Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR DURING THE MASSAGE?
Ultimately, you should wear what you feel comfortable in! While some massages can be done through clothing, it makes the process more difficult, so during the massage we’ll aim to have the relevant area fully exposed. This doesn’t mean you need to be completely naked and we can always keep everything covered up that isn’t being worked on in that moment.
I HAVE ALLERGIES / SKIN CONDITIONS, WHAT OIL DO YOU USE?
Depending on the type of massage being undertaken, I’ll use a mixture of products. Principally, for all over massage work and for most of the Relax & Unwind massage, I’ll use a Grape Seed Oil. This is widely used across the massage industry as it is known to be one of the least reactive oils for use on skin. For more intensive muscle work, I’ll use a massage gel, which allows for more friction while still being comfortable. I’ll use this for much of a Sports Recovery massage.
If you have any concerns or known skin conditions, please let me know before an appointment and we can discuss options available.
IS THERE A HAPPY ENDING?
This question comes up rather often… so I figured I’d hit it head on here! In short - no. All massages are inherently intimate and it’s perfectly normal to find the touch arousing but there are specific types of massage dedicated to that (such as tantric and sensual styles) and that’s not something I specialise in.
I WANT A MASSAGE BUT I’M NOT SURE IF YOU OFFER WHAT I WANT…
The vast majority of relaxation-based massages have their origin in Swedish Massage techniques, which are a set of movements and actions designed to flow together into a beneficial and enjoyable experience. However, there are a myriad of different names and different styles of massage beyond this so if you have something specific in mind but don’t see it here, get in touch and let’s chat over what you’re looking for.
WILL YOU TRAVEL TO ME?
I’m based in Tamworth, Staffordshire and will happily conduct a massage here at my home or travel to you, bringing everything I need. All you’d need is a large enough space to set up the massage bench. For non-local trips I may need to charge an additional fee, but let me know where you are and we can work it out.
