If you are taking medication or have a specific condition that you are concerned about, you should inform me before your massage. I can not give you any medical advice, and clearly you do not want to aggravate an underlying medical condition or pass anything contagious to the therapist. If you have a serious or chronic medical condition, including but not limited to cancer, cardiovascular conditions or heart disease, thrombosis, phlebitis, edema, fractures, severe acute back pain, fever infections or contagious diseases, or you have concerns of any kind, always check with your doctor before proceeding with a massage session.

During massage, pressure should not be applied under or over varicose veins or directly over infected skin or bruises. Massage on abdomen, legs and feet is best avoided during the first three months of pregnancy when the risk of miscarriage is highest; always check with your doctor if you are pregnant. Massage should not be performed on any injury while it is in the acute stage—at least for the first 48 to 72 hours. Additionally, as long as an injury is swollen, it is probably better not to massage it. However, massage around the injury site can increase circulation to the area and speed healing time. I will work with your doctor and/or physical therapist to determine a strategic plan for rehabilitative massage to speed your recovery.

My commitment to you is to help you face your day and week with a sense of well being, relaxation, and serenity. And as a respect to me and to you, I recommend that before you come to your session you should take a quick shower. Cleanliness is what you expect from me and I expect from you. Also it is much better and easier to work in a clean environment.

Breathe deeply and regularly. The more you breathe, the more likely you are to reap the benefits of massage. Try not to engage in conversation. Talking, except for communicating with me about pressure, boundaries, etc. can distract you. You are more than welcome to ask me not to talk to you as well. Take occasional sips of water. During the massage you will release toxins into your bloodstream. This could be a little disagreeable a few hours after the massage. Drinking water will flush the toxins out of your system. If you have special needs or expectations, make sure you clearly communicate them to me.

During the FIRST massage session only the client and the masseur (which is me) will be in the room. This is for my security. After I get to know you, during subsequent sessions, a companion of the client can be present in the room for watching.

If you're concerned for the security of your girlfriend, you're welcome to have a chat with me before the massage session, either in a coffee shop or in the hotel lobby or even inside the room before the massage session begins.

I only talk to the woman taking the massage. Please provide a number for me to speak to her directly. If a man answers my phone call, I disconnect and don't call that number again. Sorry if that sounds rude, but I have to do that because the internet has too many pranksters and men who insist on hiring me even though I do not accept male clients. If your wife or girlfriend is not confident enough to talk to me directly, I humbly suggest you do not hire me.

I regret as of I do not. But will try that sooner.
