Frequently Asked Questions
What massage techniques do you specialise in?
I specialise in a variety of massage techniques to cater to your specific needs. My expertise includes:
Thai Massage: Offering a unique blend of acupressure, stretching, and compression techniques, Thai massage promotes flexibility, relaxation, and energy flow.

Can you describe the benefits of an out-call massage session?
Opting for an out-call massage brings the therapeutic session directly to your chosen space, whether it's your home or preferred location. This creates a familiar and personalised setting, potentially elevating the relaxation experience. The convenience of not having to travel post-massage allows clients to extend the tranquil feeling. Additionally, it grants quick access to amenities in a private, quiet, and peaceful environment, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable massage experience.
How long are your typical massage sessions, and what are the pricing options?
My typical massage sessions are available in three durations: 45 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes. I understand that each individual's needs vary, so my pricing is tailored to the specific services required. Rather than offering fixed packages, I provide a personalised quote based on your unique preferences and requirements. This ensures that you receive a bespoke experience that caters to your specific needs, and my pricing reflects the level of service and attention dedicated to your well-being. I also want to highlight that I provide discounts and benefits for my clients. Feel free to inquire about these offerings when booking your session. Feel free to reach out for a customised quote based on the duration and specific services you desire.
What type of oils do you use, and can customers request specific scents?
I use only high-quality organic oils to enhance the massage experience. Clients are welcome to request specific scents to personalise their session further. I can accommodate these requests, but it's important to note that advance notice is required, and additional charges may be associated with sourcing specific oils. Additionally, I understand that clients may have personal preferences or sensitivities, so I encourage them to bring their own oils if they prefer. This ensures that the massage experience aligns perfectly with their individual preferences. Feel free to communicate any specific requests or bring your preferred oils to your session for a truly tailored experience.
Do you offer regular clients special packages or loyalty programs?
Absolutely, I appreciate my regular clients, and as a gesture of gratitude, I extend special packages and loyalty programs. These exclusive benefits aim to offer added value, ensuring my loyal clients receive exceptional massages and benefit from cost-effective and personalised options. Don't hesitate to ask about these offerings during your next booking; I'm committed to enriching your overall experience and expressing my thanks for your ongoing trust. As a special incentive, you'll receive an additional 45-minute session on the house for every ten sessions.
How far in advance should I book a session?
You can book a session with me up to three months in advance. A small booking fee may be required to secure your preferred slot, especially for advanced bookings. This allows me to accommodate your schedule and ensures that you have the flexibility to plan your massage sessions well in advance. Feel free to contact us to discuss your preferred date and time; I'll be happy to assist you in securing your appointment.
Can you accommodate specific preferences or requests during the massage?
While I aim to adhere to the agreed-upon session plan, I understand that individual preferences may vary. I strive to accommodate specific requests to enhance your overall massage experience. While major deviations may not be possible, I am open to making small adjustments during the session if it contributes to your comfort and satisfaction. Your well-being is my priority, and I’m committed to creating a personalised and enjoyable massage experience based on your preferences. Feel free to communicate any specific requests, and I will do my best to ensure your session aligns with your expectations.
What safety measures do you have in place, especially considering the current health climate?
Ensuring a safe and healthy environment is my top priority. In response to the current health climate, I have implemented several safety measures, including the option to use masks throughout the session. All massage equipment undergoes rigorous sanitisation, and I regularly test and maintain it to meet the highest hygiene standards. I use neutral oils to minimise potential skin sensitivities, creating a safe and comfortable experience. Additionally, I collect and carefully consider allergen information from clients, allowing me to address specific concerns and tailor the massage session accordingly. These safety measures are in place to provide peace of mind, allowing clients to fully enjoy their massage experience while prioritising their health and well-being.
Are your services covered by health insurance, or do you provide receipts for reimbursement?
I can provide a detailed receipt for my services upon request. However, it's important to note that the possibility of reimbursements will depend on the policies and coverage of your health insurance plan. Unfortunately, I won't be able to assist with the reimbursement process, as it varies among different insurance providers. I recommend contacting your health insurance company to inquire about the extent of coverage for my services and the necessary procedures for reimbursement. If you have any specific requirements for the receipt, please let me know, and I will ensure it meets the necessary criteria for submission.
Can you customise the pressure of the massage to suit individual comfort levels?
I acknowledge that individual comfort levels differ and am dedicated to offering each client a personalised and enjoyable experience. I can adjust the massage pressure to align with your specific preferences, whether you prefer a gentle touch for relaxation or a firmer pressure for therapeutic benefits. My priorities are your comfort and satisfaction, and I encourage open communication during the session to ensure the applied pressure perfectly suits your preferences. It's important to note that some discomfort may be experienced during the session, particularly if regular massages are not part of your routine.
Do you have any recommendations for post-massage care or relaxation techniques?
Post-massage care is crucial for prolonging the benefits of your session. After your massage, I recommend staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage. A warm bath with Epsom salts can further enhance relaxation and soothe residual muscle tension. Gentle stretching or yoga can also be beneficial in maintaining flexibility and promoting overall well-being. Additionally, allowing yourself some quiet time to rest and relax after the session is advised to absorb the therapeutic effects fully. Each individual may respond differently, so I encourage you to listen to your body and engage in activities that bring you comfort and tranquillity. If you have specific concerns or conditions, feel free to discuss them with me for personalised post-massage care recommendations.
Are there any specific health conditions or circumstances that may affect eligibility for your services?
Your safety and well-being are my top priorities. Prior to booking your massage session, kindly share any existing health conditions, injuries, or concerns with me. This information is crucial for tailoring the experience to your needs and ensuring the massage is both safe and effective. While I strive to accommodate various health conditions, it's essential to communicate any specific circumstances to enhance the overall quality of your session. If you've recently undergone surgery, experienced a heart attack, or had a stroke, it's not advisable to engage in a massage session, and regrettably, I may not be able to provide my services in such cases.
What areas do you typically serve for out-call services, and is there an additional fee for travel?
My out-call massage services extend across the entire Hervey Bay region. While I’m delighted to offer my services in Maryborough, please be aware that there may be an additional travel fee associated with this location. This fee will be included transparently in the personalised quote provided, allowing you to evaluate and plan accordingly. I strive to make my services accessible and convenient, and appreciate your understanding of any additional considerations related to travel outside the Hervey Bay region. If you have any specific questions about the travel fee or my service areas, feel free to reach out, and I'll be happy to provide further details.
Can you explain the process for booking a massage session, including cancellation policies?
Certainly, the process for booking a massage session is straightforward. Please contact us using the provided phone number, and we kindly request that you prefer text messages for ease of communication. When reaching out, provide details such as your preferred date, time, and any specific preferences you may have for the session. As for my cancellation policy, we appreciate at least a 24-hour notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This allows us to accommodate other clients and manage my schedule effectively. I understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and we aim to be flexible while ensuring a fair policy for both parties. If you have any concerns or need further clarification, please feel free to discuss them with us during the booking process. I look forward to providing you with a seamless and enjoyable massage experience.
How discreet is your service for clients who prefer privacy and confidentiality?
I strongly emphasise the privacy and confidentiality of my clients. I understand and respect the sensitive nature of my work and prioritise creating a discreet environment that values your privacy. My commitment to confidentiality extends to all aspects of my service, from booking to the actual massage session. Rest assured that your personal information, preferences, and the details of your massage experience are handled with the highest level of discretion. I take pride in providing a secure and confidential space for my clients, allowing them to fully relax and enjoy the benefits of their massage with peace of mind.
What is the attire for clients during a massage session, and how do you ensure modesty and comfort?
Clients are encouraged to undress to their level of comfort for the massage session. While some prefer to be fully undressed, others choose to leave underwear on. Rest assured, you will be appropriately draped throughout the massage, ensuring your modesty is maintained at all times. For Thai massage, wearing a loose-fitting top and shorts is recommended for stretching techniques. However, for automatic or blended massages, some undressing may be necessary for effective techniques. Your comfort is key; if you're not comfortable undressing, please let me know, and I'll adjust accordingly. Creating a secure and comfortable environment is my priority, and I encourage you to discuss any attire preferences or concerns before the session begins, ensuring your comfort and modesty are prioritised.
Are there any age restrictions for clients seeking your massage services?
Yes, my massage services are exclusively available to clients who are 18 years of age and older.
What is the recommended frequency for massage sessions to achieve optimal benefits?
The recommended frequency for massage sessions to achieve optimal benefits can vary based on individual needs, goals, and health conditions. A regular schedule of massages, such as once a month, can contribute to overall well-being and stress reduction. However, more frequent sessions may be recommended for individuals dealing with specific issues or seeking therapeutic benefits, such as bi-weekly or weekly.
Communicating with your massage therapist is crucial to establishing a tailored plan that aligns with your health goals. Factors like stress levels, physical activity, and any specific concerns you may have will influence the suggested frequency of sessions. Regular communication with your therapist allows for adjustments to the frequency based on your evolving needs and ensures that you experience the maximum benefits of massage therapy.
Are there any specific preparations or considerations clients should keep in mind before a massage?
It's advisable to allocate a quiet and comfortable space where the massage can take place in your home. Clearing the area of any clutter and creating a relaxing ambience with dim lighting and soothing music can enhance the overall atmosphere. Ensure that you have fresh towels available for use during the session. Additionally, it's recommended to avoid heavy meals or alcohol consumption immediately before the massage to allow for optimal comfort. Communication with the masseuse regarding specific preferences, areas of focus, or health concerns is essential to tailor the session to your needs. Lastly, wearing loose and comfortable clothing, especially for Thai massage, can contribute to the effectiveness of the techniques. These preparations will help create an ideal environment for your out-call massage session, ensuring a tranquil and rejuvenating experience within the comfort of your own space.
How do you handle clients with allergies or sensitivities to certain massage oils or scents?
I take the utmost care to accommodate clients with allergies or sensitivities to massage oils or scents. Before the session, I inquire about any specific allergies or sensitivities you may have. My selection of massage oils is diverse, and I offer fragrance-free options to cater to those with sensitivities. If you have a preferred oil or need a specific alternative, please communicate this information during the booking process or before the session begins. Your well-being is my priority, and I’m committed to creating a safe and comfortable environment by adapting my products to suit your individual needs.
What measures do you take to ensure a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere during the session?
I take several measures to create a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere during the massage session. Firstly, I create a serene environment with soft lighting and calming music to promote relaxation. My massage table and accessories are carefully selected for comfort and support. Communication is key, and I encourage clients to express their preferences regarding room temperature, lighting, and music volume. Additionally, I use neutral oils to enhance comfort and minimise skin sensitivities. I’m attentive to your needs, ensuring a tranquil atmosphere that allows you to unwind and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of the massage fully. If you have any specific requests or preferences, feel free to communicate them, and I will try and make every effort to accommodate them for your optimal comfort.
Can clients request focus on specific areas of concern, such as back pain or tension headaches?
Certainly, clients are encouraged to communicate any specific areas of concern or discomfort before the massage session begins. Whether it's addressing back pain, tension headaches, or any other specific issues, my skilled masseuses are trained to tailor the massage to target and alleviate these specific areas. By discussing your concerns and preferences at the beginning of the session, we can adjust the focus and intensity of the massage to provide relief to the areas that need it most. My priorities are your comfort and well-being, and I’m dedicated to creating a customised massage experience that addresses your needs and concerns.
How do you handle confidentiality and privacy, especially for high-profile clients?
Confidentiality and privacy are of paramount importance, particularly for high-profile clients. I take extensive measures to uphold the utmost discretion and protect the privacy of all my clients. Our booking processes and client records are securely managed, and my professional staff is committed to maintaining strict confidentiality. Additionally, any specific requests regarding privacy concerns are treated with the highest level of sensitivity. For some clients, an additional layer of assurance may be needed, and if there is a requirement for a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), I’m happy to accommodate and sign it, further ensuring the confidential nature of my services. Rest assured, I prioritise the well-being and privacy of all my clients, regardless of their profile or background.
Do you offer any post-natal or pregnancy massage services, and are there any contraindications?
Yes, I do offer post-natal and pregnancy massage services. I provide safe and soothing massages tailored specifically for expectant or postpartum mothers. However, informing me of your pregnancy or post-natal status during the booking process or before the session begins is crucial. While pregnancy massages can be highly beneficial, there are certain contraindications, particularly during the first trimester or if there are any high-risk pregnancy conditions. By communicating openly about your pregnancy and any related concerns, I can adapt the massage to ensure safety and provide a comfortable experience that addresses your specific needs during this special time.
Can clients choose the music or ambience during the massage, or do you have preset options?
Absolutely, I understand the importance of creating a personalised and enjoyable atmosphere for my clients. You are more than welcome to choose the music or set the ambience during your massage session. Whether you have specific preferences for calming sounds, nature sounds, or even your own playlist, we aim to accommodate your choices to enhance your overall relaxation experience. Alternatively, if you prefer not to make a selection, we have preset options designed to create a serene ambience. Your comfort and satisfaction are my priorities, and we encourage you to communicate your preferences so that we can tailor the music and ambience to your liking.
Are you familiar with or specialise in any particular massage techniques for stress relief or anxiety?
Absolutely, I have a solid understanding of anxiety, stemming from my extensive experience in the mental health industry. While I don't claim to specialise in any particular massage technique for stress relief or anxiety, my diverse knowledge allows me to tailor sessions to your specific needs. I aim to create a calming and supportive environment during the massage, helping to alleviate stress and promote relaxation. If you have specific preferences or concerns related to stress relief or anxiety, feel free to discuss them with me, and together we can determine the most suitable approach for your well-being.
Do you recommend any specific exercises or stretches for clients between sessions?
Absolutely, I often recommend specific exercises or stretches for clients between sessions to enhance the benefits of the massage. These may vary based on your individual needs and any specific concerns we've addressed during the session. Regular stretching, gentle exercises, and self-care practices can contribute to maintaining flexibility, reducing muscle tension, and supporting overall well-being. If you're interested, I can provide personalised recommendations tailored to your unique circumstances to optimise the positive effects of our sessions.
What is your policy regarding late arrivals, and how does it impact the duration of the session?
My policy on late arrivals aims to maintain fairness and respect for everyone's time. If I arrive 15 minutes or more late, I'll extend your session by an additional 15 minutes at no extra charge and provide a 10% discount for your next booking as a gesture of appreciation. Conversely, if you arrive late for the session, I'll deduct that time from the overall duration to uphold scheduling commitments. Effective communication about timing ensures a smooth and considerate experience for both parties.
Can you provide guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle to complement the benefits of massage?
Certainly, I offer massage services and guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle to complement the benefits of the massages. I can tailor a custom well-being package for you, incorporating advice on nutrition, exercise, and relaxation techniques that align with your individual goals. While my massage sessions contribute to your overall wellness, a personalised well-being package can further enhance and sustain the positive effects. If you're interested in creating a plan to support your health journey, I offer this service for additional charges. Feel free to discuss your preferences and goals, and I will work with you to design a comprehensive well-being package tailored to your needs.
Can clients request a combination of massage styles within a single session to address different needs?
Absolutely, clients are welcome to request a combination of massage styles within a single session to address different needs. I understand that individual preferences and requirements may vary, and we strive to provide a tailored and comprehensive experience. Before booking the session, I encourage clients to communicate their preferences and concerns. By discussing your needs beforehand, I can ensure that I’m prepared to incorporate a blend of massage styles that will best address your unique requirements, providing a truly customised and satisfying experience.
What is your approach to ensuring a relaxing transition for clients before and after the massage?
Ensuring a seamless and relaxing transition for my clients before and after the massage is a key aspect of my service. Before the session begins, I create a tranquil atmosphere, soothing music, and a comfortable environment at your chosen location. This sets the stage for a calming experience, and I also take the time to understand your preferences and any specific concerns you may have, fostering open communication and ensuring a personalised approach to the massage. After the session, I provide a moment for you to reorient and slowly return to your surroundings. I offer post-massage care recommendations and am available to answer any questions or address any concerns you may have. By prioritising a relaxing atmosphere before and after the massage, I aim to enhance the overall well-being benefits of the session and leave you feeling rejuvenated and at ease.
Do you provide your services to persons with disabilities?
Certainly, I'm dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities, and I strive for diversity and inclusion. Your unique needs are important to me, and I'm here to create an inclusive and welcoming environment tailored to your comfort. Please feel free to share any specific accommodations or preferences; I’ll ensure your massage experience is enjoyable and supportive.
Can you provide information on any add-on services, such as hot stone therapy or aromatherapy, and their benefits?
Certainly, I offer additional services, such as hot stone therapy and aromatherapy, to enhance your massage experience. Hot stone therapy involves the use of heated stones placed on specific points of the body, promoting relaxation, improved circulation, and easing muscle tension. Aromatherapy, on the other hand, incorporates the use of essential oils to stimulate the senses and enhance the overall therapeutic effects of the massage. The benefits of these add-on services include heightened relaxation, stress reduction, and potential relief from specific conditions. Please inquire if you're interested in incorporating hot stone therapy, aromatherapy, or any other additional service into your massage session. I can provide detailed information, discuss the specific benefits, and tailor the session to meet your preferences. Your satisfaction and well-being are my priorities, and I’m here to create a fully customised and enjoyable massage experience for you.
