Frequently Asked Questions
Arrival
Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your session to make sure you are able to get settled on the table to start at your scheduled time. Late arrival could cut into your hands-on time.
If you arrive MORE than 10 minutes early the door could still be locked. We will be with you soon!
Payment
There is a 3.5% fee for card charges. Otherwise, you may choose to pay using cash or Zelle following your session.
Parking
We do not usually have immediate parking so please plan accordingly to make sure you are able to enjoy a short, hassle-free walk through our beautiful area if you are driving. During less busy times, we recommend the street parking in front of St John's college, or the free parking on King George street just before the Wagner street intersection. The closest parking garage is Calvert Street Garage at 19 St Johns st, about two blocks away, which is free after 6pm on weekdays and free on weekends.
There is also a Free Shuttle loop for busier times that drops off two blocks away at church circle and picks up from further garages and parking. https://accessannapolis.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Free-Downtown-Shuttle-Map.pdfWhat areas are included in a “full body” massage?
A full body massage typically includes arms, hands, legs, feet, glutes, back, upper chest/shoulders, neck, and head/scalp if there is time and it is requested.
If you are uncomfortable with work on any of these areas during your session (for any reason), please let us know so we can plan to work around it, especially on your intake form.
Any areas that would be covered by a bikini will never be worked on or exposed, regardless of gender.
Allergies or Sensitivities
We don’t use any aromatherapies or scented products without asking and our laundry detergent is unscented. Our lotions are typically free of allergens, but we can check the ingredients on request anytime.
What do we specialize in, and how should I know if I am a good fit for your techniques?
We are each capable of a full range of pressure (we mean it!) from intense deep to gentle and relaxing, as well as prenatal, hot stones, and more.
I’ve never had a massage. What should I expect?
After a quick discussion of your goals with your massage session, your therapist will step out for you to get undressed and lay on the massage table, either face down ON the headrest or face up OFF the headrest (with head on the table). You can take off as much or as little clothing as you feel most comfortable to allow access to areas you need work, but most people choose to just leave on their underwear bottoms. Please ensure that you are covered well by the sheets before responding when your therapist knocks. As previously mentioned, “bikini areas” must be covered at all times by careful sheet draping and should feel secure throughout the session.
During your session, you are more than welcome to ask questions, give feedback, and/or chat as much as you feel will benefit you. If you need the pressure or technique adjusted, say so whenever! We DO listen!
After your session ends, your therapist will exit to allow you time to dress and meet us up front.
Stay hydrated so that your body can adapt to the work without getting sore!
