Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your visit.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes. We recommend booking in advance, especially for evenings and weekends. You can book online 24/7, and if you don’t see a time that works, give us a call—we may have additional availability.
How do I choose the right massage?
Don’t worry if you’re unsure. Let your therapist know your goals, and we’ll tailor your massage to your needs.
Can I request a specific therapist?
Absolutely. You can choose your preferred therapist when booking online or by calling us.
Do you offer couples massages?
Yes! We have a dedicated couples room so you can relax together. Learn more about our couples massage options. Advance booking is recommended.
Do you accept HSA/FSA cards?
Many HSA and FSA cards work through our payment system, but not all plans or cards are eligible. We recommend checking with your HSA/FSA provider if you’re unsure, or bringing another form of payment just in case.
What should I wear?
Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. Most massage clients undress to their comfort level, as less clothing allows your therapist to work more effectively. You’ll always be professionally draped, and only the area being treated will be uncovered.
