Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What types of massage do you offer?

    We offer a wide range of massage services, including Swedish massage, deep tissue, hot stone, prenatal, sports massage, aromatherapy, and couples massages. Availability may vary by therapist.

  • 2. How do I know which massage is best for me?

    If you’re looking for relaxation, Swedish or aromatherapy massages are great options. For muscle tension or pain relief, deep tissue or sports massage may be more effective. Our therapists are happy to recommend the best option based on your needs.

  • 3. Do I need to book an appointment in advance?

    Appointments are highly recommended to ensure availability, especially during evenings and weekends. Walk-ins are welcome but not guaranteed.


  • 4. What should I expect during my first massage?

    Your therapist will discuss your goals, areas of tension, and pressure preferences before the session begins. You’ll be asked to undress to your comfort level and will remain properly draped throughout the massage.

  • 5. How long are the massage sessions?

    We offer 30-minute, 60-minute, 90-minute, and 120-minute massage sessions. Specialty massages may vary.


  • 6. Is massage therapy painful?

    Massages should not be overly painful. Deep tissue work may cause some discomfort, but you should always communicate with your therapist if the pressure is too much or if you prefer lighter pressure.

  • Why do I feel sore after a massage?

    Post-massage soreness is normal, especially after deep tissue work. The pressure can create mild muscle stress, increase circulation, and release built-up tension, which may leave you feeling tender for 24–72 hours, similar to post-workout soreness.

  • What's the difference between Swedish and deep tissue massage?

    Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes to ease tension and promote circulation — ideal for stress relief and first-time clients. Deep tissue targets deeper muscle layers to break up adhesions and address chronic pain. Your therapist can recommend which best suits your current needs.
  • How often should you get a professional facial?

    Most skin care professionals recommend a facial every four to six weeks, which aligns with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle. In Orlando's humid, sunny climate, more frequent visits can help manage congestion, sun damage, and hydration imbalances that at-home routines alone can't fully correct.
  • What does a body scrub or mud wrap actually do?

    Sugar scrubs exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin, while detox mud wraps draw out impurities and nourish the skin with minerals. Both treatments improve circulation and leave skin noticeably softer — making them ideal companions to massage or facial services.
  • Can acupuncture help with chronic pain and stress?

    Yes — acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins and regulates neural pathways, providing clinically supported relief from chronic pain, migraines, and stress-related conditions. At Lotus Blossom Spa, treatments are performed by licensed Acupuncture Physician Dr. Weijen Chen using individualized Traditional Chinese Medicine protocols.
  • What should you expect during a waxing appointment?

    A waxing session removes hair from the root using warm wax applied to the skin and quickly removed. Results typically last three to six weeks. Arriving with clean, dry skin and avoiding sun exposure or exfoliation for 24 hours before and after your appointment helps minimize irritation.
  • Is infrared sauna therapy different from a traditional sauna?

    Unlike traditional saunas that heat the surrounding air, infrared saunas use light waves to warm your body directly at a lower ambient temperature. This allows for deeper muscle relaxation and more effective toxin removal while feeling more comfortable — making sessions easier to tolerate for longer periods.
  • What are the benefits of a spa membership program?

    A membership provides consistent access to services like monthly massage credits and exclusive discounts, making regular wellness care more affordable. Consistency is key — clients who receive massage or skin care on a scheduled basis typically experience greater cumulative benefits, from reduced chronic tension to improved skin health over time.
  • How does a couples massage session work?

    Couples massage takes place in a shared room where two people receive simultaneous massages from separate therapists. Each person's treatment is individually tailored to their needs, so one partner can receive a deep tissue session while the other enjoys a gentler Swedish massage — making it ideal for partners with different preferences.
  • Why is reflexology considered a therapeutic treatment?

    Reflexology applies targeted pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears that correspond to organs and systems throughout the body. It's believed to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and support the body's natural balance. Many clients find it especially effective for stress relief and fatigue recovery.
  • What skin concerns can a signature facial address?

    Signature facials are designed to treat dehydration, dullness, uneven tone, congestion, and early signs of aging. Licensed aestheticians customize each session with targeted serums, steam, extractions, and masks based on your specific skin type — delivering results that over-the-counter products typically can't replicate on their own.
