Q: Do I have to be fully nude for my massage?
A: No. When getting a table massage, you will be asked to undress to YOUR level of comfort. This varies for everyone, but be assured that genitalia will not be exposed or touched. There are also many techniques that can be completed over clothing.
Q: What is the difference between a massage therapist and a masseuse/masseur?
A: The terms masseuse and masseur are older terms that referred to someone who gave professional massages, however, those terms are now associated with many illegal and unethical acts. A massage therapist is a professional that has completed an accredited course of study and holds the appropriate licensure.
Q: Do I have to tip my massage therapist?
A: No, but it is greatly appreciated. Tips can be added to a credit card transaction or as cash.
Q: Can I talk during my massage?
A: Yes, however this may impact your ability to fully relax or take away from your massage therapist's focus on areas of your body that need more attention. Your massage therapist may ask you about pressure and comfort, but will otherwise leave initiation of conversation to you.
