Is Massage Always Appropriate?
Massage for relaxation is almost always helpful. However, there are certain conditions for which massage is not appropriate. Please inform me of any medical condition you may have, even minor ones. Some conditions require communication between me and your doctor or healing practitioner.
I pulled a muscle yesterday. Should I get a massage?
It’s not recommended to receive a massage in the very early stages of sprains and strains when swelling, heat, and tenderness are present. After a few days, massage can aid in recovery.
How does Reconnective Healing compare to other energy healing methods?
Reconnective Healing works directly with the core electromagnetic connections of the body. It often achieves faster results with fewer sessions compared to other methods, as it addresses the origin of issues rather than peeling layers from surface to core.
Questions about Heavenly Embrace
What to expect during a Massage Session?
Your session will be in a comfortable, clean, and peaceful environment with soft, relaxing music. You will fill out a confidential medical history form. If under a doctor’s care, a written recommendation is advised.
Gentle stretches (Dry Moves) will prepare your body, followed by massage with a light oil/cream/gel. Pressure, temperature, and comfort will be checked throughout.
Will I be covered during the Session?
You will be properly draped at all times. Only the areas being worked on will be exposed.
Must I completely undress?
Most massage techniques are performed unclothed, but you may choose how much clothing to wear. I can work around or through clothing for your comfort.
What parts of my body will be massaged?
We discuss your desired outcome beforehand. A typical Full Body Massage includes back, legs, arms, feet, hands, neck, and shoulders. Genitals and female breasts are not massaged.
What am I supposed to do during the massage?
Focus on relaxing and letting go. Deep, natural breaths help you relax. Conversation is optional. Ask questions if needed.
How long will the session last?
Full Body Sessions are usually 1 hour; many clients prefer 90 minutes for optimal relaxation.
Do I have to receive a full body treatment?
No, sessions can be tailored to specific areas. By sharing sore or painful areas, I can focus on releasing those muscles. Deep, slow breathing helps relax tight muscles and reduce stress.
How Will I Feel After the Massage or Energy Session?
Most people feel relaxed. Some experience relief from long-term aches and tension. Hydrate afterward to help your body remove metabolic waste like lactic acid.
