✨ Massage Prep Tips – How to Get the Most Out of Your Session ✨

Massage day isn’t just a self-care checkbox—it’s a ritual. A sacred pause. And with just a little prep, you can walk into your session feeling aligned, ready, and open to receive the full magic.

🌿 Your Ritual Prep Guide 🌿

✅ Tie Up That Mane

Let your hair know it’s not the star today—your nervous system is. Pull it back so your therapist can work freely and your strands stay oil-free.

✅ Skip the Bling

Rings, necklaces, bracelets—they interrupt the flow. Leave them at home or tuck them away safely.

✅ Cleanse with Intention

A warm shower or bath before your session helps your muscles loosen and your energy ground. You’re not just cleaning your skin—you’re preparing your field.

✅ Hydrate Like a Queen

Water helps flush out tension and toxins. Before and after. Yes, both.

✅ Eat Light

A heavy meal will weigh you down. Keep it light and nourishing—enough to support, not distract.

✅ Speak Your Needs

You are your best advocate. Don’t hesitate to tell your therapist what you love, what to avoid, or how much pressure feels good.

✅ Arrive Early

Five to ten minutes can make all the difference. Use that time to breathe, soften, and mentally land.

Your massage isn’t just a break from the grind—it’s a return to yourself. These simple prep steps aren’t about perfection; they’re about presence. They help your body feel safe, seen, and supported before a single hand touches your skin.

So treat the moments before your session as part of the healing itself. Breathe. Release. And walk in knowing your only job is to receive.

You’ve earned this. Let your body remember what it feels like to soften into care. 💫
