Treatment
Consultation
On your first visit, I will ask you some questions about your lifestyle and medical background. These questions are focused around your treatment and are completely confidential. The answers will help me tailor your treatment to meet your specific needs.
The Treatment
Depending on the type of treatment, you will need to remove some clothing. During the massage you will be covered by towels at all times, only the areas to be massaged are uncovered.
I tend to use massage oil with essential oil blends, to aid relaxation. If you are sensitive to essential oils, you may prefer a plain oil. This will be discussed at your consultation.
During the treatment, I will check that the pressure I use is comfortable and will be adjusted if too uncomfortable.
My technique tends to use a slow but deep pressure where the muscle will 'allow' me through. Although deep, this technique can be quite soporific.
After the treatment, I will encourage you to drink at least one glass of water. This allows the released toxins from the muscles to be literally washed away.
Treatment timings
90 minute appointment:
Most usually is used for a full body massage, including the stomach, face and head. What areas are massaged is depended on need and is agreed before the treatment.
60 minute appointment:
This is the most requested appointment which can include a relaxing full body massage (excluding the stomach, face and head) or can focus on a particular area - most commonly the back, neck and shoulders.
Other appointment times are available dependent on need and focus for treatment. Options will be discussed with you at consultation.
