FAQs

• How can I best prepare for my massage session?

  Avoid heavy meals right before your massage, as you might feel uncomfortable lying on a full stomach. A light meal or snack a couple of hours before is usually a better choice.

  Stay hydrated by drinking water before your massage, but avoid excessive amounts right before the session to prevent interruptions for bathroom breaks. If you have any specific concerns or preferences, communicate them with your therapist before the session begins. This includes discussing any injuries, areas of pain, or pressure preferences.

• Can I combine massage and sound healing?

  Massage therapy with sound healing is an incredible holistic practice that combines the benefits of massage therapy with the therapeutic properties of sound and vibrations. During a session, various massage techniques are used to relax the body, while sound healing instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, or percussions are used to create harmonic vibrations that help balance the body's energy and promote a deeper relaxation.

• What are best practices for post sessions?

  Pay attention to how your body feels after the massage. Drink plenty of water after. This helps to flush out toxins that may have been released during the massage and keeps your body hydrated. If possible, take some time to rest and relax after your massage. Avoid stressful situations and strenuous physical activity immediately afterward. Depending on the type of massage and any specific issues you were addressing, you may find relief from applying heat for stiffness to warm up the muscles or cold to reduce aches and pains. If you experience any discomfort or unusual sensations, contact your massage therapist for guidance.
