I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH A MASSAGE THERAPIST IN MY HOME?

It can be done wherever you feel the most comfortable. It can be arranged to be done out of my house or at an establishment or even a race.
Massage is not restricted due to the fact that all that is needed is my hands, a massage table and knowledge. The setting is interchangeable.

Massage can be done fully clothed with the same effectivness, however flow, efficiency and palpation are reduced.
Getting a massage is different with everybody and it is very important if not the most important that the client be as relaxed as possible

THE LAST MASSAGE I HAD I FELT OVEREXPOSED?

Every massage therapist is different especially in Alberta.
Different training, different hours, different techniques.
Communication is essential and with that draping is a testament to that communication.
Proper draping ensures that only areas that is being massaged is exposed.
Proper draping sets boundaries and protects both the therapists and the client.
Therapists who lack in skill or lack in their professionalism should be brought up to the attention of the associations
that insure them all the way up to law enforcers.
