You will be wearing underpants only for the massage. I will be as discreet as possible throughout the massage and any part of you not being massaged will be covered with a sheet. So just wear comfortable clothes that are easy to change in and out of.

Does the consultation time count as part of the massage?

What is the best length for a massage?

90 minutes is the length that is recommended for those that are new to the style of massage.

How active is the massage? How much movement will there be?  

During the massage we work on relaxing the nervous system as much as we can. Noticing where you are holding tension and allowing you to release. All movement is done in a slow and careful manner to gain full relaxation of the nervous system, and is guided and facilitated by the therapist. You may be asked to change position a few times during the massage: prone, to child's pose, to supine, maybe seated postures, back to supine. But you will not be asked to move any more than necessary!
