Where will my massage take place?
Our professional offices are located along the Gilbert/Mesa border, near Val Vista Drive and Baseline Road. Your massage session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music will be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table specially designed for your comfort.

Who will perform the massage or bodywork?
You can be sure your session will be conducted by a professional licensed therapist who has received proper training and certifications.

Must I be completely undressed?
You should undress to your desired level of comfort. Most of our clients prefer to be completely undressed, while the others prefer to keep their undergarments on. It should be noted that if you leave any clothing on, such as an undergarment, that area is considered a boundary and cannot be worked. The therapist must leave the room should you decide to remove the clothing article, and cannot remove it for you. Either way, you are the client and your comfort comes first. Our therapists are trained to work with you in all situations.

Will the therapist be present when I disrobe?
The massage therapist will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table and cover yourself with a clean sheet and/or towel.

Will I be covered during the session?
You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.

What parts of my body will be massaged?
You and the massage therapist will discuss the desired outcome of your session. This will determine which parts of your body require massage. A typical full body session will include work on your back, abdomen, gluts, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. You will not be touched on or near your genitals (male or female) or breasts (female).

What should I do during my massage?
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 close their eyes and completely relax. Feel free to let your massage therapist know if you would like deeper or lighter pressure. You will feel the maximum benefit if you remain quiet during your massage.

When should I get a massage?
Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to wait until you are stressed or injured to get a massage. Any time is a good time for a massage. Massage is like a health-supplement or preventative care for a person's body and mind. A regular massage is a great way to cope with physical or emotional stress and to keep it from causing discomfort or harm to your body.

Should I be concerned about receiving a massage or bodywork from a male therapist?
In general, nothing about a therapist's gender will tell you about the style or quality of massage they give. Some people are more comfortable receiving a massage from a person of the same gender, some from a person of the opposite gender. While no professional wants their services refused based upon their gender, they also realize that if you're nervous about who is giving you the massage, then you won't be able to relax and enjoy your massage. Please note that our therapists are trained, licensed professionals, and have a higher-than-average degree of skill and knowledge, thus ensuring that you are making the right choice by visiting us.

What if I am embarrassed about my body?
Massage therapists are professionals and have experience working with all shapes and sizes, from young to old. The focus is to provide therapeutic relief, not judge your physique.

How often should I receive a massage?
The answer to this question depends on your reasons for receiving a massage. For those who use massage as preventative care or to manage daily stress, one massage a month is common. Weekly sessions may be necessary if you are receiving massage for injury relief or to relieve chronic tightness that is interfering with your daily life. If this is the case, weekly sessions are essential in order to build on each week's improvements in healing until the desired results have been achieved. For most people, the frequency of massage visits depends on how well it fits into a budget. For this reason, we have several membership options to make it easy for you to afford the benefits of massage on a regular basis.

What does a massage therapist's license mean?
A license means that a massage therapist has met the requirements and paid the fee to legally practice massage in your city, county and/or state. To obtain a license, a massage therapist will usually have to complete a minimum number of training hours at an accredited or accepted school or training center. In the State of Arizona, a massage therapist is required to complete a minimum of 700 hours of training, and be licensed with the State. Click here to learn more from the Arizona Massage Board.

How much should I tip?
Many clients are unsure if and/or how much they should tip their massage therapist. We recommend you think of your massage therapist as you would a waiter in a restaurant. They love what they do and your tip should reflect your appreciation for their service. Tipping percentages should be based on the full price of a regular massage. Remember, our therapists have a very physical job.
