Information

Your treatment

If you have any questions at all we would be more than happy to answer them :-) Don’t be shy, give us a call on 0438 567 906 or email info@ripplemassage.com.au

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 jewelry to be removed (such as earrings, necklace and watches).

Will I be covered during the treatment?

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”. We believe that each massage should be unique and tailored exactly to what you want from your massage. So we don’t do set routines but consult with you prior to your treatment to ensure you receive the massage the you want, not the one we want to give to you.

If the pressure is too hard or too soft during the treatment, can I let the therapist know?

Yes. The therapist will check with you during the massage that the pressure is firm enough for you, however if at any stage you would like the pressure changed, or are uncomfortable for any reason, please let us know as well can always change things to make you happy.

What about any health issues?

If there is anything regarding your health that you think we should know about then please tell us. You should let us know about things like high blood pressure, allergies, physical ailments, surgery or pregnancy.

Massage is contra indicated in the first trimester of pregnancy, however we love to massage pregnant women in their second and third trimesters once the pregnancy is settled .

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 set up and a minimum 55 minute massage. The massage time will include all extra day spa treatments such as face masks, foot bath, and exfoliation.

What if I’m happy with my treatment?

We love to hear from happy clients, and always pass on any feedback to our therapists from their massage and beauty treatments. They work really hard and are passionate about making people happy so it always makes them feel good to know they made someone smile

What if I am unhappy with my massage?

Please let us know. We welcome all feedback and go out of our way to ensure our clients are happy.

You can contact our booking manager at info@ripplemassage.com.au

Therapists

Can you send two therapists for the massage?

We often do couples massages or a number of massages on the same day (especially girls day out or hens parties).

The more notice we are given the better able we are to organise this, and it also does depend on the size of the accommodation you maybe staying in (some cottages and hotel rooms will only fit one massage table).

Hens Parties And Girls Weekend Organisation

We are happy to do all the organisation of your pampering if you like. We realise that it can be a lot for you to arrange what everyone wants, so 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.

Free gift box

We love to say thanks so if your group books ten hours or more we will send the organise a gift box valued at $70.

Payment

Why don’t you accept cash payment?

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.

We had a number of clients who booked with us and then didn’t show for their confirmed treatments. The therapist had taken the time and money to get ready and drive to the booking, often knocking back other work, only to have the booking not go ahead. It wasn’t fair on the therapists who were then out of pocket.

In the end it wasn’t working so unfortunately, as much as we would love to, we are unable to take cash payments.

Instead we take payment by Visa or Mastercard or by direct deposit. Thanks for your understanding.

We ask that our guests extend the same respect to our therapists as we extend to our guests. Thanks.
