It is completely normal to feel a little unsure before your first spa visit. Knowing what to expect makes it far more relaxing.
Before you arrive
- Book in advance and mention any health conditions, pregnancy or injuries.
- Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before, not right before.
- Arrive 10 minutes early to fill a short form and settle in.
What to wear
Wear anything comfortable. For oil massages you will undress to your comfort level and be fully covered with a sheet; only the area being massaged is uncovered. Disposable undergarments are available. For Thai massage, wear loose clothes.
Choosing a therapist
You can always request a female or male therapist. At our spa, women can always choose a female therapist.
During the massage
- Speak up about pressure. "A bit lighter" or "more on the shoulders" is welcome.
- You do not need to make conversation. Silence is normal.
- If anything feels uncomfortable, say so and the therapist will adjust or stop.
After the massage
Take your time getting up, drink water and avoid rushing straight into traffic if you can. Sit in the lounge for a few minutes.
Which therapy should I start with?
A Swedish massage or Abhyanga is a great first choice. If you only have 30 minutes, try an Indian head massage.
