New to massage?
Whether you are a frequent visitor to a massage therapist or this is your first time, here are five tips that can help you feel at ease.

Wearing a shirt during a massage is perfectly acceptable, so feel free to share what would make it the most relaxing experience for you. Wearing of shorts or any loose comfortable clothing is acceptable for the modest.
Self-conscious about your weight - Massage therapists welcome the opportunity to heal all body types. TOMORROWS massage therapist Sherri explains, "I focus on clients' problem muscles and how best to treat them. There is no need to for embarrassment about any body part.” – Sherri
Don't be concerned about your body hair – While we may put pressure on ourselves to be hair-free on our legs, armpits, chest, or back, a massage therapist is not focused on body hair.

Ask questions – Many guests wonder what they should eat before a massage, if they can exercise after, or drink coffee. A massage therapist welcomes and appreciates thoughtful questions and wants to ensure that you have the most enjoyable experience before, during and after the massage.
