What To Expect​
-
​There's no need to arrive earlier than your appointment time if you have filled out our intake form before arriving. Please arrive 20 minutes early if you choose to fill out the intake form at Vela.
-
If you will be using the sauna before your massage, we will guide you to one of our private changing rooms where you will change into a robe, sarong or your swimsuit (we do not provide swimsuits). Our steam sauna is clothing optional, co-ed and communal. One robe, towel and sarong is provided free of charge for our massage clients. Additional ones may be rented.
-
You will put your clothes/belongings into a basket and it will be waiting for you in the room where you will receive your massage. We recommend leaving valuables at home or in your car, keep in mind that jewelry will be removed for your massage and is not recommended in the sauna. This is the number one item left behind at Vela.
-
The sauna is a great way to loosen tight muscles and calm your mind, preparing you for your massage session. Less time will be needed to warm up the muscle tissue, allowing your Massage Therapist to provide you with an even more effective massage.
-
There's no need to worry about time while in the sauna. Your Massage Therapist will come get you when it is time for your session. If you would like to keep track of how long you have been in the sauna, please use the sand timers attached to the interior walls of the sauna. Keep in mind, we do not cut your massage time, even if we are running a bit behind.
-
When it is time for your massage your Massage Therapist will let you know, ask if you'd like more tea or water and bring you to the massage room. You may discuss any areas you would like special attention paid to or anything that can be done to make the session more enjoyable for you.
-
Your Massage Therapist will leave the room so you may get undressed and slide under the covers on the cozy, heated massage table. You will be draped appropriately during the massage, only areas being worked on will be exposed. If there is an article of clothing you prefer to leave on, as to feel more comfortable, then please do. You should feel safe and comfortable!
-
​During your massage we encourage you to take deep breathes and allow yourself to melt into the massage table. Some people like to talk a bit during their massage and others prefer to not say a word. Do what feels best for you and keep in mind, no Massage Therapist will find you to be rude for not talking, silence is welcomed.
-
Do not hesitate to speak up if the pressure is too light or too deep or if you are needing the temperature or face cradle adjusted. Let your Massage Therapist know if anything can be done to make you more comfortable. Massage is a healing interaction between two persons, not one person doing something to you. Be a part of your healing process!
-
After your massage the Massage Therapist will leave the room. Take your time and get dressed. We will be waiting for you in the reception area. You may sip some tea, eat complimentary chocolates and just slowly come back to the real world.
-
We encourage you to make your next appointment before leaving. If you purchase two sessions for yourself at the same time we will take $20 off the second session as long as it is used within 30 days of purchase. If you are unable to make it back in within the 30 days, you just pay the $20 difference.
-
Tipping your Massage Therapist is greatly appreciated but not expected. Tips may be given directly to your Massage Therapist, paid with a credit card at the front desk, or you can put cash or checks in a provided envelope at the front desk for the Massage Therapist. Standard consideration is 15-20% of the fee for each service received.

We look forward to meeting you and providing you with outstanding bodywork.
