. Since these procedures are required, arriving on the hour may take time away from your actual massage.
Do enter the school by the main front door and remember to be as QUIET as possible so as not to disturb other massages.
Don't bring infants or small children. We do not have provisions for child care and children may not be left unsupervised.
Don't wear jewelry and watches. These items need to be removed for the massage, so it is best to leave your valuables at home.

Expect to feel unusually relaxed.
Drink plenty of water to help those toxins that are stimulated flush their way through your system.
Massage therapy can also help establish good sleep patterns.
You may receive more than one massage a week or receive a two-hour massage.

have a fever
have a contagious rash (poison ivy, fungal infection, etc.)
have any type of infection
are incapacitated to travel
If you are not sure whether or not a particular condition is appropriate, simply call our office before the appointment, and someone will help you make an educated decision.
