How to choose a massage service

Just want to unwind

Relaxation or Swedish. Soft, even strokes and a quiet room.

A back full of knots

Deep Tissue. Slow, firm pressure where it is tight.

Screen or steering-wheel neck

Stress Relief. Time spent on the neck and shoulders.

Like pressure that holds

Shiatsu. Press, hold, release, point by point.

Step 2 · Time

30 vs 60 minutes: which is better?

For a first visit, 60 minutes is the easier pick. A 30-minute massage ($50) handles one area, like the neck and shoulders. A 60-minute massage ($70) covers head to toe and gives you time to settle in. Our post on choosing 30 or 60 minutes goes further.

What to expect on your first visit

  1. Check in at the desk

    We confirm your massage and ask where it is tight and how firm you like it.

  2. Get comfortable

    Your therapist steps out while you settle onto a clean, draped table.

  3. Let go

    You stay covered the whole time. Ask for lighter or firmer whenever you want.

Good to Know

First-time massage guide: questions guests ask

Before you come

Can I come in without an appointment?
Yes. Turn up any day, 8:00 AM to midnight. A chat or a call to (628) 588-9899 first means a room is waiting for you.
What does a first massage cost, and how long is it?
The same as any other: $50 for 30 minutes or $70 for 60. Half an hour suits one area; an hour covers your whole body.
Which massage should I try first?
Try Swedish or Relaxation. Both are gentle, and your therapist follows the pressure you ask for.
Do I need special clothes?
No. Come as you are. On the table you stay under a sheet and take off only what you want to.

A warm hour is waiting for you.
