Here are some points to help you prepare for a massage at home.
- Make space for the massage therapist to set up.

- You can request for the massage therapist to bring a massage table, or a floor mat. However some therapists might charge an extra cost for the massage table. The massage therapist will bring towels, cloths, oils and creams. Although you will need to have one or two towels available.
- If you don’t have enough space for a massage table, your bed will work fine.
If you are using a bed, you will need two towels, or a two sheets. Lay the towel or cloth on the bed to prevent the massage oil from getting onto your bedsheets. And keep another towel or cloth to drape with.
However if you prefer the massage on the floor, speak to your massage therapist if it’s comfortable for them to do the massage on the floor.
To prepare the floor for the massage, you will need a soft mat, or cushions, or a duvet or similar, one or two towels, and two pillows; for your head and for your legs. - A shower or a bath before a massage is always a good idea. So that you are clean and fresh before the massage therapist arrives.
- For music, you can select a soothing music or playlist for the session. Or you can ask your massage therapist to choose the music. But if you don’t want music, that’s okay, just ask for no music during the massage.
- Candles. Candles create a relaxed ambience. However do not leave them unattended.
