Frequently asked questions
Everything people ask us before their first visit — answered.
What is a heated bamboo massage?
It's a full-body massage using warmed bamboo stalks instead of just hands to knead and roll out tension. The heat and pressure go deeper than most people expect, but you're in control of how much.
Should I book 60 or 90 minutes?
Sixty minutes covers the whole body. Ninety gives more time on the areas that need it, and more time to stop thinking. If you're not sure, book 90.
Do I have to undress fully?
Undress to whatever you're comfortable with. You'll be draped the whole time and only the area being worked on is uncovered.
How much does it hurt? I don't like deep pressure.
It shouldn't hurt. Tell me the pressure you want and say something if it's too much at any point — that's not being difficult, that's the point.
Can I get a massage while pregnant?
Yes, after the first trimester. It's done side-lying or with a pregnancy pillow, and your provider may need to clear it first.
Do I have to talk during the session?
No. Quiet is normal and it's not awkward. Say what you need at the start and then you can stop talking.
What should I do before my appointment?
Drink some water and eat something light so you're not lying there hungry. Come as you are — you don't need to shower or shave first.
How should I feel afterward?
Usually loose and a little tired. Some people are a bit sore the next day, especially after deeper work, and that passes.
How often should I come in?
For general stress, once a month is enough for most people. If you're working on something specific, closer together for a while, then space it out.
How do I book, and what if I need to cancel?
Book online or reach out directly. If you need to cancel or move your appointment, let me know as soon as you can — please check the current cancellation window when you book.
What if I'm running late?
Come anyway. The session may need to end at the scheduled time so the next person isn't pushed back.
Is there anything that would keep me from getting a massage?
A few conditions need your doctor's okay first, like recent injuries, blood clots, or a pregnancy in the first trimester. Tell me what's going on and we'll figure it out before you book.
