You will need to provide a sufficient area of at least 10 x 12 for the table to set up and to have adequate amount of space to move around. You should have the space warm enough for your own comfort. I will bring all necessary massage equipment and supplies. That will be all that you will need to provide. I provide services within Santa Clarita. Traditionally massage is directed on bare skin and most people do undress completely for their full-body massages.
While many clients have no reservations about removing all of their clothing, some do prefer to leave on their undergarments.
This is up to you and your own comfort levels. You will have privacy when you undress, plus you will be covered with the sheets and blanket at all times, except for the area of the body being massaged. First off make yourself comfortable. A big question I get asked is where do I put my arms? Again, make yourself comfortable.
If I want you to adjust your position I will either ask you to move or I will move the section of the body as necessary. Otherwise, move your body to make yourself more comfortable. Many people close their eyes and relax completely during a session; others prefer to talk. It is your massage and whatever feels natural to you is the best way to relax.
Some people feel better talking, others prefer to be silent. Often times people will start out talking then drift away as the massage continue on. Whatever helps you to relax the most is best. During the time of your massage I will probably find areas of tenderness or pain. The level of pain depends upon you and the pressure you want. Severe pain triggers the release of stress hormones into the bloodstream creating more stress which is hardly the goal of massage therapy.
