Your First Visit
- Message us on Facebook. Tell us it’s your first time and that you’d like to book at Albany. Masumi may be with a client, so we’ll reply as soon as we can.
- Arrive 10 minutes early to fill in a short intake form.
- Talk about your goals. Masumi will ask about your concerns, what you’ve tried before, and how you’d like to feel.
- Relax. You stay fully clothed. Please wear or bring loose pants or yoga pants, and bring a water bottle.
- See the difference. We take before and after posture photos, and give you a 30-second exercise to do at home.
Light makeup and sunscreen are fine. We use oil on the face, so bring your makeup if you’d like to reapply it.
