How will my first massage be?
Once I arrive at your home, I will begin setup in the designated area I am directed to. Massage table, sheets, oils, and towels will be provided. The typical session is an hour long, unless otherwise discussed, and is a full body treatment: head to toe.

Unless its a sports massage, clients are asked to dress down to their level of comfort. Most times, that means derobing to your undergarments. If you are comfortable being nude, that is acceptable as well granted you will be fully draped throughout the session.

Draping refers to how the sheet or towel is arranged on your body to cover you throughout the massage. Only the body part being worked on will be exposed and only one body part will be worked on at a given time. The table will be dressed with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and a warm fleece blanket.
