TOP QUESTIONS
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST TREATMENT?
The purpose of the treatment is for you to de-stress and relax and hopefully drift off somewhere between reality and dreaming! This is when your muscles soften, your body enters into rest and digest mode and the restorative magic happens.
Please do not spend your hour worrying about the shape of your body or the dry skin on your feet or that you haven't shaved your legs for 2 years! I promise you, those things do not concern me in the slightest! Come as you are, you are enough.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Wear anything you like to the massage. Usually during the massage, a client will undress down to knickers (if they feel comfortable doing this). You will be covered by a towel at all times. I will expose the area I am working on (back, leg, arm), but the rest of you will be covered up. You should feel safe and secure at all times, and if you don't, please let me know and we will make any necessary adjustments.
WHAT IF I AM NOT COMFORTABLE?
There is nothing worse than having a massage where you're not comfortable!
Massage can have lots of different effects on the body, physically and somatically. You may not feel comfortable lying in a certain position, you may feel cold, not happy with the pressure, or you may need to blow your nose or go to the loo halfway through.
​
Massage can also bring unexpected emotions to the surface. This is all perfectly normal and completely understandable.
​
If at any point you feel any discomfort physically or emotionally, please just let me know and we can make any relevant adjustments to ensure that you are comfortable.
​
The massage treatment is for you, be fussy!
​
WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER MY MASSAGE?
Aromatherapy is cleansing and detoxifying so it is important that you drink lots of water or herbal tea following your massage to help with elimination of toxins.
​
Where possible, rest and relax after your massage to help your body heal and avoid strenuous exercise.
Try to avoid alcohol, unhealthy food or caffeine for at least 12 hours, as their stimulating effects may inhibit the detoxifying benefits of the massage.
​
Try to avoid washing the essential oils off the skin for the following 12 hours to maximise the benefit of the oils.
DO YOU TREAT MEN AND WOMEN?
At the moment, I am focusing on treating women. Women's health is an area that I am very passionate about and am keen to specialise in. So for the time being, I will be focusing on supporting women through the different stages of their life with Aromatherapy and Massage.
IS THERE PARKING?
There are parking restrictions 10am - 11am on Magdalen Road and the surrounding roads.
If you need to park, let me know beforehand and I can move my car up on the drive and 2 cars can just about fit on!
​
DO YOU OFFER PREGNANCY MASSAGE?
