TEMPERATURE CONTROL Clients can't relax if they're too cold or too hot. On average, men and perimenopausal women tend to run warm, while other women get chilled more easily. An adjustable table warmer will provide warmth to the client without overheating you. A space heater is a good idea in the cooler months, especially to warm up your office first thing in the morning. In summer, a fan will prevent your room from becoming stale or muggy. Women in the midst of hot flashes will love that you have a fan at the ready! Keep an array of blankets handy, from light, summer-weight linens to cozy quilts. Choose blankets that have natural textures, are ultra-soft to the touch, and retain heat without being heavy and suffocating. Don't forget to keep your hands warm! If you're prone to chilly digits, wear gloves on your commute to work and begin to warm your hands before your client arrives. MUSIC AND AMBIENT SOUND Playing soft music will go a long way toward minimizing outside noise and enriching your client's relaxation. Music is deeply personal and many clients have strong preferences, so I keep a range of music on hand to accommodate a variety of tastes. The music you play should be commercial- and interruption-free. White noise machines are also great investments. The gentle whirring sound is relaxing and minimizes outside noise and voices.
