Shiatsu is a full body, clothed massage which may include (but is not limited to):

	arms and hands
	legs and feet
	stomach ("hara") so please eat lightly
	back of neck (please keep jewelry to a minimum)
	face (little to no make-up is preferred)
	scalp

have used recreational drugs or alcohol within 12 hours of your appointment

are overly fatigued

have eaten a full meal within 1 hours of your appointment

have just exercised (including dancing/performing) or will exercise soon after receiving Shiatsu.

Please wait to exercise for at least 30 minutes before/after your massage.

	have used recreational drugs or alcohol within 12 hours of your appointment
	are overly fatigued
	have eaten a full meal within 1 hours of your appointment
	have just exercised (including dancing/performing) or will exercise soon after receiving Shiatsu.
