Typical Session

 

What happens?

When you first come for a treatment you will be asked to complete a confidential health history sheet which we will discuss and to sign a medical declaration. Please feel free to print, complete and bring with you.

You will be able to shower either before and/or after your treatment.

The therapy room is warm, quiet, clean and calm. Soft ambient music is played and essential oils and crystals are used in the room to disperse negative energies.

 

During the treatment you lie on a comfortable couch which is covered in clean towelling and single use tissue. With body massage treatments you will be given the privacy to undress to your comfort level. A full length towel is placed over the parts of your body not being treated, unless you prefer otherwise, for your modesty and comfort. I may move or adjust your body at certain times or will tell you what is needed. I will also check in with you regarding your comfort level and the level of pressure being used. Feel free to change your position at any time to make yourself more comfortable. Many people choose to just close their eyes and relax, others prefer to talk. Ask questions at any time. The only daft question is the one that isn’t asked.

 

After the treatment you will be offered water and a period of time to come back to earth and either shower and/or get dressed in privacy. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, many people experience an increase in energy that can last for days.

 

How long will it last?

An appointment is for 90 minutes. This allows time for a relaxing introduction in to a full treatment addressing any specific issues and then a gentle grounding afterwards.

 

What oils are used?

For Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage organic almond oil is used for the base oil and essential aromatherapy oils are added to enhance relaxation or to energise depending on your requirements. If you prefer not to use the essential oils, then just the fragrance free base oil will be used. The oil absorbs well in case you have other commitments after the massage. An alternative is a moisturising, water based massage cream.

 

 

Aftercare

 

To get the most out of your treatment and to take the best possible care of your self afterwards you need to:

• Drink plenty of water - to help flush out the toxins that just have been released from the tissues
• Avoid alcohol or any other stimulants (and that includes recreational drugs, tea, coffee) for at least 12 hours after the treatment as they will de-hydrate you
• Rest after the treatment - to allow the body to heal and settle. Gentle walking is recommended.
• Only eat a light healthy meal

 

Reactions are possible and are not a cause for concern, they are positive signs that your body is responding to the treatment. See "FAQ's" for a list of possible after effects.
