Your Questions, Answered

At Andromeda Massage & Face, we want every client to feel informed, comfortable, and confident before their session. Whether it’s your first massage or you’re a regular client exploring new treatments, we’re here to help you understand what to expect. Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions about our services, session experience, and wellness benefits—so you can relax knowing you’re in good hands.

? Where will my massage or bodywork session take place?

Your session will take place in a warm, quiet, and comfortable room designed for relaxation. You’ll lie on a specially padded table, and we may play soft music to help you unwind.

? Do I need to be completely undressed?

You should undress only to the level at which you feel comfortable. We’ll always use proper draping, so only the area being worked on is exposed.

? Will the practitioner stay in the room while I undress?

No—the practitioner will step out to give you privacy while you undress, get settled on the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet or towel.

? How does the draping work during a session?

We keep you properly draped at all times, ensuring warmth and modesty. Only the area being treated will be uncovered.

? Which parts of my body will be massaged?

In a full-body session, we typically work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. We can also customize based on your needs.

? What will the massage or bodywork feel like?

We often begin with broad, gentle strokes to help your body relax. Gradually, the pressure may increase to address specific areas of tension. A light oil or lotion is generally used to reduce skin friction and hydrate your skin. If anything feels uncomfortable, tell us immediately so we can adjust.

? Are there different types of massage and bodywork?

Yes. We offer various techniques that may incorporate strokes, rocking, targeted pressure points, and movement education. We’ll talk with you beforehand to determine which methods best suit you.

? What should I do during my session?

Before the session starts, feel free to ask questions about the process or techniques. During the session, relax as much as possible. If you need adjustments—like pressure changes, repositioning, or extra support—just let the practitioner know.

? How will I feel afterward?

Many clients feel deeply relaxed, with greater flexibility and relief from tension. Some experience a temporary sluggish feeling, followed by a boost in energy, enhanced awareness, and improved focus that can last several days.

? What are the benefits of massage and bodywork?

Massage can help:

  • Release chronic muscle tension and pain
  • Improve circulation and joint flexibility
  • Reduce physical and mental stress and fatigue
  • Promote healing in damaged muscle tissue
  • Enhance posture and lower blood pressure
  • Improve sleep, concentration, and overall well-being
? Are there conditions where massage is not recommended?

Yes. Before your session, we’ll ask about your medical history, health conditions, medications, or recent surgeries. If you’re under a doctor’s care, we may ask you to get written clearance before booking. Always inform us of anything relevant, so we can ensure safe, effective care.
