Falling asleep during a massage…

A fun comment I hear from clients sometimes is:
“Do you keep working when I fall asleep?” or

“Don’t let me fall asleep—I want to feel what you’re doing!” 💤 💤

Fun fact: Yes, we absolutely keep working while you sleep! In fact, it’s almost like a compliment because it means you’re completely relaxed and receptive to the massage. No therapist is going to stop just because you doze off—after all, you paid for the time and service, and we’re here to provide that.

Another amusing comment I get is:
“Just pinch me or smack me if I fall asleep so I’ll wake up.”

We won’t be doing that! We understand that you want to stay aware of what’s happening, especially if it’s your first massage or you’re unsure about the experience. 💆🏼‍♀️
If you’d prefer not to fall asleep, there are gentler ways to stay engaged. You can ask your therapist to chat with you throughout the session, request a different type of music, or explore other techniques that keep you more present—without any harm involved!
