Beat the Holiday Rush: Why Booking Your Massage in Advance Is Essential🎄

The holiday season is one of the busiest and often most stressful times of the year. Between shopping, traveling, cooking, and spending time with family, it’s easy to forget about your own well-being. But self-care during the holidays isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. At A Better Body Massage, we believe everyone deserves a moment of peace amid the holiday hustle. That’s why booking your massage appointment in advance is the best gift you can give yourself (or someone you love).

1. Guarantee Your Preferred Time and Therapist

The holidays are the peak season for massage therapy. Clients often book weeks in advance to secure their favorite therapists and the times that fit their schedules. By planning ahead, you’re more likely to:

  • Get the appointment time that works best for you (whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends).

  • Work with your preferred therapist who already understands your needs and preferences.

  • Avoid last-minute scheduling stress during an already busy time of year.

2. Reduce Holiday Stress Before It Peaks

Stress builds quickly during the holidays. Crowded stores, financial pressure, travel logistics, and family obligations can all leave you feeling overwhelmed. Massage therapy helps lower stress hormones, reduce tension, and improve circulation allowing you to feel calmer, sleep better, and handle holiday demands with more ease. Booking early ensures you’ll have that time carved out to decompress and recharge.

3. Treat Yourself While Taking Care of Others

The holiday season is all about giving but don’t forget to give to yourself. Taking time for a massage is a powerful way to practice self-care so you can show up as your best self for others. By scheduling your session early, you create a “non-negotiable” spot on your calendar for your own well-being.

4. Plan for Gift Certificates & Couples Sessions

Massage gift certificates are one of the most popular holiday presents. If you’re thinking of gifting a massage or booking a couples massage you’ll want to plan ahead to ensure availability. Our therapists book up quickly for paired or back-to-back sessions in December. Booking now means you’ll secure the perfect time for you and your loved one.

5. Make It Part of Your Holiday Tradition

When you schedule your massage in advance, it becomes part of your holiday routine just like decorating the tree or baking cookies. It’s something to look forward to that signals relaxation, peace, and renewal amid the holiday bustle.

6. Support Local Wellness Businesses

Booking early also helps local wellness businesses like A Better Body Massage prepare and provide the best possible service. Early bookings help us staff properly, schedule therapists efficiently, and make sure your experience is seamless and stress-free.


Tips for Booking Your Holiday Massage

  • Book at least 3–4 weeks in advance. This is especially important if you have limited availability or a preferred therapist.

  • Consider weekday or off-peak hours. If your schedule is flexible, these times are often easier to secure.

  • Think about gift certificates early. They’re great for stocking stuffers, office gifts, or loved ones who could use a little stress relief.

  • Join our email list or follow us on social media. We often announce holiday specials or added availability to our subscribers first.
