Massage Therapy FAQ
What should I wear on the table?
Less is more...the less you wear the more the therapist can work on. Some people wear underwear and some people do not. Your therapist does not care either way. You will be professionally covered with a blanket and sheet the entire service. Our table also has a heater and we have a heated blanket available, we promise you won't get cold.

Will the massage therapist be in the room while I disrobe?
The massage therapist will step out of the room to give you privacy while you disrobe. We will give you plenty of time to get undressed and on the table. Before they enter, the massage therapist will knock and ask to come inside.

Does it have to be a full body massage?
Absolutely not! If you do not like your feet or legs worked on (or other areas) please just let your therapist know during your consultation.

Will my massage be painful?
Sometimes there is pain in a massage but there doesn't have to be. Usually the "pain" is similar to a good stretch. Each person is different. Some people like that stretch feeling and some do not. It is important to communicate with your therapist before and during your service so that you can be happy at the end. You won't hurt their feelings, we promise.

I just want my neck and back worked on. Is that ok?
Of course! It is your massage. If you still want the time spent on tension areas but don't want to sacrifice time other places consider booking a 15 minute focus.

How will I feel after my massage?
Most people feel very relaxed. Some even experience a burst of energy! It is very common to feel sore after a massage. This is because the skin and muscles aren't used to being pushed around for an extended period of time. It can even feel tender to the touch, especially in the neck and shoulder area. It can even feel like you did a vigorous workout. It will get better after a day or two. Just make sure you drink plenty of water and take it easy for the rest of the day.

Is it beneficial to have a float and a massage together? Which should I do first?
Booking a massage and a float together is an amazingly relaxing & rejuvenating experience. Some say it is the most relaxing experience they have ever had.
Whether to have a massage before or after your float is personal preference – for those who have never floated before the massage is a good way to prepare for the float & we find that first time floaters who have a massage beforehand seem to relax quicker into the tank environment. For clients with extreme muscular tension, floating first can assist with breaking through the first few layers of tension, allowing the massage therapist to more quickly achieve results.

Will my massage therapist talk during my session?
Our massage therapist will talk to you before your session begins to discuss your goals. She will also check in with you from time to time during the massage to make sure you are ok with the pressure. Other than that she understands that this is your time to relax. She will take her cues from you: if you want to talk, she will talk with you. If you are silent, she will be silent. You cannot hurt her feelings. If halfway through, you decide you don't want to talk anymore, THAT IS OK. Just let her know and she will be quiet. Communication is important during a massage.

Though we love children, we do not allow guests to leave them in the waiting room during a service. Nor do we allow you to have your child in the treatment or sauna room with you during your service.

Halo-IR FAQ
Why are the Salt Booth sessions only 20min? I though salt cave sessions were longer.
Traditional salt cave sessions are usually 40minutes or longer. But that is because the space is larger and more people are in the room breathing the salty air. Because our Halo-IR is smaller, and for only 1-2 people, that means you don't have to spend as much time in the space to get the same benefits.

Do I have access to a shower if schedule a sauna session?
We absolutely offer access to a shower. We provide a towel, shampoo, body wash, deodorant, body lotion, and comb.

Can I book a Infrared Sauna session for two people at the same time?
Although the Halo-IR is big enough for two people, unfortunately we cannot book two people for a sauna session. We only have one shower. So to keep things moving smoothly we can only offer sauna sessions back to back. We can offer two people to book a Salt Booth session together though.
