Please ensure you are freshly showered before your massage.
Prior to treatment, a 5 - 10 minute discussion with you will allow me to understand your individual circumstances and will enable the treatment to be structured to meet your needs.
It will involve a general picture of your health and lifestyle and will allow me to complete a Confidential Consultation Form. We will cover any specific areas of attention including contra-indications (these are reasons why not to massage). This is a key to your successful treatment and ensures a completely thorough, personal and safe session.
My aim is to achieve the best possible result for you. Information shared with me is completely confidential.
I am bound by a code of conduct that includes confidentiality as a member of Embody - a regulating authority for Therapists with whom I am insured. Records are retained in order to allow me to develop treatment over time as part of a series of therapies.
For a full body massage you will need to remove your clothing, keeping only your lower underwear on. I will leave the room and you will be able to undress in your own time in complete privacy. After undressing you will lie on the couch under the towel provided. You will be covered by towels throughout the massage and your modesty will be preserved at all times. Only the area being massaged is uncovered.
For Japanese Facial Massage you may remain fully clothed leaving the neck and shoulders exposed. (Its ideal to wear a vest top so the straps can be adjusted to either side of the shoulders).
Some people who have never had a massage before worry about what they will do during the massage. The answer is to make yourself comfortable and enjoy the experience. Many people close their eyes and relax totally during the session, others prefer to talk - its entirely up to you.
Throughout the session please feel free to ask questions at any time. If there is anything you like or dislike please say so and I will adapt the massage to suit you.
On completion of the massage, I will offer advice, guidance and information on after care to ensure that you gain the maximum benefit.
