When I’m not massaging… I’m still working. 🙂
Between appointments, I clean the treatment room, sanitise surfaces, vacuum, prepare the massage table and do the laundry.
And this is exactly why the gaps between my clients are important to me.
I don’t want to see people one after another, production-line style. I want enough time to properly reset and prepare the space for the next person.
That’s also why I ask you not to arrive too early. If you are here before your appointment time, just send me a quick text first. 😊
Whenever I use fabric sheets, they are freshly laundered for each client. If a blanket, towel or any other textile has direct contact with the body, it goes into the wash after the appointment.
🗑️ Yes, disposable sheets are also an option, but they create a considerable amount of waste.
I’m not pretending to be perfectly eco-friendly, but I do pay attention to how much rubbish we produce and how much waste we leave behind on this planet. 🌍
So why am I so particular about all of this?
I’ve been to treatment rooms myself where the massage table looked beautiful — soft towels, cushions for the face, cosy blankets… everything arranged to make you feel comfortable and relaxed.
But there is another side to it.
Do you remember during Covid, when we were told not to touch door handles, to disinfect surfaces and sometimes even use our own or disposable pens?
A door handle or a worktop can be wiped and disinfected.
Fabric absorbs.
Unfortunately, more than once I have finished a treatment somewhere and watched the towel my face had just been resting on simply being straightened and prepared for the next person. 😱
The same with towels or blankets used during the treatment.
And yet during a massage, your body can be in contact with these fabrics for 40, 60 or even 90 minutes.
The skin sweats, produces sebum, sheds dead skin cells — especially in summer after plenty of sunshine ☀️ — and can leave behind skincare products and natural secretions.
And sweat itself isn’t just water. 💦
It contains electrolytes such as sodium and chloride, as well as urea, lactate and other metabolic by-products. Certain medications, substances and their metabolites can also be present in sweat.
Sometimes a client falls asleep. 😴
Sometimes a nose runs. 🤧
Sometimes there may even be a little drool. 🤤
And you know what?
That’s completely normal. 😊
But this is exactly why, for me, hygiene is much more than simply wiping down the massage table.
Fabric that has been in contact with one client’s skin should not then be in contact with the next client.
Perhaps I’m particularly conscious of this because I spent years working in a hospital environment, where hygiene and infection-control routines simply became second nature to me.
That’s why after every appointment I need some time.
Time to clean.
Time for laundry.
Time to prepare fresh linen.
Time to reset the treatment room properly.
🌿 I’m also very conscious of the products I use on surfaces that may later come into contact with your skin. I use an alcohol-based solution with water and essential oils and keep the ingredients I use as simple as possible.
Because for me, your appointment begins before you even walk through the door. 🤍
What about you?
Have you ever paid attention to the towels, blankets and fabrics you’re lying on when you go for a massage? 🫣
