Experiencing a professional, high-quality massage can completely transform your sense of well-being. At Artemis Lisbon SPA, every detail is designed to ensure a smooth, comfortable, and memorable experience. To help you make the most of your session, here is a complete preparation guide — from booking to after-care — covering hygiene, behaviour, therapist choice, and other essential aspects.
Before the Session: Booking and Preferences
- Book your appointment in advance to secure your preferred time. Even if you arrive without booking, it is recommended to call at least 30 minutes before to confirm availability.
- Choose the type of massage you want (relaxation, therapeutic, sensual/erotic, tantric) and specify whether you prefer a male or female therapist.
- Some massages require more interaction or body contact, so make sure you understand the nature of the technique you chose.
- Arrive on time. If you expect to be late, informing the spa helps ensure smooth scheduling and a positive experience for all clients.
Hygiene, Clothing and Physical Condition
- Showering before your session is mandatory. Good personal hygiene enhances comfort and improves the overall experience for both client and therapist.
- Towels and hygiene products are provided for your convenience.
- Avoid smoking before your session to maintain a fresh, pleasant environment and preserve the relaxing atmosphere.
- If you have any health concerns (cardiac, circulatory, allergies, joint issues), inform the therapist beforehand — some techniques may not be suitable.
- Wear comfortable clothing. Your therapist will explain what should be removed depending on the massage type.
At the Spa: Behaviour and Environment
- Upon arrival, you will be welcomed in a calm, private reception area where you can relax and ask any remaining questions.
- The space is designed for maximum discretion — clients do not cross paths inside the spa, ensuring a private and secure experience.
- Respect the spa’s code of conduct: therapists are massage professionals — not escorts — and do not provide sexual services. Any inappropriate request will be refused.
- When booking or upon arrival, you may choose between male or female therapists. This preference is always respected and is part of the personalized service.
- Maintain open communication. Feel free to express pressure preferences, sensitivities, or areas you would like to focus on. The therapist will adapt the session to your needs.
During the Session: Relaxation and Presence
- Allow yourself to fully relax. Focus on your breath, the sensations, and the present moment. The more you let go, the more effective the massage will be.
- If you feel discomfort or want to adjust anything (pressure, rhythm, music, etc.), communicate freely. Your therapist is trained to adapt.
- Remember that even sensual or tantric-inspired techniques remain strictly professional within the boundaries established by the spa.
- After the massage, you may take a shower, relax, and allow the effects to settle into your body and mind.
After the Session: Integration and Well-Being
- Hydrate well. Drinking water helps your body eliminate toxins and enhances the benefits of the massage.
- Avoid intense physical activity immediately afterwards. Give yourself time to rest and enjoy the feeling of calm.
- Avoid heavy meals or excessive alcohol consumption in the hours following your massage.
- Reflect on your experience — the spa welcomes feedback to continuously improve its service quality.
- If you wish to return, you can schedule your next session and inform the team of any preferences or new needs.
Why Preparation Matters
Good preparation significantly enhances the benefits of your massage — whether it is relaxing, therapeutic, sensual, erotic or tantric. Cleanliness, mental calm, clear expectations and a respectful atmosphere all contribute to:
- Deeper stress and tension relief
- Increased sense of presence and body awareness
- Longer-lasting well-being effects
- Mutual trust between client and therapist
- A more satisfying, personalised experience
