Before any massage

  • Arrive a little early so you can relax, complete any consultation details, and share your goals with the therapist.
  • Please tell us about comfort preferences, pressure sensitivity, allergies, skin sensitivity, or any condition that may affect your comfort during the session.
  • Avoid a heavy meal and drink water before and after the session to support comfort and recovery.
  • If you prefer gentle, medium, or strong pressure, mention it before the treatment starts and again during the session if needed.

Pregnancy & children

  • Pregnant guests: please contact us before booking. Massage pressure, position, oils, heat, steam, and jacuzzi use may need to be adjusted or postponed depending on your stage of pregnancy and your doctor’s advice.
  • Children and teenagers: visits should always be discussed with our team in advance so we can confirm age suitability, treatment format, timing, and parent or guardian attendance requirements.
  • For both pregnant guests and minors, pre-approval helps us recommend the safest available option or advise when a service is not suitable.

Moroccan hammam & jacuzzi guidance

  • Moroccan hammam includes heat, steam, cleansing products, and exfoliation, so please mention very sensitive skin, recent waxing, sunburn, or active irritation before your appointment.
  • Jacuzzi and steam-based rituals may feel more intense if you are dehydrated, unwell, or sensitive to heat, so let the team know if you need a shorter and gentler experience.
  • Bring us any concerns about blood pressure, dizziness, or discomfort with hot environments before starting hammam or jacuzzi sessions.

What to communicate during the session

  • You can always ask to adjust pressure, focus areas, room temperature, music volume, or massage oil preference.
  • If anything feels uncomfortable, too warm, too intense, or too light, tell your therapist immediately so the treatment can be adapted.
  • Our goal is a professional, respectful, and personalized spa experience from the beginning of your visit to the final aftercare recommendations.
