Frequently Asked Questions

How should I choose the massage duration?

60 Minutes (1 Hour)
Ideal for general relaxation and light tension. This package provides a full-body massage, but does not allow for deep focus on specific problem areas.

90 Minutes (1.5 Hours)
Perfect if you want a full-body massage plus focused work on one specific area (such as shoulders, back, or legs). A great balance between relaxation and targeted treatment.

120 Minutes (2 Hours)
Best option if you need detailed attention on 2–3 problem areas (for example, neck & shoulders, lower back, and legs), while still receiving a full-body massage. Provides the most complete and therapeutic experience.

Which type of massage should I choose?

Swedish (Relaxation) Massage
If your main goal is to reduce stress, release daily tension, and enjoy full-body relaxation, this is the best choice. It’s ideal for anyone who feels mentally and physically tired and simply wants to unwind.

Sports Massage
If you have muscle soreness, stiffness after exercise, intense training, or chronic pain, sports massage is recommended. It uses stronger techniques to target deep muscle layers, improve mobility, and support recovery.

Mix Massage (Combination)
If you feel that you need both relaxation and therapeutic deep work—for example, you want stress relief but also have moderate muscle pain—then mix massage is the perfect balance. It combines techniques from Swedish and sports massage, tailored to your needs.

Is massage only for relaxation?

No. Massage can be both relaxing and therapeutic. Sports massage, for example, targets muscle tension, supports injury recovery, and enhances athletic performance.

What types of massage do you offer?

At Coco Therapies, I offer sports massage, deep tissue massage, relaxation massage, and personalized therapy sessions. Each treatment is tailored to your specific needs.

Is massage painful?

Therapeutic massages like sports or deep tissue may feel intense in certain areas, but it’s a “good pain” that helps release muscle knots. Your comfort is always the top priority, and pressure is adjusted to your preference.

What should I do before my first session?

Wear comfortable clothes and avoid heavy meals right before the session. A short consultation will be done before we begin.

How long does a session last?

Sessions typically last 60, 90, or 120 minutes depending on your needs and preferences.

How can I book an appointment?

You can easily book a session using our online booking system. Book now.

What if I’m late to my appointment?

If there’s another client scheduled right after you, your session may need to be rescheduled. However, if timing allows, a one-time adjustment may be made to accommodate you. Please aim to arrive on time. Your session begins once you arrive at the clinic.

Do I need to shower before or after a massage?

A quick shower before your session is helpful for hygiene and muscle warmth. Showering afterward is optional, though it’s recommended if oils or balms are used during the massage.

Is massage safe during pregnancy?

Certain types of massage can be performed during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters using specific techniques. However, I currently do not offer pregnancy massage.

When should I avoid getting a massage?

Massage is not recommended if you have a fever, active infection, open wounds, certain heart conditions, or during the first trimester of pregnancy. When in doubt, consult your doctor beforehand.

How will I feel after the massage?

You may feel relaxed, slightly sore, or even sleepy. Drinking plenty of water after your session helps the muscles recover more effectively.

Where does the massage take place?

Sessions are held in a quiet and comfortable therapy room in Dublin. Full address and location details are shared after booking.

Do you offer home visits?

Currently, all sessions take place at the studio. Mobile services are not available at this time.

Do I need to undress completely during the massage?

If you’re comfortable, full undressing is recommended for a better experience. You will always be properly draped with a towel, and only the area being worked on will be exposed. If you prefer, you can also keep your underwear on—your comfort and privacy are always respected.

Am I expected to talk during the session?

That’s up to you. Many clients prefer silence to fully relax, but you’re welcome to speak up if you need anything or feel any discomfort during the session.

How can I pay?

Payments can be made via cash or bank transfer. Full details will be provided once your booking is confirmed.

Do you offer packages or discounts?

Yes, regular clients can benefit from package deals or seasonal promotions. Contact me for more information.

Do you offer any “special requests” during massage (e.g. happy ending)?

No. Coco Therapies is a professional and ethical massage service. Any inappropriate requests will not be tolerated. Please be respectful.

Do you offer tantric massage?

No. I do not offer tantric massage.
