Draping for Massage

Draping is an important part of every massage session. It provides warmth, comfort, and a sense of security, allowing you to fully relax. Draping also establishes clear boundaries so that your session remains safe and professional at all times.

“What if I don’t want to be draped?”

In Texas, massage therapists are now required by state law to use draping. This means you must be covered with a sheet, towel, or wear undergarments during your session. The State of Texas also requires massage establishments to provide a clear statement about draping on all client intake forms.

How I Provide Draping

Your comfort always comes first. I provide a clean sheet that will cover you throughout your massage. If you prefer, I can use towel draping, and you are always welcome to wear shorts or undergarments. No matter what, all private areas will remain covered.

If your first inquiry is focused solely on draping rather than my services or expertise, and you have not reviewed my posted draping policy, I will not book you for an appointment. This policy is firm and ensures professionalism, comfort, and safety for both client and therapist.

Massage is a professional service, and any inappropriate behavior will result in the immediate termination of the session.
