Give your digestion a break
It’s best to avoid eating in the hour or two prior to your treatment to ensure your body isn’t busy digesting food during your massage.
Steer clear of any big, heavy meals and opt for light snacks (such as fruit or nuts) before your booking to ensure you don’t feel bloated or sluggish going into your massage.
Remove jewellery
Along with picking the right outfit (more on that in a minute), it’s a wise move to take off any jewellery before your massage. This includes things like hoop earrings, watches, necklaces, and bracelets, which may get in the way of allowing your masseuse to deliver the best experience possible.

That means switching your phone off or onto Do Not Disturb mode, closing down your laptop and preparing your mind and body to receive the benefits of your full-body massage. Remember: this session is about putting yourself first.
