How can I schedule an appointment?
Call Emma I will be happy to find a time that works for you! Txt me, or DM me on social media with your name and a time that would suit you and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Are walk-ins and same day appointments available?
Same day appointments are sometimes available, and I can also put you on the wait list. However, I tend to be fully booked so I recommend booking in advance.
Will I get a full 60 minutes of massage when I book a 1 hour appointment?
Yes, you receive the full amount of treatment time that you pay for. You are not charged for the intake and consultation process, or the time it takes you to dress.
What if I am late arriving to my appointment?
Please arrive on time for your appointment. Time for your appointment has been specially arranged for you. If you arrive late your session may be shortened in order to accommodate others whose appointments follow yours. I will do my best to provide you with the services you have booked, but I cannot guarantee the full time if you arrive late. Full payment for your scheduled services will be expected.
What should I do if I need to cancel my appointment?
If you need to reschedule your appointment, please call, txt or message on social media to reschedule. For late notice cancellations, please call me directly at 07926397095 as soon as possible.
Cancellations without 24 hour notice may result in a charge for your session, as that time has been set aside specifically for you. Review my Policies and procedures for more information

What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept cash, credit card, debit card, bank transfer or gift certificates.
Should I tip my massage therapist?
Tipping is neither required nor expected, but of course I appreciate the gesture! I do not depend on tips, but if you would like to leave a tip, simply add the gratuity at checkout.
The best appreciation you can show is by referring your friends and family to me and letting them know about the amazing benefits of massage therapy!

Do I need to shower before my massage?
You don't need to necessarily shower right before your massage, but I do ask that you come to your appointments clean and free of fragranced personal care products.
Should I take off my underwear when I get a massage?
This depends on your comfort level and the type of massage you are going to receive.
For Sports Massage & Stretching, Light Touch Massage, and Reiki & Energy Balancing, you may be asked to leave some or all of you clothing on.
For Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Prenatal Massage, just keep your undergarments on.
Tight-fitting or bulky undergarments can sometimes get in the way of the massage, especially if your problem areas are the low-back, buttocks, or hips. Women usually remove their bras so no straps are in the way of back and shoulder massage.
I always ensure that clients are always properly covered by a sheet or towel, genitals will never be exposed, and only the specific areas being massaged will be uncovered.

Is it okay to talk to the massage therapist during my massage?
It is completely your choice most clients will maybe chat for the first 5-10 minuets and tend to quieten down as they relax.
You will experience the greatest benefits from your session if you just allow yourself to just relax...which helps me focus on providing a great massage!
Definitely communicate with me if you feel any pain or discomfort, if you have any concerns during your massage, or if there is anything I can do to make you more comfortable. Some types of massage that work on deep layers of muscle and tissue, such as deep tissue or sports massage, will require more feedback to ensure that the pressure is not uncomfortable.

Can I joke about “happy endings” even if I have no interest in receiving one?
No, not even as a joke. This is disrespectful to myself as a massage therapist and our profession. Additionally, I have a zero tolerance policy and any sexual advances, innuendo, or inappropriate touching is grounds for immediate termination of your session.
What should I do after I receive a massage?
It's a great idea to give yourself some additional time after your massage to continue relaxing and to allow your body to fully absorb the benefits of massage. I leave plenty of time in between appointments so that you never feel hurried and can take your time before you head out the door.
Keep hydrated.

Should I tell my therapist if I have a rash or wart?
Yes, please let me know right away.
What if I get aroused or get an erection during my massage?
Arousal is a natural parasympathetic response, so don’t feel guilty. However, understand that it was not my intention to arouse you. Our professional ethical code of conduct that requires us to make sure boundaries are clear. If there is a distracting technique or motion (i.e. rocking the prone torso) that aroused you, it is okay to tell me to stop that motion. Just to be clear, I do have a zero tolerance policy and any sexual advances, innuendo, or inappropriate touching is grounds for immediate termination of your session.

Can I blow my nose, itch, or get up and go to the bathroom during a session?
Of course! I don’t want you lying there uncomfortable and preoccupied, so feel free to take care of it.
What if I fall asleep, snore, or drool during my massage?
This very often happens during a massage and is nothing to be embarrassed about. I just take it as a sign you are enjoying the relaxation!
What if I have big breasts that get in the way or make it uncomfortable to lay face down?
If you are uncomfortable laying face down, or in any other position, let me know. Bolsters and towels can be used to make you as comfortable as possible.
