Good questions

Carry a little more ease.

How should I prepare for a massage?

Arrive hydrated and give yourself a few quiet minutes before your session. You do not need to know exactly what you need — that is what the opening conversation is for.

How often should I book?

There is no one schedule. Some guests come when they need a reset; others build a regular rhythm. We can talk about what would feel supportive for you.

Can I ask for a different pressure?

Always. Your comfort is part of the treatment. Tell us what feels good, what does not and what you would like more or less of at any point.
