Before Your Massage
Where will my West Fargo massage take place?
Your massage will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music helps you relax, and you will lie on a table designed for your comfort.
Must I undress completely?
Massage techniques are commonly performed with the client unclothed, but you may wear whatever you’re comfortable in. You will be draped appropriately with clean sheets.
How long is a typical session?
Sessions typically last 60, 90, or 120 minutes, depending on the service you choose. Let us know your preference when booking.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just yourself! We provide all necessary linens, products, and accessories for your session.
During Your Massage
Will the therapist be present when I disrobe?
The therapist will leave the room while you undress and settle onto the table. You will remain properly draped at all times.
What parts of my body will the therapist massage?
A typical session includes your back, arms, legs, hands, feet, neck, shoulders, and head. You may choose to focus on specific areas of need.
What will the massage feel like?
Swedish massage begins with broad, flowing strokes to calm muscles and the nervous system. Pressure can be adjusted to your comfort. Always communicate with your therapist if anything feels uncomfortable.
What should I do during the massage?
Relax and communicate your comfort level. Let the therapist know if you need more or less pressure.
After Your Massage
How will I feel after the session?
Most clients feel deeply relaxed and may experience relief from chronic aches. Increased energy and mental clarity often follow. Drink plenty of water afterward to support recovery.
Are there any medical conditions that make massage unwise?
Inform your therapist about any medical conditions or medications. If under a doctor’s care, a written recommendation is advised prior to treatment.
