Frequently Asked Questions
What happens at an appointment?
At your first appointment you will fill in a consultation form with medical and lifestyle details and we will talk about any areas you feel need to be worked on and the best treatment for you. If you aren't sure what you want but simply want to feel pampered and relaxed that is absolutely fine too. I leave the room while you undress and lie face down on the massage table covered by cosy towels and listen to relaxing music. At the end of the massage I leave the room for you to dress and you carry on with your day feeling warm and wonderful.
What do I wear for a massage?
You undress down to underwear for the treatment but only the area being worked on, for example an arm or leg is uncovered at a time. That area of the body is then covered again before we move onto the area. Your massage will feel professional and comfortable.
What is Holistic Massage ?
Holistic Massage means that your treatment is specific to you - feeling stressed and anxious? then soothing, sweeping stokes are probably needed that day. Trouble sleeping? maybe we look at booking your treatments at the end of the day to get you ready for some serious relaxation. Holistic means there isn't a standard back routine that is repeated time after time. I listen and provide the treatment most beneficial to you.
Who can have a massage ?
Massage is suitable for nearly everybody - however, it is not advisable to have a treatment if you are in the first trimester of pregnancy, have cancer or are suffering from a fever or a contagious disease.
Do you see male clients ?
Yes, I do see male clients but by referral only. This means that you recommend me to your husband, brother, friend etc and they mention your name when they get in touch to make their booking.
I have never had a massage what should I book?
If you have never had a massage then you are in for a treat whatever you choose. If the idea of being undressed is daunting, you can book an Indian Head massage which can be done fully dressed and sat on a chair (you just remove your shoes). This includes work on the upper back and arms, shoulders, neck, face and head. If you would like to try a massage lying down then a back, neck and shoulders is a good place to start. I always ask my clients how they are finding the pressure, a good treatment is all about communication so at any point in the treatment you can say if you need more or less.
