At Metztōna Massage & Wellness, I take special care to accommodate the needs of my neurodivergent clients. This includes offering flexible communication styles, clear explanations of the massage process, sensory accommodations (such as adjusting lighting, music, or scents), and honoring your preference for verbal or non-verbal communication during sessions. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, safe, and supported.

Yes! I understand that sensory sensitivities vary widely, and I want to make sure the space feels just right for you. You can request changes to the lighting (dimming or brightening), the music (or even silence), and the use of scents (essential oils or no fragrances at all). Please feel free to communicate any preferences you have before or during the session.

Absolutely. I encourage you to feel comfortable and at ease during your session. If you need to move, stim, or take breaks at any time, it’s perfectly fine. There’s no "right" or "wrong" way to experience a massage, and I will adjust to what makes you feel most relaxed and safe.

I completely understand that touch can be overwhelming for some people. We can discuss your comfort levels with touch beforehand, and I can modify the session to ensure it feels comfortable for you. I’m happy to start with lighter pressure or avoid certain areas if needed, and we can communicate throughout to adjust as you need.

Your comfort is my top priority. If at any point during the massage you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or uncomfortable, we can stop the session or take a break. I’ll check in with you during the session to ensure you’re feeling okay, and we can discuss a safe signal beforehand if you prefer non-verbal communication.

Of course! I can walk you through the entire process, explaining each step, the techniques I use, and how I’ll approach your specific needs. If you’d like more details or prefer certain parts of the session explained in-depth, we can do that. I want you to feel informed and at ease.

I offer multiple ways to communicate, whether through email, phone, or even text messaging for scheduling and discussing your needs--I have even included space in the intake form for you to specify your needs beforehand. During the session, you can let me know if you prefer frequent check-ins, minimal talking, or no verbal interaction at all. Your comfort is my guide.

Yes! We can use grounding techniques, guided breathing exercises, or breaks to help manage any sensory overload. Additionally, I can limit the sensory input by adjusting sounds, touch intensity, or other factors to support your nervous system in relaxing. I can also provide sensory input, if that would be helpful, such as weighted pressure, heat, or white noise.

Yes, if having a support person (or comfort item like a weighted blanket, fidget toy, etc.) would help you feel more comfortable, you are welcome to bring them. Just let me know in advance, and we can make sure everything is set up for your needs.

I understand that processing time varies from person to person. I’m happy to take things at a pace that works for you and provide clear, concise explanations when needed. We can take extra time to go over instructions or adjustments to ensure you feel informed and comfortable before we begin.

I offer a range of massage techniques that can be customized to suit your sensory needs. Gentle, rhythmic techniques such as Swedish massage can be calming, while deeper techniques like Myofascial Release can help with body tension. We can discuss which types of touch feel best for you, and I’ll adapt to your preferences.

If you feel a shutdown or meltdown coming on, please let me know (either verbally or with a pre-agreed signal). We can pause the session, create a calming environment, or stop if necessary. My goal is to support you in whatever way helps you feel safe and comfortable.
