WHAT TO EXPECT

Arrival

Arrive 5-10 minutes early in comfortable, clean clothes (soft, stretchy or loose, lounge-comfy). When planning your day, allow about 75 minutes total.  

You'll be welcomed by a Durham Bodywork team member. Here, you'll complete payment and your intake form, and settle in before your massage therapist greets you at your session start time. If you are a new client, please consider completing your health history form before arriving.

Getting To Know You

In collaboration with your massage therapist, you'll determine an intention based on your current needs and the information on your intake form. We encourage you to explore what might support you on the day of your session.

Bodywork + Integrative Rest

Bodywork

Your therapist will use intentional, skilled touch to support your intention. Your session is clothed for comfort and mobility, and you will receive about 30-35 minutes of massage.

Integrative Rest

Your therapist will support your transition to Integrative Rest, where you'll join other clients and settle in with bolsters, pillows, and blankets. The integration guide will care for the entire group for the remaining 20-25 minutes of your session. They will ensure your comfort and offer a simple guided practice to assist you in relaxing and absorbing the benefits of your massage.

Completion

The integration guide will suggest gentle movements to shift you up and out of stillness. You'll fill out a brief outtake form to compare how you feel after your session to when you arrived. And you'll have a chance to go slow, sit for awhile, ask any questions you may have, and schedule your next session.
