What if I fall asleep? or drool? or snore?

Should you be embarrassed if you sleep, snore, or drool while on the massage table?  Never!  Do any of these bother me as a therapist?  No, not usually!  If the goals for your massage are to relax, unwind, and leave stress behind – then it’s a compliment. ​

If you’re seeing me for a therapeutic massage, then sleeping may mean we’ve missed our mark.  Typically, a massage to address an acute muscular condition, chronic pain, or chronic muscle tension is more intense and requires your participation and feedback.  A therapeutic massage doesn’t need to be painful and is still relaxing.  You just can’t completely float away to Shangri La.
 
 By the way, each client gets clean linens - so drool away!  And since I’m not trying to sleep, your snoring doesn’t bother me at all.
