Massage Tips

---

No, we don't have memberships or contracts at Spa Daze.  You can pay as you go or purchase a package of sessions. 

Your Massage Therapist will advise you to "disrobe to the level of your comfort".  You can leave your underwear on, you can wear swimwear or athletic wear, or you can choose to remove your clothing.  You will be covered by a sheet during your treatment, private areas are ALWAYS covered & NEVER exposed, and we work around areas that are covered to protect client boundaries. 

No, it's actually a sign of an effective massage treatment!  It indicates that your nervous system is calming down and releasing beneficial endorphins, resulting in a spa daze! (See what we did there?)

We actually encourage you to work with more than one Massage Therapist for several reasons.  Some clients enjoy different styles of work for different needs from deep/therapeutic massage therapy to relaxation/energy work.  Also, if you need an appointment on a day that your practitioner is out or leaves Spa Daze, it's good to have a backup.  Your care always comes first. 

It happens, and it's ok!  No one will take offense if you prefer a different style of work or personality.  Your happiness and comfort is what we all strive for.  Just let the desk know and we can discreetly match you up with someone else, and keep trying until you have found your perfect connection. 

 We have a variety of modalities to choose from.  If you're unable to relax during a massage, your Therapist may recommend a Reiki or CranioSacral treatment to help "unravel" your nervous system.  It's not uncommon for some clients to feel the need to ease into the relaxation process. 

PLEASE reschedule your appointment.  Not only should you stay home & rest, but laying face down in the face cradle will increase pressure to your sinuses.  We also ask as a courtesy to not expose our Therapists or our work space, as we have clients who have compromised immunity or young children at home. 

It interferes with the pure, organic massage oil & aromatherapy used during your service.  It may also affect clients who are scent-sensitive following your appointment. 

*Please be aware that we use the highest quality essential oils & incense throughout our facility, as we are an Aromatherapy spa.  Please let us know in advance if you have allergies, asthma, and/or scent sensitivities so that we can make arrangements ahead of your appointment.  We do try to accommodate if we can but understand if you require a referral to a scent-free provider elsewhere.

Exceptions are medical or family emergency ONLY.  For all other calls, we ask that you not give attention to your phone while you are in session.  Should you need to answer your phone, the treatment will stop during the call & resume when you are finished and the session will be completed at it's scheduled time.  ASK ABOUT OUR "JUICE BAR" COMPLIMENTARY CHARGING STATION!!  We can "power up" your device while you "power down". 

You may disrobe to the level of YOUR comfort.  There is no standard for what you are to wear (or not wear) for your massage.  BY LAW, private areas on men & women are to be covered at ALL times. Some things to keep in mind, undergarments are a nonverbal boundary, the areas UP TO the underwear will be addressed.  Men choosing athletic shorts, swim shorts, or boxers, keep in mind that we can only work on exposed areas of the leg and will work through the sheet for the upper leg, hip, and sacral areas.  Women choosing to wear a bra or sports bra, it is certainly your choice, but please understand that treatment to the back is limited.  For individuals who are comfortable without undergarments, you will be discreetly draped, and only work area's are exposed. Discretion, trust, and comfort is our TOP priority. 

Whether it's face cradle comfort, bolster position, pressure adjustment, room temperature, stereo volume, or if you would prefer to stay quiet during your treatment, PLEASE let us know how we can improve your treatment experience.  We don't want you to suffer through your session.
