Questions and Answers
What to Know Before Your Massage
What should I wear to a session?
Wear what feels comfortable for your visit. Your therapist can explain draping and discuss your preferences before bodywork begins. You can ask to keep any area covered or avoid touch there.
Do I have to fill the whole appointment with conversation?
No. After discussing your needs and boundaries, you may prefer quiet. Katy or Caitlin can still check in about comfort and pressure when needed.
Can I change the massage plan once we begin?
Yes. You can request a different pressure, focus area, position, or pace. You can also pause or stop the session.
Can I book while pregnant or postpartum?
The Quiet Room describes prenatal and postnatal support. Please share your situation when contacting the practice so your questions about comfort and the session can be addressed directly.
Is this medical or mental health treatment?
No. The Quiet Room provides massage and supportive bodywork. It does not diagnose or treat a medical or mental health condition. A qualified clinician can help with questions about treatment.
What if I am processing grief or a life transition?
Katy offers trauma-informed and grief-supported massage with extra time before and after the hands-on work. You may share only what you wish. This is massage therapy, not psychotherapy.
Are new male clients accepted?
Yes, by referral. The Quiet Room is a women-focused studio.
How can I ask about pricing?
