Introduction

The most common setting is your bedroom, but you can choose anywhere private, quiet, and comfortable.

✔ If your therapist works on your mattress:

  • Just make the bed with clean sheets.

  • Remove pillows, throws, or anything bulky.

✔ If your therapist brings a massage table:

  • Clear a space approx. 2m x 2.5m.

  • Make sure they can move around the table freely.

💡 You can view each therapist’s setup preference (table vs. mattress) on their profile.

Set the Mood (Optional, but Worth It)

You don’t need a candlelit spa setting—but you can still create a vibe that helps you fully unwind.

Try this:

  • Lower the lights or close the curtains

  • Play calming music (Zen Hut has curated Spotify playlists)

  • Light incense or use essential oils (only if you like them)

What to Wear (or Not Wear)

Let’s clear this up right away: you can be naked if you want to be.

Many clients are naturist and prefer to be fully nude. Others wear underwear. The key is that you choose what feels right, and the therapist respects that.

✔ Draping preferences:

Some therapists allow undraped massage, others may use a towel.
This is clearly shown in each therapist’s profile.

💡 Either way, you’ll have privacy to undress and get into position before the massage starts.

Before the Therapist Arrives

Here’s a quick checklist:

  • 🧼 Take a quick shower if you can

  • 🛏️ Tidy your massage area

  • 📵 Silence your phone

  • 🚪 Let housemates or family know not to disturb

  • 💧 Have water nearby

Your therapist brings oils, towels, and everything they need. You don’t need to provide a thing (unless you’d like to use your own towel or sheets).

During the Session

What to expect:

  • Your therapist will ask about pressure, areas of focus, and any injuries or concerns.

  • You’ll be asked to lie down and relax—you don’t need to talk unless you want to.

  • Your therapist will check in during the session but will mostly keep the vibe calm and quiet.

💬 Whether you want to chat, zone out, or fall asleep—it’s all totally normal.

After Your Massage

Massage can leave you feeling:

  • Lighter

  • Calmer

  • A little sleepy

  • Or deeply energised

Tips for aftercare:

  • Drink a glass or two of water

  • Avoid heavy meals or intense activity

  • Allow yourself time to chill before jumping back into anything

💡 You’ll likely sleep better and feel more grounded in the hours (or days) that follow.
