It’s completely normal to feel a bit self-conscious before your first massage. Many people worry about their appearance, body imperfections, or simply the unfamiliarity of the experience. At Oasis, we strive to make every client feel comfortable and at ease. Here are some tips to help you relax and fully enjoy your massage:
1. Remember: Therapists Are Professionals
- Massage therapists are trained professionals who focus on your well-being, not your body’s perceived imperfections.
- They’ve likely seen it all and are focused solely on helping you feel better.
2. Communicate Your Concerns
- If you’re nervous about a specific aspect of the massage, let your therapist know.
- Open communication allows them to address your concerns and tailor the session to your comfort.
3. Choose Comfortable Attire
- Many massages are performed with clients undressed to their level of comfort, and you’ll always be covered with a sheet or towel during the session.
- If you’re more comfortable staying partially clothed, that’s perfectly fine—just let your therapist know.
4. Focus on the Benefits
- Remind yourself why you’re getting the massage: relaxation, pain relief, or stress reduction.
- Shifting your mindset to the positive outcomes can help ease anxiety.
5. Understand Massage Etiquette
- Massage therapists will always respect your boundaries and personal space.
- You’re encouraged to give feedback during the session, whether it’s about pressure or your comfort level.
6. Take Deep Breaths
- Breathing deeply can help calm nerves and promote relaxation.
- Concentrating on your breath can shift your focus away from self-conscious thoughts.
7. Familiarize Yourself with the Process
- Researching what to expect during a massage can help you feel more prepared and reduce uncertainty.
- At Oasis, we’re happy to answer any questions before your appointment to help you feel at ease.
