What to Expect in a Professional Massage

Whether you’re new to massage or it’s been a while, understanding what to expect can help you relax and get the most out of your treatment. At Marques De Frere in Bedford, we provide a professional, calming experience — whether you’re here solo or with a partner.

At our studio, your comfort, safety, and well-being come first. Here’s how we ensure a professional, respectful experience every time:

1. You’ll always be appropriately draped.

Only the area being worked on will be uncovered at any time. This protects your privacy while allowing your therapist to work effectively. Your therapist will control the draping throughout the treatment.

2. Underwear stays on.

We are committed to maintaining a safe, professional, and respectful environment at all times. As the owners—and as a couple—we take pride in upholding high standards that reflect our shared values of care, integrity, and professionalism.

Clients will remain appropriately draped at all times, with only the area being worked on exposed.

• Draping is controlled by the therapist throughout the session.

• Underwear must be worn during all treatments—no exceptions.

• Any requests for nudity, sexualized services, or fetish-based treatments will result in immediate termination of the session and permanent refusal of service.

• The above is standard practice in professional massage therapy.

This is a professional massage therapy setting, focused solely on health and well-being, not a fetish space. Let’s keep it that way.

3. Clear communication is encouraged.

Before your massage begins, your therapist will check in about areas you’d like to focus on—or avoid. During the session, you’re always welcome to speak up if anything feels uncomfortable or needs adjusting.

4. Your therapist is a trained professional.

Massage therapy is a skilled, regulated practice. Our therapists are qualified and experienced, and our space is designed for wellness—not for entertainment, role play, or personal gratification.

5. Respect goes both ways.

We ask that clients treat our therapists with the same professionalism and courtesy they receive. Any inappropriate or sexualised behaviour will result in immediate termination of the session and future bookings being declined.

Why this matters:

Massage therapy can be transformative—not just for your body, but for your mood, your stress levels, and your sleep. We want you to feel safe, cared for, and respected, every time you walk through the door.
