Book in advance
Most wellness centers don’t accept walk-ins. Book your appointment beforehand and be sure to let the receptionist know if you are pregnant, have any special needs, allergies or medical conditions. By offering this information ahead of time, the wellness center will be fully prepared to accommodate you upon your arrival.
Request a male or female therapist upon booking
If you’re booking a hands-on treatment such as a massage, body wrap, or scrub, be sure to request a therapist based on your comfort level.
Do I have to take my clothes off?
Most massages you take off everything except your undergarments, we use full linens, you’re always covered and your privacy is always protected.
Do you use oils?
We use all natural Shea Butter for massage. We also sell all natural holistic bath and body products.
Know the wellness center cancellation policy
Most wellness center have a 24-hour cancellation policy, but find out just in case. If you violate their policy, the wellness center is legally permissible to charge you for a partial or full amount of the treatment
Arrive at the Wellness center 15 minutes early
For many, a wellness center visit is the ticket for a bit of R&R. Arrive at the wellness center earlier than the time of your appointment so you can unwind and clear your mind before beginning your treatment. This also includes the time for you to fill out your medial assessment forms.
Wear casual attire
If you’re coming from the office, bring casual clothes to wear after your treatment. You may walk in feeling stiff and stressed, but you’ll leave feeling refreshed and revitalized, so bring something comfortable to wear.
Wear little jewelry as possible
Most wellness center will not accept responsibility for items that are lost or stolen, so leave all unnecessary valuables at home. Know that even a locker with a padlock is not a guarantee against theft.
Speak up
Is the pressure ok? Is the water too hot or cold? Are you comfortable? Remember, your therapist doesn’t know your comfort level. If there is anything they can do to make your experience more pleasurable, don’t be afraid to let them know.
Limit consumption of food
Try not to eat for at least an hour before the treatment
Avoid consumption of alcohol on the day of treatment
Alcohol consumption and wellness center treatments are similar in one aspect: the dehydration Factor. Avoid any alcoholic beverages if you are planning a trip to the wellness center, massage is also detoxing your body.
Drink plenty of water
A wellness center treatment often releases toxins from the body, so be sure to drink plenty of water before and after your treatment to keep yourself properly hydrated. This also comes into play if you plan on using wellness center facilities such as a steam room, sauna, or whirlpool.
Turn off cell phones at the wellness center
As a common courtesy to other guests at the wellness center, please do not speak on your cell phone and turn off any mobile devices during your visit
Tax and gratuity is not included
Standard gratuity is 15-20% of the ORIGINAL wellness center treatment cost. Even though the wellness center is giving customers a discounted treatment, your therapist is still doing the same amount of work. If you are unsure of the original price of the treatment, don’t be afraid to ask. While you are not required to tip, it is common courtesy and a great way to show your therapist that they did an exceptional job.
