What To Expect When You Come To Moxie

For A Massage:

When you come in to Moxie for a massage ,we want you to feel relaxed and happy. Please arrive approximately 5 minutes before your appointment time to allow for the therapist to consult with you, have you fill out an intake form and show you around. After you know where everything is we will show you to your room. There are hooks behind the door for your clothes, and a dish for jewelry or glasses,key etc. Each therapist will discuss what to expect , how they will start and tell you to let them know during the massage if you want more or less pressure or if you are comfortable. SPEAK UP! This is your massage if you want to change something or if you are to warm cold etc, you have to tell us! We are very intuitive, but we do not have E.S.P. After the therapist leave the room you may disrobe and get on the table underneath the colored sheet. The therapist will return, knock and begin your massage. After your massage the therapist will leave the room and get you some water while you get dressed. Go ahead and come out of your room and back up to the front where you filled out your intake form and we will set up your next appointment and see you out. Do not hesitate to ask question or ask for more information about massage and you are always welcome to come in and meet us and look around at any time.

For A Facial Massage:

When you come in for a facial, we typically do an assessment of your skin type, you fill out an intake form, and disrobe like you would for a massage (see above). We start by doing approximately 30 minutes of facial massage, with gentle acupressure. This coaxes muscles back into their youthful condition. Then a hot towel is applied to the face, to open up the pores. We use a cream cleanser, and a facial brush to remove dead skin cells and encourage cellular turnover. another hot towel is used and then a honey solution is applied to the face. We use a tapotement stroke to help bring fresh blood to the face to flush out toxins and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Then we use a stockinette to tie up the chin to help provide stability to the muscles. While you are in this stage we relax the body and mind with Swedish style, hand and foot massage and encourage acceptance of moisture to the skin by wrapping them in warm towels also. This treatment is pure bliss.

For a Backtini®: See Massage as above

When you come in for a Backtini®, you fill out the intake form and treat it as you would a normal massage (see above). You choose from one of the 37 scents that we have to exfoliate, clear up breakouts, and increase cellular turnover for fresh clear skin. We add your chosen scent to the sugar shake it up and "serve" it in a martini glass in your room. We start with basic light feather strokes and use gentle massage to remove dead skin and relieve stress and tension. Then we use hot towels to soak up the excess sugar and complete the experience with a slow blissful massage to melt your cares away.For Manicures and Pedicures

For A Manicure Or Pedicure:

When you come in for a Manicure or Pedicure we will do a quick intake, to find out what concerns or desires you may have regarding your nails and their health, and have you wash your hands or soak your feet.
