How to Prepare for Your First Massage Appointment

Simple, practical steps to help your first session feel calm and straightforward from the moment you arrive.

If you're booking your first massage, a little preparation can help the session feel calm and straightforward. Here are a few practical notes.

Before you arrive

Hydrate normally and avoid arriving on a very full stomach or completely empty. Wear comfortable clothing that's easy to take on and off. If you have any questions, it's fine to ask them when you book.

Sharing your preferences

Before the session begins, you'll have time to talk through areas of focus, pressure preferences, and anything that would help you feel comfortable. There's no need to have it all figured out — a few honest sentences are enough.

During the session

Your comfort comes first. Olivia can explain appropriate draping and clothing options based on the type of session you book. You're encouraged to communicate pressure and comfort preferences before and throughout.

Afterward

Give yourself a little space to transition back into your day. There's no rush. If you have practical questions, ask them before you leave.
