My Experience With Custom Massages
Initially I decided I would offer a customized massage at 45, 60, 90 and 120 min increments.
Working as a massage therapist in a variety of settings, I learned why this is not the way I desire to serve my clients.
Instead of having a single custom massage offering, I chose to offer a variety of massage to suit your needs.Â
This helps both of us in a number of ways. Some massage practices will offer a customized massage where you choose the duration and pressure or type of massage that you want. I have worked like this before and did not like it for a few reasons.Â
Deep Tissue & Deep Pressure Massage
Most people wanted “deep tissue” or deep pressure, even with educating clients they didn't always understand the difference in scheduling the right type of massage.
Deep Tissue and deep pressure are not the same.Â
I am not a deep pressure therapist. I am proud to say that and know that about myself. I work at a moderate pressure and ensure that my clients get relief without unnecessary pain and work at a level that is comfortable for me.
I love a good deep tissue session, but having them back to back is not healthy or safe for my body or energy levels working as a massage therapist.Â
Setting Expectations For Your Session
Also, it doesn't allow me to plan or prepare for the session. I don't know what your expectations are of the massage and neither do you.
I like being prepared and setting the right expectation for clients.
So I choose to create my own custom massage offerings, instead of having one blanket massage. I love this because I have a variety of skills in addition to massage and get to craft unique sessions.
Customized Massages Available at The Kulture Spa
Here are the main massages that I offer at The Kulture Spa:
- Lalisa Relaxation Massage – this is my version of a Swedish. It is a slower paced massage at a light to moderate pressure. It's perfect for people who desire to relax and release stress.
- Kulture Signature Massage – This is a blend of relaxation and muscle relief. I recommend this to people who have some tension that they would like to focus on while still having a relaxing massage.
- Tension Tamer Deep Tissue – This is the only deep tissue massage that I offer for clients who truly desire a full body deep tissue experience.
I do have a another massage option but haven't really talked about that one yet. It's more aligned with a therapeutic or sports massage, called Sankofa Touch. While I don't offer a single customized session I do offer a variety of massages based on your needs.
