Massage & Wellness FAQ

What type of massage should I book for my first visit?

If your main goal is to relax, Swedish massage is a good place to start. If you’d like more focused work on a specific area, such as tight shoulders, ask about therapeutic or deep tissue massage. Let us know what you’d like to focus on and how much pressure you prefer so we can help you choose.

What’s the difference between Swedish and deep tissue massage?

Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes and kneading for a more relaxing session. Deep tissue massage focuses on deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, making it a more targeted option for areas that feel persistently tight.

Can I request a massage that focuses on my neck, shoulders, or back?

Yes. Our therapeutic massage sessions are tailored to your needs. Let us know where you feel tension, what you’d like us to focus on, and what level of pressure feels comfortable.

What happens during a Yoga Thai massage?

Yoga Thai massage combines assisted stretches, yoga-inspired movements, and pressure applied to specific points. If you prefer a session that involves more movement than a traditional Swedish massage, this is an option to explore.

Do I have to be an athlete to book a sports massage?

No. We offer sports massage for athletes and people who exercise regularly. If you run, lift weights, or play recreational sports, you can share what your training looks like and which areas you’d like to focus on during the session.

What is lymphatic drainage massage like?

Lymphatic drainage massage uses gentle movements designed to help move lymph fluid. The pressure is much lighter than deep tissue massage. If you’re considering it after surgery, ask your surgical care team when massage is appropriate for you before scheduling.

Do you offer prenatal massage in Woodbridge, VA?

Yes. We offer pregnancy massage at our Woodbridge wellness center. When you contact us, let us know how far along you are and what you’d like to focus on. Check with your prenatal care provider before booking to make sure massage is appropriate for you.

What’s the difference between hot stone massage and cupping massage?

Hot stone massage combines warmed stones with hands-on massage. Cupping uses cups that create suction on the skin. If you’re deciding between the two, think about whether you’d prefer the warmth of heated stones or want to try a technique that uses suction.

What is AromaTouch therapy?

AromaTouch therapy combines the application of essential oils with gentle touch. It’s an option if you enjoy aromatherapy and prefer a session centered on relaxation.

Do you offer massage memberships or packages?

Yes. We offer memberships for clients who want to book regular massages, with perks such as discounts on products and services. We also offer massage packages featuring techniques such as Swedish, deep tissue, and hot stone massage. You can browse our current options on the Memberships and Packages pages.
