New Clients
Your first visit to Pono Manawa Massage is designed to be professional, comfortable, and clear.
Before your session, you may be asked to complete an intake form with basic health history, areas of concern, and your goals for the appointment. This helps guide the session and allows your massage to be adapted to your needs.
What to expect
During your session, Jake will review your goals, discuss pressure preferences, and answer any questions before beginning. Communication is encouraged throughout the session.
Professional draping is used at all times. Your comfort, privacy, and boundaries are respected throughout the appointment.
