A large towel or a sheet is much better for covering a person as you can move it around easily. I mean, really! It’s like you’re wrapping up a return Amazon package. But you can easily end up with this kind of nonsense where draping your client can turn into a bizarrely ornate origami. I still do that if I feel the person needs that kind of protection. After all, we're all naked under our clothes.Īt the massage school I went to we had to learn how to properly drape someone. As someone who feels almost no embarrassment about the naked body, I don’t mind if people prefer to be nude – I keep them covered with a towel or sheet in any case. And men sometimes don’t know if they should keep their underwear on or not. Neither women nor men quite know how much they should take off – 'Shall I keep my bra on?' the women ask. Despite the fact that I have done this so many times, it can still be a slightly difficult moment. Over the years I have treated hundreds of clients in Stoke Newington and Islington and each time, after sitting them down and finding out what I can do for them, I ask them to undress - 'Strip off to your comfort level,' I always say.
