Welcome to Healing Hands Of Estacio, where you’ll be able to experience a calming, soothing and most importantly, a peaceful healing massage of a lifetime. Here’s what you can expect from your first session:

 

STEP 1:

 

Once you arrive at Healing Hands Of Estacio, you will be greeted and asked to fill out a Patient Intake and wellness form, as well as read and sign off on the company policies.  Please enjoy  a complimentary hot beverage of your choice, made fresh,  while you file out the required  forms in front of a, inviting fireplace. The wellness chart stores all your personal and medical history, as well as past/present injuries and other physical conditions we should be made aware of. Once the chart is complete, we will then discuss the reason(s) you are coming in for a massage, as well as your current physical condition, and any areas of concern in which you are experiencing any discomfort and or pain that you would like for me to focus on during your massage session.

 

Note: Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment, thus to have ample time to fill out the necessary paperwork to relax and enjoy our warm, delicious beverages.

 

STEP 2:

 

I will then take you to a warm, tranquil treatment room, where a warm table dressed in warm inviting sheets awaits you. Please take advantage of our warm heated pad, placed underneath the sheets, which I can adjust the heat to your desired temperature. A clothing rack and chair are provided for you to place you personal belongings. You will then be left alone and be given 100% privacy as you disrobe to your level of comfort. It is extremely important to feel comfortable and relaxed during your session, so if your level of comfort requires you to remain partially robed as you receive your massage, then a hospital gown will be provided for you that opens in the back. Some clients prefer to be completely disrobed, while others prefer to remain partially clothed. Both options are fine.  Once you have disrobed, you will then lie on the massage table, under the top sheets.  During your session, you will always remained fully draped, except for the area in which I am working on, to ensure that your modesty and privacy are respected at all times during your session. The room will have relaxing music playing, unless you request some other type of music of your choice, or just peaceful quietness.  There will be no outside distractions during your session, and are requested prior to your massage that you set your cell phone on silent, to ensure maximum relaxation.

 

Note: Some clients enjoy talking during a massage, while others prefer to relax without any conversation.  Please feel free to do what feels most comfortable for you.

 

STEP3 :

 

Prior to starting your massage, I will ask you to please inform me, at any time during your session, if you experience any discomfort with a technique or stroke that I used. Depending on your request, I will either be doing a customized full-body massage or focus on a specific part of the body that you have requested for me to work on.  You will have a choice of either receiving your massage with oils or lotions, please advise which you would prefer for me to use on you.

 

Note: This is your personal, customized massage. Please advise how your pressure is, as well as the room temperature, lighting, etc. Don’t be shy, talk to me. I am here for you, to ensure and make this as comfortable and relaxing as possible.

 

STEP 4:

 

Once your session has been completed, I will then leave the room to give you 100% privacy as you re-redress. Some clients have required assistance getting up from the table, and I am most welcome to assist you if you need. Once you’ve re-dressed, we will discuss how your session went, and discuss any future sessions as well as wellness exercises/stretches that may be of help to you that you will be able to complete in the comfort of your home. You will also be given refreshing water to drink, prior to you leaving, to assist your body in flushing out the toxins that were released during your massage session. It is important that you drink the water prior to leaving.

​

Afterwards.........You can expect to feel relaxed and calm after a massage. After some, you may feel a little achy, after others so relaxed that you are a bit vague or sleepy. On the other hand, some massages will leave you feeling really energized

 

Note: Water flushes out the minerals that were released during your massage while rehydrating your muscles and reducing potential soreness.

 

A humble note from me :

 

I look forward to seeing you for your first visit. If you have any questions about receiving a massage, or what to expect from a massage, please feel free to ask me or you can call me if you prefer, prior to your session.
