What to Expect

When you book a massage at Nu Wave Acupuncture, your comfort and care come first. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

  • A peaceful environment: Soft lighting, relaxing music, and gentle sound machines create a calm, grounding atmosphere.

  • A heated, cushioned massage table for full-body comfort throughout your session.

  • A brief consultation where we listen before your massage to discuss your goals — whether that’s pain relief, improved mobility, deep relaxation, or overall wellness.

  • Personalized care: Each session is customized to your needs, blending therapeutic techniques with intuitive touch.

  • Open communication: You’re encouraged to share preferences and feedback at any time so your experience feels exactly right for you.

  • Thoughtful follow-up: After your session, your therapist will share insights and may recommend stretches, self-care tips, or a personalized treatment plan to help you maintain results.

Our goal: to help you move freely, release tension, and leave feeling deeply restored — body, mind, and spirit, each session.

Massage FAQ

  • Jessica specializes in therapeutic and orthopedic massage, blending deep tissue, relaxation, and corrective techniques to meet each client’s unique needs — whether for pain relief, mobility, or relaxation.

  • Arrive a few minutes early to unwind, use the restroom if needed, and complete any brief intake forms. Wear comfortable clothing and come hydrated.

  • Your therapist will begin with a short consultation to discuss your goals, areas of tension, and preferred pressure level. The session is tailored completely to you, with relaxing music, a heated table, and open communication throughout.

  • You’ll undress to your level of comfort. Most clients choose to undress fully or to their undergarments, and you’ll be draped securely at all times — only the area being worked on will be uncovered.

  • You are always in control of your experience. Please let your therapist know if you’d like to adjust the temperature, pressure, music, or anything else.

  • It depends on your goals. For acute pain or injury recovery, weekly or biweekly sessions may be beneficial. For general wellness or stress relief, monthly sessions often help maintain results. Jessica can recommend a personalized treatment plan after your first visit.

    Using the sauna after acupuncture is safe and beneficial as well. For those with sings of heat or that are sensitive to heat, it is better positioned after acupuncture, when the body has been regulated and the treatment has helped clear or balance excess heat. Even then, sauna sessions should be shorter and closely monitored.

  • Nu Wave Acupuncture does not directly bill insurance for massage therapy, but we’re happy to provide a superbill upon request for you to submit to your provider. Email info@nuwaveacupuncture.com to request this.

  • Absolutely. Many clients find that combining therapies enhances their results. Massage can be scheduled on the same day as acupuncture or Reiki, or on alternating days depending on your goals, your body’s needs, and how you respond to detoxification. Your practitioners can help you decide what timing and combination will best support your healing process.
