What To Expect
Additional Information
At East Tern Wellness your comfort is our top priority. We offer a safe space, supportive atmosphere and personalized sessions. We are happy to answer any questions you may have prior to your appointment.
Your session will be intuitively tailored to suit your needs, comfort and goals and individualized each time. Whether you arrive seeking relaxation, relief, growth, stability, balance or anything in between, we are here to facilitate your innate ability to achieve what your body, mind and spirit are seeking. We are here for the journey, whatever that looks like for you.
You will be fully clothed during all treatments (minus your shoes). Please wear something comfortable and avoid a large meal prior to your appointment.
You will be on a massage table, bolstered with any supports you may need to be comfortable.
You will remain on your back or asked to turn onto your stomach depending on the service you are receiving. We are able to raise the head of the table up if you are unable to lay flat on your back, or uncomfortable. Please let your provider know prior to starting if you need your head up a bit, we will adjust the table before you settle down.
Your provider will use light touch or hovering of hands throughout your session. Touch is generally about the weight of a nickel. Please let your prover know if you are sensitive to touch anywhere on your body so it may be avoided to your comfort.
Your provider may use fragrances such as an essential oil diffuser, incense or sandalwood burning in the room, (but not topically or orally) unless you alert them prior to a sensitivity or allergy. Please let your provider know if you are sensitive to fragrance well before arrival.
During your session you may feel a deep sense of relaxation, perhaps even sleep.
You are welcome to talk during your session or simply quietly relax. You may have your eyes open or closed, but do not be surprised if your provider has their eyes closed some of the time. They are “listening” to the subtle rhythm of your body and energy.
Each person will experience the work a little differently as the body releases what no longer serves it and restores its natural state.
This is a wonderful time to take for yourself and we are so happy that you have chosen us to be part of your journey.
"I will not rescue you.
for you are not powerless.
I will not fix you.
for you are not broken.
I will not heal you
For I see you in your wholeness.
I will walk with you through the darkness, as you remember your light."
