I absolutely love the service TMC@K provides! I have had massage therapy from Elaine Miller ever since I was pregnant with my firstborn. I have always felt very comfortable and at ease during the massage session and that I was treated with the utmost respect. The relaxation and tension release a massage provides cannot adequately be put into words.

Thank you to Elaine and the staff at TMC@K! I highly recommend your services!

If you get a massage at a spa or hotel, a 15% to 20% tip is standard if you were pleased with the services.

On the other hand, there are no real ground rules or norms when it comes to massage in a medical setting. Some massage therapists and massage associations I asked said tipping isn't appropriate in a medical or clinical setting.

If you're not sure, don't be afraid to ask if tipping is customary. You can call ahead to ask if you don't want to do it face to face.

If tipping isn't the norm, you can always show your appreciation by referring friends, family and co-workers to the massage therapist.

At Therapeutic Massage Center at Kingsdale, tipping is greatly appreciated by all our therapists; however, some regular clients prefer to tip only during the holiday season.
