Have you ever wondered how it feels to get a body massage? I am sure that quite a few of your friends and acquaintances have tried it out and have nothing but good things to say about it. I am also sure that there is a part of you that wants to try it for yourself, even if you are conscious about your body and have reservations about other people touching you.

For self-conscious people, we strongly recommend the hot stone massage. During most of the session, it would be the stones which will be doing most of the work, relaxing your body and releasing tension from your muscles and you will receive only minimal skin contact from the therapist.

With a growing popularity of this type of body massage, it is time that you try it for yourself. However, there are a few things which you need to do for your first hot stone massage therapy.

  1. Select an appropriate location. A local day spa such as Mary Anne Beauty is a fantastic place for first-timers since everything is already set up for you. We offer beautiful premises where you can relax and extremely professional staff who will help you get over your anxieties.
  2. Schedule your appointment on free days. A weekend or a weekday free from work and other plans is ideal as it will allow you time to properly relax before and after a massage session.
  3. Dress comfortably. Avoid wearing many layers of clothing when visiting us for your session. Even though a hot stone therapy session will require you to remove your clothes, however you will still be appropriately covered by blanket or towel during the session, exposing only part of the body which is being treated at the time.
  4. If you have long hair, please tie them up into to a ponytail so that your hair do not get in the way when our therapist works on your upper body.
  5. We also recommended you to not wear any jewelry as you will be asked to remove it before your massage session.
  6. Arrive on time. You need sufficient time to relax before your massage therapy session.
  7. Notify your therapist any likes and dislikes that you may have. If you like brighter room lights, or the perfume of the therapy room makes you feel dizzy, or you prefer a different type of ambient music, do not hesitate to tell your therapist. Effective communication with your therapist is important in having a great massage experience.
  8. A handy tip is to drink plenty of water before your massage session as it helps to further relax and to flush out bad toxins from your body.
  9. Avoid having a heavy meal near your scheduled appointment time. We recommend that you should have had a meal at least two hours before your session.
  10. Stretch out. Loosen those tightened muscles and let your mind relax and take you to a peaceful place where you have nothing to worry about and your stressful daily chores do not exist.

Once you’ve experienced how relaxing and blissful your hot stone therapy session is, we are confident that you will definitely look forward to your next.
