Your visit
My aim is to create a space and experience where you feel safe and held and can let go of everything you’re carrying. A place where you can be vulnerable, open and free. Sometimes this means we may have a good belly laugh together, sometimes your tears may come. They are all welcome.
My approach is to treat you as a whole woman, not a list of individual symptoms, so you can look forward to leaving your treatment feeling really nurtured and supported.
Payment is in cash or online (within 24 hours) following your treatment please.
If you’re going to be late, please call to let me know. Unfortunately in most cases this will mean your appointment time will need to be adjusted.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR MASSAGE
On booking your massage, I will check if you have any medical conditions – very few are contra-indicated for massage so in most cases we can go ahead and book your appointment.
On arrival, we will complete a brief health consultation together to discuss your needs on the day and getting the most out of your treatment – perhaps you have a specific area of pain/tension, feel very stressed or just want to relax. I enjoy getting to know you and hope to have a long lasting professional relationship with you. If you have any questions about the benefits of massage for any particular health or wellbeing issue, please don’t hesitate to ask – I will be delighted to discuss with you, in complete confidence, how massage may be beneficial to you.
I will then leave the room to enable you to get undressed in private. As you will be covered up during the massage, except for the area I am working on, you can rest assured that your modesty will be preserved at all times. If you’re uncomfortable at any time, too hot or cold or the pressure is too much, or not enough, just let me know.
Most people get the most benefit from their massage if they relax and drift off. However, feel free to chat if you wish. The lighting will be low, gentle music will be played and the room will be scented with essential oils.
After your massage has finished, I will again leave the room to enable you to get dressed in private. Before you leave we’ll discuss your aftercare advice and any stretching exercises that may benefit you.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR YOGA NIDRA APPOINTMENT
You’ll lie on a padded mat (or sit if you are unable to lie down) in my clean, warm, calm treatment room and be guided through breathing and yoga nidra techniques to calm your body and mind. There will be periods of quiet, allowing you to immerse yourself in the experience. We’ll finish with a cup of herbal tea to enable you to leave feeling ready for the rest of your day.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR NUTRITION APPOINTMENT
We’ll speak on the telephone first to understand your needs. This means I can prepare for your appointment in advance and be sure I am the right person to advise you. We will discuss simple nutritional tweaks to optimise your health and delve deeper into behavioural changes that might help you to embed greater nutritional benefit in your lifestyle. Please remember that you are in control of what you put in your mouth so I can advise you but you are the only one who can actually make these changes happen! If you have a medical condition, I am not insured or qualified to help you with this, so please be completely honest about this in the initial telephone consultation.
