Top Questions
What should i wear to my session?
Generally clients will wear their underwear. However if you feel more comfortable, a pair of stretchy or loose shorts will be appropriate. A normal bra or bikini is more suitable than a sports bra. Towels will be used to cover you during the massage and will be moved to allow access to the body part being treated.
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and relaxed.
