What happens at my first visit?
Your therapist will ask a few quick questions about how you're feeling, the pressure you like and any areas to focus on or avoid. Then you'll have the private room to get comfortable before your massage begins.
How early should I arrive?
We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment. This gives you time to park, check in, settle in and prepare for your treatment. Please arrive on time so you can enjoy your full session.
Where do I park?
Parking is free for our guests at 115 N 1st Street: choose from a free parking lot, a free multi-storey car park or free street parking.
What should I wear?
Wear whatever is comfortable. For most massages you undress to your own comfort level, and you stay covered with a sheet the whole time except for the area being worked on.
How much pressure will I get?
That's up to you. Every session is tailored, from light and soothing to deep and intense, and you can ask your therapist to adjust at any time. For the deepest work, book the Beat Me Up Massage™.
Which massage should I choose?
To relax, try the Alpha Signature Massage™. For tight muscles, choose the Beat Me Up Massage™ or Alpha Thai Massage™. To reduce puffiness, book Lymphatic Drainage.
Do you offer couples massage?
Yes. Couples Massage™ takes place side by side in our couples room, each with your own therapist. It's priced per guest, from $140.
Can I get a massage while pregnant?
Yes, we offer a Pregnancy Massage adapted for comfort. Please check with your doctor or midwife before booking if your pregnancy is high-risk or you have any medical concerns.
What is your cancellation policy?
We ask for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or change an appointment. Late cancellations and missed appointments may be subject to a cancellation fee. See our studio policies.
Do I need a card to book?
Yes. A card on file is required to secure your reservation.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes. Buy a gift card online and it can be used toward any service.
Still have a question?
Call us, or go ahead and book. We'll take care of the rest.
