Start with the confirmation
Review the confirmed date, time, location, arrival instructions and any business policies before leaving home. Allow enough travel time to arrive without rushing, and contact Hanztastic if a detail is unclear rather than relying on an assumption.
Complete private intake in the right place
Follow the secure intake instructions provided after scheduling. The public website form and ordinary email are for general business questions; do not place health history, symptoms, diagnoses, medications or treatment records there.
Think about your preferences
Consider your general goals, preferred pressure, positions that feel comfortable, areas you do not want addressed and questions you want answered. You do not need special terminology—plain language is enough.
Use the opening conversation
Before the session, Ruben reviews the planned approach within his licensed scope and invites questions. This is the time to clarify draping, positioning, communication and what you would like to focus on or avoid.
Keep communicating
A preference stated at the beginning is not permanent. Ask for less or more pressure, a position or temperature change, a pause, or an end to the session whenever needed. Consent can be modified or withdrawn at any time.
Transition without rushing
After the session, take a moment to sit up and get oriented, follow any personal healthcare instructions already provided to you and ask general follow-up questions. Rebooking is optional and should fit your own preferences.

Preparation is mostly about clarity—not perfection.
- Confirm logistics before arrival.
