What to expect from your first treatment

Before your first treatment please book a client consultation call. This is a chance to go through your reasons for choosing the treatment, what you would like to get from it and your medical history to make sure the treatment is suitable for you.

Please also read the Covid 19 policy before your treatment.

Part of the beauty of being treated in the privacy of someone's home is that you can come as you are. There is no need to do your hair. Don't bother with make up. Just wear what makes you feel cosy and relaxed. Below are some treatment specific guidelines:

Swedish Massage

I will leave the room whilst you undress down to your underwear and make yourself comfortable face down on the couch under towels. The towels will remain draped over you and only the area being worked on will be uncovered. Your modesty is protected at all times.

Every effort will be made to make you comfortable during your massage. Oil is applied to the skin so that the massage is more comfortable for you.

Swedish massage is a mix of soothing strokes and deep pressure work. If you are tense you may find some techniques slightly uncomfortable but this should not feel painful so feel free to let me know if the pressure is too great. Throughout the massage you will be encouraged to say if the pressure is right for you. This is your treatment and it should be relaxing and enjoyable for you. The passive stretches require me to move your limb into the stretch, this is always to your level of comfort.

At the end of the treatment I will leave the room so you can change.

It is always advisable to drink plenty of water following a treatment. You may also feel cold after a treatment so it's always a good idea to have an extra layer to wear on the journey home.

The Tingley Method

I will leave the room whilst you undress down to your underwear and make yourself comfortable face down on the couch under towels. The towels will remain draped over you and only the area being worked on will be uncovered. Your modesty is protected at all times.

Every effort will be made to make you comfortable during your massage. Oil is applied to the skin so that the massage is more comfortable for you.

The massage is a very light touch massage directly over the spine and is incredibly soothing and relaxing. After the massage you will be covered in the towels and you will feel me gently lay my hands on your back. You may feel heat, cold or tingling where my hands are. I will finish the treatment by gently holding your feet.

I will leave the room whilst you change.

Reiki

If you have booked a reiki treatment then you will remain fully clothed for your treatment. Please wear comfortable clothing.

Make yourself comfortable on the couch lying or sitting face up and cover yourself with a towel.

My hands will be placed on or above certain areas of the body that correspond to energy centres known as chakras. Some people feel warmth or coolness coming from my hands, others report tingling and some see colours. I will finish the treatment by gently holding your feet.

You should feel relaxed and comfortable throughout. Almost everyone reports sleeping well following their reiki treatment.
