Quick answer
At your first massage you will have a short chat about what you want and any health needs, undress to your comfort level in private, and lie under a towel with only the area being worked uncovered. You stay in control of the pressure and everything else throughout.
If you have never had a massage before, the nervous part is usually the not-knowing. So here is exactly what happens, from the moment you book to the moment you leave, with nothing left vague.
This is a women-only studio in a quiet log cabin, run by one person, me. There is no busy reception, no rush, and no part of this where you are expected to already know what you are doing. Guiding you through it is my job.
Before you arrive
You book online and get a confirmation with the details. Wear something comfortable, eat lightly rather than arriving very full or very hungry, and give yourself a few minutes spare so you are not rushing in flustered.
The studio is a log cabin with parking, reached through a green gate, and the confirmation tells you exactly where to come. Appointments run Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday 10am to 4pm.
The short chat first
We start with a brief, friendly chat. I ask a few health questions, what you are hoping to get from the session, how much pressure you like, and whether there is anywhere you would rather I avoided. It takes a few minutes and it is completely confidential.
This is not a test, and there are no wrong answers. It is simply how I make the treatment safe and tailored to you rather than generic.
Undressing and getting on the table
You undress to your own comfort level in private, with me out of the room, and get onto the table under a towel. Most women keep their underwear on. You are covered the whole time, and only the area being worked on, a leg, an arm, your back, is uncovered, then re-covered before we move on.
The room is kept warm, the lighting low, and you are never left exposed. If at any point you feel a draught or want more covering, you just say so.
You undress only to your comfort level, and you stay covered the whole time. Nothing about this should feel exposing.
You are in control the whole time
This is your hour. You can ask for more or less pressure, say if you are too warm or too cold, change your mind about an area, or ask to stop at any point. None of it is rude or awkward.
You can also choose quiet or conversation. Some women chat the whole way through, others close their eyes and say nothing. Both are completely normal.
Afterwards
When the treatment ends I leave the room so you can dress in private, and you take your time getting up, slowly, as you may feel deeply relaxed. It is normal to feel a little tender the next day after firmer work, and a glass of water helps.
Payment is in person, by cash or card, as there is no online payment. If you would like to come back you can rebook then or later, with no pressure to commit to anything on the day.
Why women-only matters here
This studio is for women only, and that is a deliberate, literal policy rather than a marketing line. For a lot of women it is the reason they finally felt able to book a massage at all.
It means a space where you do not have to weigh anything up or explain yourself, just arrive, relax, and be looked after. If nerves have held you back before, this is built to take them away.
