You can have a massage – but it’s best to get a doctors clearance first, as well as it would be a good idea to have your DR refer you to a specific clinic or therapist. Good therapists know about the condition and will treat accordingly. I personally don’t have any clients with epilepsy – but my instructors in school had several. Even a few therapists themselves were epileptic.
As for other sorts of pampering – again it would be wise to get a doctors clearance. But for most things, I think you should be OK.

You should first check with your doctor.
In general, you want to avoid anything with a lot of heat, such as hot tubs, saunas, and the like.
Other than that, go for it and have a great time.
All the best.
