Over All Room Basics Remember to make every effort to bring as much "calm" into the room as possible. Set aside a room dedicated to massage and not also being used for storage or an office. Choose paint that is neutral in color, use minimal wall hangings and knick-knacks, less clutter is more relaxing. Use a nebulizer or diffuser that uses cold to pump essential oils like calming grapefruit into the air.    Click Here to see the Nebulizers. Smudge room frequently to cleanse energy.

Have a space dedicated for the client to put their clothes and belongings. Have the room totally set up before the client arrives.    The less fussing around that you have to do, the more relaxed your client will feel. Set out all oils and tools on a tray or small table. If you are doing a pedicure at a salon, have all products on a tray or basket beside you. Flowers are a nice touch, fresh if possible. Remember to always present yourself clean, well coifed, hands clean, nails manicured and pedicured and non-stressed. If doing a foot treatment, let client soak in a footbath beforehand.    Use small tumbled crystals in the bath for client to roll feet back and forth over. Try to stay away from creating too strong of a "theme" in your massage room.    Too heavy of a religious, ethnic, sensual, hippie, gothic or new age theme can offend some people or    conjure images of something other than healing. Cleanliness Keep room vacuumed and organized. Bleach sheets to keep from looking stained. Music CD's ~ Set to continually play if possible. Use a CD player with a remote so you can re-start CD if it stops during massage. (CD's hate oil) MP3 Player ~ fill an i pod with soothing spa music and hit play. Choose music like calming ocean waves or other soothing spa music. Avoid loud piano, drums, guitar. Water Feature You can use a fountain to provide the room with the calming sound of running water,    but keep in mind that some people's bladders are stimulated by that sound. Lighting Use lamps as opposed to an over-head light. Use Himalayan salt or crystal lamps to infuse the room with negative ions for relaxation. Click Here to see the Lamps. A few candles in the room adds a calming touch. Client Comfort Supply your client with a spa wrap to wear. Velcro closure does up in front. Bed, Bath & Beyond for $20. Slippers from the dollar store for $2. Hair bands to protect hair from getting oiled from Winners for $5. Fluffy towels from Winners $12. Make a cup of herb or green tea or water with lemon and bring it to your client after they are re-dressed.    Don't forget one for yourself! Massage Table Dress your table in clean white or off-white fitted & flat sheets with a face cradle cover. Top that with a micro-fiber blanket or large fluffy towel. Try to co-ordinate your colors so the table looks inviting and clean. Avoid the "patch-work-quilt effect".
