Before You Arrive
If you have never experienced a professional massage, energy healing, or Myofascial Release session before, you may have some questions about what to expect or what you should do to prepare beforehand. Below are some suggestions for preparing yourself for a massage, and what you can expect from me.
What to Wear - Wear clothes that you are comfortable in for before and after your session.
Sobriety - As performing massage and body work on anyone who is under the influence is highly frowned upon and not recommended by health professionals, we respectfully request that you remain sober for our session. If you are visibly intoxicated when you arrive, your appointment will be canceled and you will be liable for the full cost of the treatment that was to be provided.
Professionalism - As Licensed Massage Therapists, you can expect that we will be clean, courteous and professional in appearance and behavior. As our client, we hope and expect that you will treat us with the same courtesy. Any illicit or sexually suggestive remarks or advances will result in immediate termination of the session. You will be liable to pay the full fee for the scheduled appointment and will not be able to re-book any further sessions with Ouroboros Therapeutic Arts in the future. In the case of solicitation, the authorities will be notified as will our professional colleagues.
Scope of Practice - While the benefits of massage include relaxation, therapeutic, recovery, and medical purposes, please note that it is not within our scope of practice to diagnose illnesses and/or ailments, or mental health concerns. Myofascial release, massage therapy, and energy healing sessions are not substitutes for medical care or therapy. If you believe you are suffering from a physical or mental ailment, please contact your primary doctor or mental health counselor. If you do not have a mental health counselor and wish to begin seeing one, we recommend Demire Coffin-Williams, LMHC, of Holistic Wellness and Recovery. Please visit his website for more information.
What to Wear - Wear clothes that you are comfortable in for before and after your session.
- For Myofascial Release and Manual Lymphatic Drainage, it is recommended that men wear underwear and/or gym shorts for treatment, and women wear a sports bra and gym shorts or a two-piece bathing suit. Please do not apply lotion or moisturizer before an MFR or MLD session.
- Massage is performed best when done on bare skin, but if you are more comfortable leaving underwear on while the massage is being done, that is perfectly fine.
- Energy healing sessions are done with the client fully clothed.
Sobriety - As performing massage and body work on anyone who is under the influence is highly frowned upon and not recommended by health professionals, we respectfully request that you remain sober for our session. If you are visibly intoxicated when you arrive, your appointment will be canceled and you will be liable for the full cost of the treatment that was to be provided.
