The Sage Experience

What to Expect

At SAGE you can expect a professional, friendly space where your treatment will be customised to meet your individual needs.

Please aim to arrive 10 minutes early so that you can relax in our welcome lounge, help yourself to our complimentary tea bar and prepare physically and mentally to enjoy your ‘time out’.

YOUR MASSAGE…

Massage sessions are structured as follows:

1hr massage = 50mins hands-on / 1.5hr massage = 80mins hands-on

2hr massage =110mins hands-on

This allows for 5 minutes before the massage for consultation, assessment and undressing, then 5 minutes after your massage for discussing future treatment needs, stretching advice, hot towel service and redressing.

Please advise your therapist of any medical history or current medication before they commence your treatment.

Minors under the age of 18 require a signed consent form from their parent/guardian.

Children under 16yrs are required to have a parent/guardian present in the room.

Any personal or medical information you provide is Private & Confidential and as such, will not be shared without your written consent.

Your therapist will tailor your massage just for you so please discuss what areas you would like focused on & what areas to leave out – full body massage is impossible to achieve satisfactorily in 50mins unless relaxation/Swedish only.

Consider an optional oil upgrade to enhance your massage experience – Aromatherapy or Sports – $10 members / $15 non-members.

After a brief discussion about your requirements, you will be left to undress.

Underpants are required so if you have forgotten yours please ask for a complimentary disposable pair.

Lay face down on the massage table and cover yourself with towel provided.

TIME TO RELAX…

Get comfortable on freshly sanitised towels, exhale, use your breath to relax & release.

Temperature, lighting & sound are all adjustable so let your therapist know how to adjust for you.

Your therapist will drape towel to respect your privacy & uphold the strict massage association code of ethics.

Please give feedback to your therapist about pressure so they get it just right.

Check your breathing? For muscle release, it’s your most powerful tool for letting go & facilitating release.

Feeling chatty? A little is okay, but silence calms the nervous system & facilitates muscle release.

To finish you will be offered a complimentary hot towel to remove any excess oil or you may choose to leave the oil to absorb for maximum benefit.

RESCHEDULE AND CANCELLATION OF APPOINTMENTS…

Please reschedule or cancel your appointment without charge up until 24hrs before appointment.

Unfortunately, as we pre-schedule therapists for individual appointments, if we are unable to fill your spot you will incur the full cost of the session. Consider sending a friend or family member in your place to avoid a fee & treat a loved one.

Thank you for your understanding & appreciate you supporting our small local business.
