How RHEA keeps every massage professional

Draping and what to wear

• You undress to your comfort level. Keeping underwear on is always fine.
• You lie under fresh linens. Only the area being massaged is uncovered, then covered again.
• Your therapist leaves the room or turns away while you get on and off the table.
• Pregnant guests are positioned on their side with pillows.

A clear conduct policy

• RHEA offers professional wellness massage only.
• Any request for anything else ends the session immediately.
• Therapists can leave if they feel unsafe, and guests can stop a session at any time.
• Guests can report a concern to general@rhea.ae. We reply personally.

Booked online, with a record

• Every session is booked on www.rhea.ae and paid online by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
• You receive a confirmation with the date, time, address and massage booked.
• Prices are published on the website. There is no cash negotiation at the door.
• We never offer massage through flyers, cards left on cars or unsolicited WhatsApp messages.

Hygiene and equipment

• Fresh linens for every client.
• The table is cleaned before and after every session.
• Oils are neutral by default; tell us about allergies before the session.

Our therapists

RHEA therapists are trained and vetted before their first booking, and every therapist learns the RHEA standards for draping, conduct and setup.

They work in the same calm, quiet way on every booking, whether it is a studio in Business Bay or a villa on Palm Jumeirah.

How to choose a home massage service in Dubai

Choose a service that shows its prices and policies on its own website, lets you book and pay online with a record of the booking, and keeps you covered with linens. Avoid offers that arrive through WhatsApp messages or cards left on cars.

A professional session vs warning signs

Recognising a legitimate home massage service in Dubai

• It has its own website, with the business name, prices, areas and policies written down.
• You book and pay online, and receive a confirmation with the date, time, address and massage.
• It names an email address you can write to if something goes wrong.
• It describes the massage in plain, wellness terms, with no medical promises.
• It explains draping and what you can expect before you book.
• It does not contact you first. You found it, not the other way round.

If something feels wrong

1. Say stop

   You can stop the session at any time, for any reason, without explaining.

2. Ask the therapist to leave

   Ask them to pack up. You do not need to discuss it further on the spot.

3. Call for help if you feel unsafe

   In an emergency in Dubai, call the police on 999.

4. Write to us

   Email general@rhea.ae with your booking details and what happened. A member of the RHEA team replies personally.

Hygiene, in more detail

Hygiene at home is easy to check for yourself. This is what a clean, professional setup looks like.

• Fresh linens for you alone: you should never lie on a sheet or cover used by someone before you.
• A table that is wiped clean before you lie on it and again before it is folded away.
• Oils that come out of a closed bottle, not an open bowl from a previous visit.
• Linens and equipment that are packed away at the end, so nothing used is left behind in your home.
• For cupping, cups that look clean and are used only on oiled skin.
• Mention allergies in the booking notes and again to your therapist at the start, so the oil can be chosen with care.

Consent and communication during the session

At the start, tell your therapist what you would like from the session and any areas to avoid. You can say no to any area, such as the feet, the face or the stomach, and the massage carries on around it. Nothing about your body needs to be explained or justified.

During the session, speak up at any point: more pressure, less pressure, warmer, cooler, or a pause. A good therapist checks in, especially when they move to a new area or change technique. Silence is fine too, and you never need to apologise for asking.
