your physician when you have been involved in an automobile accident or a work-related
accident.

have very sensitive skin, will your lotions bother me?
We only use premium quality hypoallergenic lotions during therapy.
After therapy will my skin be oily and stain my clothes?
We only use lotions, no oils unless you request an aromatherapy
blend. The lotions will not stain clothes. Most people like to let the lotion
absorb into the skin. However, if you prefer very little lotion residue, tell
your therapist and she will provide you with a towel and some witch hazel to
remove any excess lotion.

for your massage treatment at the scheduled time and organize your day so that
there will be a minimum amount of distrurbances.

4.167% Hawaii state tax. Gratuity is customary in Hawaii and not included.
Can
I purchase gift certificate?
Yes, gift certificates are always available. They make a unique
gift and can be given to just about anyone for any reason. Our gift certificates
are beautiful and customizable.
If possible, rest or take a walk after a massage to allow some time to adjust to your new relaxed state. My clients find this helps them get the most out of a massage.
Here are some tips for during the massage: If the massage is too light or too hard, ask to have the pressure changed. Some massage types can be very light (polarity, cranio-sacral, myofascial unwinding, etc.) but asking is appropriate. Notify your therapist if you become uncomfortable (or need water, less blankets, light moved), Remember to tell the practitioner where you hurt. This way the massage can focus on where you need it most.
Here are some tips for after the massage: Drink lots of water. This helps the body flush out toxins that you were able to release during the massage. Plan to take the first 30 minutes after a massage lightly. For example, sit quietly or go on a short walk . This allows the massage to settle into the body. Some clients find that a nice warm bath is very refreshing.
