Posted on: August 25, 2014
A massage is one of the most relaxing purchases you can make for you body. Everything about a massage should be calculated to deliver the most relaxation as possible. One aspect of this effort that is often overlooked is creating a proper environment for your client. Consider the items below to improve in this important area and understand why.
Lighting
The lighting for a client's massage therapy should not be overpowering. Fluorescent lights should never be present. Other overhead lights are often just as intrusive. Lamps are a versatile option to solve lighting problems. You should invest in lamps with dimmer switches to adjust the lighting as needed. Candles can also be utilized, but you should be careful to not send an erotic message to your client by lighting them. Ideal lighting will help your client feel insulated from outside concerns.
Decor
The decor of the massage room for your client should be neutral. Resist the temptation to put your personal objects in the area. Otherwise, the room will feel private to the client and make them feel they are intruding. Your decorations should include subtle plants, a few decorative objects, and perhaps a few pieces of neutral art.
Materials
All of the materials for your client's massage therapy should be set out ahead of time. This includes towels, hot stones, essential oils, and other materials. Leaving the room for materials during the middle of a massage sends a message of inconvenience to the client. Your preparation will make the client feel he or she is valued as a customer. Providing a relaxing environment for your client's massage is critical for a successful experience. Appropriate lighting, decor, and preparation will allow your client to relax. Their relaxation will make your client enjoy their massage more, but it will also allow you to perform your art more effectively by having an already relaxed body to massage.
