Most people booking for the first time arrive with the same mix: curiosity and a bit of embarrassment at not knowing what is coming. This is the full shape of a session, with no mystery, so you arrive knowing exactly what you are walking into.
It all starts in writing, usually on WhatsApp. You agree what the session includes, what it does not and how far it goes, plus the duration and the final price with travel if there is any. That conversation is not a formality: it is the part that lets you relax later, because you arrive with no open questions.
The session does not start with massage. It starts sitting down, talking for a moment, and then with breathing and very slow contact. It usually lasts ten to twenty minutes and plenty of people think nothing is happening. The most important thing is happening: the body is learning it is allowed to let go. Without that part, the rest stays on the surface.
From there the work runs in long continuous strokes, with warmed oil, treating the whole body rather than isolated areas. The pace adjusts to what comes up, and at any point you can say something is not working and it changes. There is nothing to endure and nothing to justify.
The last minutes are rest, in silence, with no contact or very light contact. Coming out of that state abruptly leaves the work half done, so the session gets closed rather than cut. Afterwards there is time to sit up slowly, shower if you want, and have something to drink.
The most common report is a mix of drowsiness and clarity, like after sleeping very well. Some people notice it most the following day. It helps not to schedule a meeting or a dinner straight after: if you can leave the following hour free, the benefit lasts considerably longer.
It is discussed beforehand and you decide. A towel is always used, and whatever you do not want touched is not touched. That agreement is made in writing before the session.
It is the most common thing there is and you do not need to hide it. Say so on arrival — it actually helps, because the pace of the first minutes can be adjusted.
The session length plus half an hour. For 90 minutes, allow around two hours: that covers the conversation, the session and the settling afterwards.
