Table Talk Part 3!
This one’s for my new clients! Here’s a little sneak peek at the “homework” I have you fill out before your first session. Having an accurate, up-to-date health history helps me make sure you’re getting the most out of your massage.
Did you know certain medications can affect how your body responds to massage? Or that for clients with diabetes, massage can influence how the body produces and absorbs glucose? I always keep juice and fruit snacks on hand just in case, but noting that information on your health history helps me stay alert to any changes.
Those are just a couple of reasons why your health history form matters!
You’ll also receive a copy of my Policies and Procedures form for you to sign.
This gives you a clear idea of my standards and expectations—so you always know what to expect from your massage experience.

Table Talk- Part 4
Hi! I'm Kayla - the heart (and hands!) behind Dwell Massage Studio I opened Dwell because I wanted to create a cozy space where people could slow down, breathe, and really take time for themselves. My approach to massage is all about balance - a mix of relaxation and therapeutic work that helps your body feel better and your mind feel lighter. But why did I want to open my own studio? Since I could remember, I knew I wanted to open my own business, but didn't know doing what. When I decided the Westfield area was home, I knew that i needed to bring something to the community. Opening my own studio meant I could take the personal, intentional approach I knew was important.
I completed my massage therapy program at Northcentral Technical College in Wausau, where I spent a year learning, practicing, and completely talling in love with this profession. I graduated in the middle of May, took my state boards (and passed!) and then it was all hands on deck for opening day on June 1st. (Shoutout to my husband for the long nights of painting, putting together furniture, and everything else on my honey-do list).
A little about me outside the studio: I love reading, journaling, and watching documentaries, and I'm hoping to start my very first garden this spring (wish me lucki). I'm a coffee addict (yes, addict) and love to bake sourdough.
If we haven't met yet, l'a love to welcome you in. Whether you need deep relaxation, pain relief, or just an hour of calm to recharge - Dwell is your place to rest and renew.

Table Talk, Part 2!
With cold season right around the corner, I thought it’d be a great time to share a little about my cleaning and sanitation protocols!
Cleanliness and hygiene are something I’m truly passionate about when it comes to massage. We all have different health conditions and sensitivities, which makes it incredibly important that our professional spaces stay clean and well-sanitized. Here’s what that looks like at my studio:
✨ Between each client:
All linens are freshly washed — that includes the fitted sheet, flat sheet, blanket, face cradle cover, and any towels used during your session.
✨ Surfaces and equipment:
I disinfect everything after each appointment — the table, face cradle, bolster, bench (where we do your intake), my stool, the doorknob, and the entry table where you set your belongings. I use a hospital-grade disinfectant called Cavicide, which works quickly and protects against bacteria such as MRSA and tuberculosis, as well as common cold and flu germs.
✨ Air quality:
I keep two air purifiers running in the room to maintain a clean environment and reduce lingering scents like perfume or deodorant that could bother the next client.
✨ Tools and creams:
Any cups, hot stones, or bamboo tools are washed with Dawn dish soap and then disinfected with Cavicide. The cream I use for massage is pre-portioned for each client — no double dipping!
✨ Extra cleaning:
We also have a professional cleaner who comes in once a week for a deeper clean throughout the building.
✨ A peek at my table setup:
Pictured below is my massage table and all its cozy layers — starting with a 2-inch memory foam topper that lets you sink right in, followed by a table warmer (a must-have this time of year!). Then comes a waterproof mattress protector to prevent any transfer of body oils or sweat between clients, and finally, your fresh sheets and blanket.
We live in a world where many people — especially those with autoimmune conditions or sensitive immune systems — are working extra hard to stay healthy. My goal is to create a space where your body can rest, recover, and take a break from all that effort.

Over the next couple of weeks, I wanted to hop on here and discuss all things about massage. So here’s week one of Table Talk (pun intended 😉)
One of the most common things people ask before a massage is about un******ng. Here’s my take on it:
When you come in for a massage, I tell you to only undress to your comfort level. But what does that mean???
Some clients prefer to fully undress, others keep certain clothing on — both are completely okay. I tell my female clients if they leave their bra and underwear on, I’ll do the glutes through the blanket. When you’re laying face down, I ask if I can unclasp the bra clip so I don’t get cream on it. (The cream doesn’t wash out well and it can start to turn rancid). But if you’re not comfortable with that , that’s okay too! I’ll just work around whatever clothing you leave on. For my male clients, I’ll do the glutes through the sheet as well. When you’re lying face up, I pull the sheet and blanket back just so I can see your collar bones. You’ll always be properly draped, and your comfort, safety, and boundaries are my top priority. You can’t relax if you’re not comfortable!
This space is about helping you feel relaxed and cared for — never pressured. 💛
