​
Can I Change What Is In The Spa Packages?
Sure, just let us know if you would like to leave anything out, we will spend the extra time massaging instead, or if you want to include something else, we are more than happy to add in things, usually at no extra charge.
​
Our primary aim is to give you the treatment you want and we are happy to tailor things to you.
​
What Should I Wear?
You should feel comfortable at all times so what you wear is completely up to you. It is also good for jewellery to be removed (such as earrings, necklace and watches).
​
Will I Be Covered?
Yes, at all times we use towel draping and respect your privacy during your massage. The therapist will only uncover that part of your body that they are working on at that time.
​
We consult with you prior to the treatment as to which parts of your body you give consent to be massaged.
​
We welcome you giving us as much information as you like on what you expect from your massage so we can give you the amazing experience we promise.
​
What Should I Expect?
​
If this is the first time you’ve ever had a massage, then please let your therapist know. They will explain to you what to expect. In general you should enjoy the experience and feel totally relaxed at the end.
​
At Ripple we don’t do “McDonalds massages” or set routines. We believe that each massage should be tailored exactly to what you want from your massage.
​
What If The Pressure Is Too Hard Or Soft?
​
The therapist will check with you during the massage that the pressure is firm enough for you.
​
We can always change things to make you happy.
​
What About Any Health Issues?
​Just let us know. You should let us know about things like high blood pressure, allergies, physical ailments, surgery or pregnancy.
​
How long will my appointment go for?
​
The therapist will start and finish on time.
​
A one hour massage session will consist of a brief consultation and a minimum 55 minute massage.
​
The massage time will include all extra day spa treatments such as face masks, foot bath, and exfoliation.
​
All group bookings will be done one after the other with no breaks. For example, f you have booked for 4 x one hour treatments, our therapist will be there for a total of 4 hours.
​
Girls Getaways
​
We are happy to do all the organisation for you. Why not relax and leave it in our hands to do all the chasing.
Just give us a buzz and if you like we can contact everyone directly.
​
Why Don’t You Accept Cash?
​
This is weird right? Most businesses love it if you pay in cash and sometimes give you a discount if you do?
​
At Ripple it’s the opposite. Because we are a purely mobile service it is our therapists who then have to pick up the cash.
​
Instead we take full payment on booking by Visa or Mastercard or by direct deposit.
​
This secures your therapist for your booking. Thanks for your understanding

Top Questions To Ask Your Massage Therapist
Do I Need To Bring Anything To My Massage?
​
Just yourself, as professional massage therapist we supply all that is required.
We bring a comfortable massage table, fluffy towels, aromatic oils, face masks, foot baths, body scrubs, music and everything we need to make you feel awesome. All you need to do is relax.
​
Please ensure your room is nice and warm for you for the day if it is chilly, and also that we have access to hot water and a power point. Otherwise, we are well experienced to set up the room for your spa treatments.
​
Do I Have To Wear Underwear During My Massage?
​We prefer that you do thanks.​
​
What Sort Of Massage Draping Do You Do?
As professional massage therapist we usually follow a protocol about draping, that is covering our clients with towels or sheets.
​
We keep all areas covered that are not being massaged
What Is The Difference Between A Massage Therapist And A Masseuse?​
​
With such a lot of misunderstanding about massage service and adult services, we prefer the term massage therapist.
​
A professional massage therapist has completed a lot of training to be able to offer clients a well-planned massage with ongoing treatment plan to help alleviate your aches and pains. All of our therapists are qualified to Diploma Of Remedial Massage.
​
The term masseuse is often used by those who offer adult services.
​
Do I Have To Take My Clothes Off For My Massage?
It is much easier and more beneficial for you if you do down to your underwear.
But if you are uncomfortable we can massage you fully clothed. The massage is about you and what is going to make you happy.
​
We fully understand that you may not be comfortable being naked in front of a stranger.
However, your therapist treats many clients and we see the body as a whole and as unit that requires our professional treatment​. We do give you privacy as you undress and get onto the table. Our main concern is that you are comfortable and relaxed and enjoy your massage.
​
Homework - Really?
​
Yes – if you have a treatment with a Remedial Massage Therapist they will more than likely give you soft exercises or stretches to do daily.
​
You will have booked a remedial therapist for an injury, or aches and pains and the ongoing homework will help to alleviate the pain.
​
What If My Body Makes Noises During The Massage?
​
It’s ok, we don't mind ond often don't notice.
​
You may snore – that’s great, it indicates you are relaxed and enjoying your treatment.
​
Tummy rumbles, passing wind it all happens because your body is now in the rest and digest mode.​
​
Can I Talk In A Massage?
​
Most people like to chat at the beginning of the treatment – it helps them feel comfortable and relaxed.
​
As the massage proceeds most will go into a relaxed sleep mode.
​
Clients can use their therapists as sounding board for pressures and stress in their lives.
​
Even though this is not part of the job, our therapists care and are happy to let you unwind.
Will A Massage Hurt Me?
​
This depends on what type of massage you are having. A Swedish Massage is a relaxation massage whereas a Deep Tissue massage is much slower and deeper to help knotted and tight muscles let go.
​
Your therapist will ask you how the pressure is throughout the massage. Please don’t be shy - let them know if the pressure is too intense or if you would like them to work deeper.
If your therapist pressure gets too much for you, don’t hesitate to ask them to change the pressure.
​
Everyone’s idea of a firm massage is different. It’s your massage to have how you want so please let us know.

Frequently Asked Massage Questions
How Much Clothing Should I Leave On During My Massage?
“Undress to your comfort level” means you can wear whatever you want.
​​
If you’re more comfortable keeping certain garments on, that’s fine.
​
Please don’t make yourself uncomfortable for us. You will however get a better massage if do take most of your clothing off.
​
Usually our clients will undress to just underwear. No bra will give us greater access to massage your back and shoulders. But it's totally up to you. We drape accordingly with towels to ensure your modesty during your treatment.
​
What If I Need To Go To The Bathroom During My Massage?
No worries at all! Just let us know, we don't want you to be uncomfortable.
​
It can be a good idea to go before you get on the massage table.
​​
​What If The Massage Hurts?
​Tell your therapist exactly what hurts, what’s sore, and what doesn’t need to be touched. Especially let them know of any health conditions.
​
​Be sure to discuss what it is that you’re hoping to achieve from your massage. Please let us know if you would like anything changed during your massage.
​
All Ripple therapists will spend at least 5 minutes with you before your initial consultation to go over any concerns that you may have.
​
Do You Offer Health Fund Rebates For Massage?
​
The majority of extended healthcare plans cover registered massage therapy treatments.
​
So the question then becomes “How much coverage do I have?” The answer to this is in your specific insurance policy.
​
Please note however very few of our therapists can offer health care rebates so be sure to double check at your time of booking should you wish to claim.
What If I Don’t Want My Therapist To Talk During My Massage
​
​If you want to make sure your therapist doesn’t talk during the massage, before your session starts say, “I’m so tired. I’m hoping I’ll fall asleep during this.” Works every time. Or if they are talking, please ask them not to. We won't be offended, we just want to make you happy.
However, if you would like to chat, go ahead!
​
What Should I Do During A Massage?
​
Make yourself as comfortable possible.
You will relax during most of your treatment on our therapists massage tables which are designed for stability and comfort.
​
Our therapists will ensure that you are warm and comfortable throughout your treatment. Relaxing music is played to help you unwind and focus on the changes occurring in your body.
​
Try taking nice long, deep breaths during the time of your massage, this will help to oxygenate the body.
​
Should I Shave Before A Massage?
​
To be honest, we don't care. Our therapists don’t mind if you didn’t shave your legs or if you have acne.
​
We have seen it all, and our focus isn’t on your body and how it looks but on how great we can make you feel.
​
I Can't Lie On A Massage Table, What Should I Do?
​
Your therapist will be able to do your massage seated chair. This is quite easy, we will work around you and what suits you.
​
We can also do massages side lying on the massage table if you are unable to lie on your back or front. Our therapists are highly experienced and will find a comfortable position for your massage.
​
What If I Am Sick For My Massage?​
​
If you are in the early and most contagious stage (first 48-72 hours) of a cold or flu, please do not let us come in for your session.
​
Please phone or email our booking team to cancel with as much notice as possible.
​
As massage can have a strong effect on the body, if you are sick, the massage may just intensify your symptoms.
Take some time to get over your illness and then simply rebook with us.
​
Do I Need A Doctor’s Referral?
​
No. Although many physicians refer patients for massage therapy treatments, massage therapists are primary health care providers who assess and treat people independently.
​
However, if you have a health condition that we think maybe contraindicated to massage, we may ask you check with your GP or specialist that having a massage is okay. We follow the health practitioners ethic of "do no harm".
​
How long before I get up when my massage is finished?
​
Massage and bodywork can be profoundly relaxing, affecting all your body’s systems.
​
Give yourself a moment to reorient before slowly getting up from the massage table.
​
When you do get up, you may feel a little lightheaded, so take it slowly.
​
We usually give our clients a while after the massage is finished before we wake you up. We like you to enjoy the total relaxation after your massage. The great thing about mobile massage is you don't have to get dressed after or go anywhere, just curl up and sleep, whatever your body needs.
What Can I Expect After A Massage?
Following a massage, it is possible to have some soreness for 24-48 hours, similar to the sensation experienced after a good workout. This is a normal response within the body when circulation and resulting detoxification is increased, and muscles have been worked.
​You will likely feel subtle shifts occurring over the following days as well. Some examples are:
​​
-
​Pain relief – less intensity and frequency of the pain in various areas of your body​​
-
Easier mobility when walking and moving in your daily life
-
Deeper sleep patterns
-
Constipation or other digestive concerns may subside
-
Stress, irritability and anxiety levels may lessen
-
Energy levels may feel increased
-
Just like exercise, the benefits of massage increase with regular treatments. As your overall body awareness is enhanced, you may find that you experience deeper relaxation and amazing benefits in overall wellness with each massage therapy session that you have.

Ripple Massage Locations
Gold Coast, Tamborine Mountain, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Scenic Rim
Please note regarding Ripple Massage Locations
​
Like a lot of businesses, the pandemic changed where and how we operate. We were unable to operate for long periods of time and unfortunately we are won't be reopening in many of the regions where we used to come to you with mobile massage.
​
Currently we limited availability of massage and beauty therapists in these regions, with minimum booking times.
​
Tamborine Mountain massage – One hour booking. As our head office is up here, and we have a few therapists who live here, we are able to come to you for the hour.
​
Gold Coast massage, minimum 1.5 hours.
​
Rest of the Scenic Rim massage, minimum 1.5 to 3 hours depending on region. There maybe a travel fee depending on how far out you are located.
​
Brisbane massage, minimum 2-3 hours (depending on region) + $50 travel fee for some areas (please ask).
​
Northern NSW and Byron Bay massage - Minimum 2-3 hours depending on region + $50 travel fee for Byron Bay regions
​
We try our absolute best to come to where you are and out therapists travel quite long distances, which is why we have some minimum booking times and travel fees to cover petrol costs. As we are only able now to have a much smaller team (most of therapists during the pandemic went into other careers), this has limited our regions.​
​
Thanks for your understanding
