Strengthen Yourself Natural Care

CAN I HAVE A MASSAGE IF I'M PREGNANT?

The answer is yes. Strengthen Yourself has both options for side-lying or lying prone depending on the condition of individuals during their pregnancy.

If you have never had a massage before, we recommend that you wait until your second trimester. 

Feel free to discuss if you have any questions or concerns at any time.

DO I HAVE TO BE FULLY UNDRESSED?

Your therapist will leave the room while you get ready for your session.

Massage is best performed when you are fully undressed. You will be draped under a sheet & blanket uncovering each area while being massaged. However, you may dress down to your own comfort level.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT TYPE OF MASSAGE THAT I NEED?

We can discuss this at the time of your appointment. Your therapist will also ask you questions. Always let your therapist know what kind of pressure you would like before a session. They will check in to make sure your comfortable as far as pressure, temperature table, etc…

IS IT NORMAL TO BECOME EMOTIONAL?

Through massage therapy, it is common to experience a range of emotions. Just remember you are in a safe place. Once again, these sessions are about you and only you so take the time needed and just BE.

DO PEOPLE FALL ASLEEP?

This is your time from start to finish so if you would like to sleep feel free if you would like to talk that is acceptable as well. Some people are more comfortable talking and others prefer silence, either way is the right way.
