Anita Moricz
Holistic massage therapist
This is my first time getting a massage, what should I expect?
What I generally recommend, especially for those who may be having a body treatment for the first time, is to try to quiet their thoughts; to be present with themselves, with their breathing, and to shift their focus from the wandering of the mind to their bodily sensations. You don't have to try this convulsively, but it is worth observing during the massage, the caress of the therapist's hands on the skin, the surrounding scents, the temperature of the oil or lava stones, and allowing the sounds and vibrations to take you on an inner journey.
A safe space where you can be yourself.
In the safe space that I offer during my sessions, there is nothing to be ashamed of. It is a natural part of the process that the body and mind react in different ways. I invite you to not suppress them, but to allow yourself to experience these feelings. The deeper you can go during the session, the greater the chance that feelings stored in the body or subconscious can surface. In this space, all feelings are welcome, from giggles to great letting go.
The conversation during the treatment is also based on your preference, but I encourage you to try to calm down after a short conversation so that the treatment can have an effect not only on the physical but also on the mental level. I look forward to your experiences and feedback after the session.
You may feel like you want to "help" me by holding your limbs or head during certain movements as I move, lift, or rock them. This is a perfect opportunity to practice letting go. :) I ask you to just relax your limbs during these movements and give me full weight and control.
Please let us know if you experience any physical discomfort, if you are cold or hot, if you are thirsty, or if you would like to change the strength or dynamics of the massage. This is always possible, because your treatment is all about you.
