Some things we get asked
The useful bits, all in one place.
Home massage is wonderfully straightforward once you know what to expect. Here are the questions that tend to come up before a first booking.
What does my therapist bring?
Your therapist brings a professional portable massage table and their own massage oil, wax, balm or cream.
Individual therapists use different products, so if you have an allergy or sensitivity, please include it in your health information when you book.
What do I need to provide?
Please have towels, sheets or soft blankets available for the treatment. You’ll also need a suitable indoor space for the massage table with enough room for your therapist to work comfortably around it.
Do I need parking nearby?
Yes, nearby parking is important. Our therapists carry a massage table and other equipment, so they need to be able to park reasonably close to your home.
Parking limitations affect which Bristol postcodes we can reliably cover. If parking at your address is unusual or restricted, please tell us when you book.
Which areas of Bristol do you cover?
Relax & Be works with mobile therapists across North, South, East and West Bristol, with availability covering many BS postcodes.
The main limitation is usually parking rather than distance. You can see the current coverage information on our Massage in Bristol page .
How do I choose the right massage?
You can choose from the treatment options shown when you book. If you’re unsure, Bespoke Massage is designed to be adapted around what you need on the day.
Your therapist can also talk through pressure, areas of tension and your preferences before the treatment begins.
Can I book a couples massage?
Yes. Our couples option is for two people receiving individual treatments at the same location. The available couples options are shown through the couples booking route.
Do you offer pregnancy massage?
Yes, pregnancy massage is one of the treatments offered through Relax & Be. Choose the pregnancy massage option when booking so you are matched with an appropriate therapist.
Are your therapists qualified and insured?
Relax & Be works with independent massage therapists who are qualified and insured. Qualifications and experience are checked before a therapist joins the service.
What massage oils will be used?
Our therapists are independent and use their own professional products, so there isn’t one single oil used across every treatment. Common choices include natural carrier oils, massage waxes, balms and creams.
If you have allergies or sensitivities, make sure these are included in your booking information. If you specifically want essential oils, choose the Essential Oil Massage option.
How do I book?
Start on the Book a Massage page, choose who the treatment is for, and you’ll be taken to the relevant treatment options in our booking system.
From there you can choose your treatment and continue through the available appointment times.
