FAQ's

A mobile massage is simply when a therapist comes to you at your location - home or hotel. This is both convenient and time saving as you don't need to travel anywhere!  I bring a massage table, oil/lotion, and sheets/towels. My table size is approximately 1m(W) x 2m(L). The massage can be conducted in any room that fits my table in and you feel comfortable and relaxed in. A normal bed cannot be used as your mattress is not designed to properly support your body while pressure is being applied during a massage. From a professional therapist point of view - the ergonomics and body mechanics would not be favourable for neither therapist or client.

Otherwise, the massage process will be conducted in very much the same way as if you had gone to a spa/salon or massage centre. BUT, you will have more control of your environment ! So, things like your room temperature, the lighting level, the scent of the room and the music (if you want) you can set up yourself to your personal preference.

The industry standard answer is - "Undress to a level you feel comfortable with !" But bear in mind that you will be draped with either a sheet or towel, to not only keep your muscles warm but also to protect your modesty, with only the muscle group(s) that the therapist is working on being exposed for that duration.

I prefer that if you choose to wear clothing (underwear) that it be loose, comfortable underwear that you don't  mind possibly getting a little oil on. If you choose not to wear any clothing (fully naked) then that also is ok as draping will be used, as mentioned above.

Professionally - Full body means optional head to toe!  But, it obviously does not mean including the intimate areas of your body. 

Generally included may be - Feet, Legs, Glutes, Back, Neck, Arms, Hands, Stomach, Chest (not breasts), face and Scalp. But feel free to discuss with your therapist any areas of your body that you prefer not to have massaged.

• Begin by clearing a space for the massage table and your therapist. I will need a minimum space of approximately 2m x 1m.

• Ensure the room is set up to your environmental preference - Temperature, lighting, scent, and music/silence.

• Have a short shower - no need to shave your legs !

• Have a warm robe to wear for before and after the massage.

• Prepare any questions, or anything you may want to discuss with your therapist, relevant to your massage. 

• Relax and enjoy your massage !

• Once your booking is confirmed I will arrive at the confirmed time. If I am running early or late I will message you with an updated time.

• On arrival, I will either give you a consultation form to fill in or verbally go through a consultation, while I am setting up my table in the space you have already prepared for your massage. ( I don't bring music with me - so you may have to provide your own background noise, if you wish).

• We will go through and finalise a massage plan - focus areas, preferred pressure, health concerns, movement limitations, recommended style, etc.

• When the massage table is ready I will allow you your privacy to disrobe and lay down on the table between the sheets.

• Once you indicate that you are ready I will approach the table and begin the massage. Your journey into relaxation then begins.....

• During the massage I will check in on you with regards to the pressure, I may ask a few more closed questions about your lifestyle, and direct you when it is time to move or turn over. But other than that I leave you to your own thoughts allowing you to unwind your mind and achieve a deeper sense of relaxation. It is not uncommon for my clients to fall asleep during a massage. (I take this as a compliment as it shows that your nervous system is no longer in fight/flight mode).

• Once the massage is over - I will again give you your privacy to disembark the massage table and redress. While I am packing away - I will discuss any feedback and after care advice/suggestions. Suggest the frequency of treatments to address any issues which would need a number of sessions to resolve. (Unfortunately, it may not always be possible to undo in an hour something which took months, or even years to develop)!

• Common side effects after a Carib Massage Therapy - You may feel "sleepy" (overly relaxed), "Thirsty" (dry throat due to deeper breathing), Need to "urinate" ( Your lymphatic system is clearing waste more efficiently, your digestive system is more relaxed and you are less tense).
