   • Temperature of the table,
   • Music selection or volume,
   • Area being addressed,
   • Depth or pace of massage,
   • If you would like to talk or be silent,  
   • The goal is for you to be happy with your experience, so feel free to talk to your therapist.

3. Your privacy will be honored at all times.

   • Your professional therapist will discuss your preferences at your initial consultation.  
   • Please be respectful to the therapist, and remain under the drape at all times during your massage.

1. If you are late, your session will be cut short so that the therapist may remain on schedule and the full amount will be charged.
2. Cancellation of a massage prior to 24 hours before the scheduled session will not be charged.
3. Cancellation within 24 hours of the scheduled massage will be charged 75% of the rate for treatment.
