Clothing Suggestions:

• You may receive your massage with or without clothes on.
• Sheets and blankets will be used to ensure your privacy and comfort if you choose to not wear clothes.
• If you would like to wear clothes then please wear loose fitting clothes, especially around the waist.
• Please make sure to wear clothes that you do mind getting wrinkled.
• Massage oil is used during sessions. If you are wearing clothes, oil may get on your clothes during a session. As well, the oil on your skin will come in contact with your clothes when you put them on after the session. You may ask for the therapist not to use oil, however this will affect the massage and some techniques will not be possible without the use of oil, eg. cupping.
• We do have tan colored T-shirts that may be purchased for $5 if for any reason you are concerned about oil getting on your shirt.
