Before
Confirm the provider, price, setting, and plan
Verify credentials where regulation applies, read cancellation terms, and ask how the proposed massage fits your goal. Bring a short list of boundaries and access needs.
- Confirm total price
- Verify the therapist name
- Ask about clothing and draping
During
Expect explanation before touch and movement
The therapist should confirm areas, pressure, and position before starting. You can change pressure, conversation, temperature, music, draping, or the session itself.
- Use plain change words
- Ask before turning
- Stop at any point
After
Dress privately and evaluate the experience
Notice how you feel, clarify payment and gratuity, and document any concern. A rebooking invitation should be optional rather than urgent.
- Stand slowly
- Ask follow-up questions
- Do not accept fear-based sales pressure
