Make sure the therapist brings a massage table, sheets, and oil. Most mobile therapists do, but confirm for apartment or hotel setups.
Hotels often require a heads-up for in-room massage. Some hotels have preferred vendor lists; check with the concierge to avoid issues.
Prenatal massage requires a certified therapist. Kinetic Touch, Blissful Being, and Tranquil Space are strong options for pregnancy work.
Ask if the therapist accepts HSA/FSA. Revive In-Home Massage and some medical-focused therapists provide receipts for health spending accounts.
Clear a 6×8 foot space and keep pets in another room. The therapist needs room to move around the table.
