General Questions
Q, What should I expect at my first session?
A, It is important to list all health concerns and medications so the therapist can adapt the session to your specific needs without doing any harm. It is also important to list any allergies, so the therapist is aware if she needs to use a different oil during the session.
Q, What should I wear?
A, The therapist needs to be able to work on the areas that are troublesome for you, using oils and waxes, and therefore it is recommended that you remove most clothing. Underwear is fine. Parts of the body not being worked on will be covered by the therapist.
