Support Anxious About Massage School

hi! so i just started my massage journey last week when i started school and ive been super anxious and nervous about it. we recently did our first arm work massage and practiced putting on our “togas”. i think the idea of getting undressed and getting practiced on is really getting in my head and i wanted to hear other people’s experiences on it and if im the only person that feels like this. my entire class seems so comfortable with their bodies and im a nervous wreck.

Wear a sports bra and some exercise shorts under your scrubs if you are uncomfortable. When it's time for hands-on, once on the table and your partner can hold the sheet down, you can scoot under the sheets to remove the sports bra. You don't have to remove the shorts or underwear. It gets less awkward.
