A first massage can bring a little apprehension: you are not quite sure how it will go, what you are supposed to do, or what you are allowed to ask for. That is entirely normal. To help you approach this moment with peace of mind, here is how a first wellness massage session unfolds at Senfy Touch, step by step.
How does booking a first session work?
It all starts with a simple message. You can write on WhatsApp, call or fill in the website's form, stating the service you are interested in, as well as your preferred date and time slot. If you are unsure which massage to choose, simply say so: this is the perfect time to ask your questions.
Once the appointment is confirmed, you receive the practical information you need. Once online payment is enabled on the website, you will also be able to settle your service at the time of booking.
What happens at the welcome stage?
The welcome is a time for conversation. It allows you to get acquainted, to talk about what you feel like that day and your preferences: pressure, areas to focus on or avoid, the atmosphere you would like. No detailed health questions are imposed on you; you remain free to share whatever you feel is useful for your comfort.
It is also when you are told how the session will unfold. Knowing what to expect helps a great deal in relaxing when discovering a massage.
How do you settle in for the massage?
You are invited to lie on the massage table, in the position shown to you. Your privacy is preserved: only the areas being massaged are uncovered, the rest of your body stays covered with a towel or sheet.
Take the time to find a comfortable position. If something bothers you, such as the height of a cushion or the temperature of the room, mention it without hesitation: these small adjustments make a big difference.
What does a wellness massage feel like?
Everyone experiences their massage differently. Some let themselves drift towards sleep, others remain fully aware of every movement. There is no right or wrong way to receive a massage: what matters is that you feel good.
You can talk or stay silent, as you prefer. And if the pressure does not suit you, a word is enough to adjust it. A wellness massage should remain a pleasant moment from start to finish.
Why allow time to unwind afterwards?
After the massage, it is best not to get up suddenly. A short period to unwind lets you gently reconnect with your surroundings, get dressed at your own pace and, if you wish, talk about how you felt.
This time is an integral part of the session. It helps you extend the feeling of relaxation instead of plunging straight back into the bustle of Paris.
How long does a first session last?
The duration depends on the service chosen. It is stated on each massage's page as soon as it is published on the website. Allow a little extra time before and after, so you can arrive without rushing and leave at ease.
For a first time, choosing a session that gives you time to discover and get used to the experience is often a good idea. You can then adjust the duration for future visits.
What should you do after your first session?
After your massage, treat yourself to a calm moment if you can: a glass of water, a quiet walk, an evening without screens. These small touches help extend this moment for yourself.
If you enjoyed the experience, you can book a new session whenever you like, via WhatsApp, by telephone or through the website. And if something did not suit you, do not hesitate to say so: your feedback helps adjust the next session.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to undress completely?
No. You keep whatever makes you comfortable; areas that are not being massaged stay covered with a towel.
Can I talk during the massage?
Yes, or you can stay silent: it is entirely your choice. A word is also enough to adjust the pressure.
Should I arrive early?
Arriving a few minutes early lets the session start without feeling rushed.
