Anyone who either forgets or consciously chooses to forgo their appointment for whatever reason will be considered a “no-show.” They will be charged for their missed appointment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where will my energy or bodywork session take place?
Your energy or bodywork session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table especially designed for your comfort. If you are receiving energy work you will remain fully clothed. If you are receiving a combination of energy and body-work you will undress to your level of comfortability.
Must I be completely undressed?
Most bodywork techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session, only the area being worked on will be exposed. If it is an energy-only session, you will remain fully clothed throughout the session.
Will the practitioner be present when I disrobe?
The practitioner will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet, and blanket. If it is an energy-only session, you will remain fully clothed throughout the session.
What can I expect during my session?
Prior to your session, feel free to ask the practitioner any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the session, make yourself comfortable. The practitioner will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they have any feedback, questions anything else relevant to the session. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.
How will I feel after my session?
Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling relaxed and peaceful, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. It is important to stay well hydrated before and after your session.
What are the benefits of energy and bodywork?
Energy and bodywork can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture, and reduce blood pressure. It may also promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being. There are numerous mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual benefits that may result from your session that will be personal to your experience.
Are there any medical conditions that would make massage or bodywork inadvisable?
Yes. That's why it's imperative that, before you begin your session, the practitioner asks general health questions. It is very important that you inform the practitioner of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor's care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for massage or bodywork prior to any session. Depending on the condition, approval from your doctor may be required. Energy and bodywork are not meant to replace or supplant other medical care or treatment.
