One of the best things about mobile massage is that it allows you to enjoy treatments from the comfort of your own home, but choosing what room you should be massaged in not only depends on space but the nature of the massage itself. While many may opt for the bedroom for comfort or the living room for space, if you’re planning on booking an energising massage it is worth considering having your treatment in your kitchen.

An energising massage aims to awaken your senses. Your therapist will use a combination vigorous movements like cupping and kneading alongside oils to help promote feelings of rejuvenation. The kitchen is usually full of natural light with a good flow of fresh air. Here are some tips on how to make your kitchen even more invigorating and the perfect setting for an energising treatment.

Open the windows

Fresh air is one of the easiest ways to breathe life into a room and it can also help get rid of lingering cooking smells, so be sure to open the windows a few minutes before your therapist reaches you. Opening the window is also great for ensuring the temperature isn’t too warm for your massage, a comfortably cool room is ideal.
