Woman taking a shower — A shower before your session might be necessary.

Should I Shower Before a Massage?

Yes! Showering before your massage is highly recommended, especially if you exercise, work outdoors, or do physically demanding jobs. Clean, warm skin helps your massage be more effective by relaxing muscles, loosening fascia, and improving circulation. Exfoliating gently with a washcloth, loofah, or agate cloth can further enhance the benefits.

Clean skin not only makes the experience more comfortable, but it also allows oils and lotions to work more effectively. It’s a simple step that helps create the best environment for your bodywork.

Do I Need to Shave Before a Massage?

Absolutely not! Hair stubble or unshaven legs will never affect the quality of your massage. Don’t let shaving or not shaving keep you from your regular self-care.

My office does not have shower facilities, so please plan to shower beforehand.

Thank you for respecting this policy. Your cooperation ensures the best possible massage experience for both you and your therapist.
