11 FAQs found
Can anyone have a massage?
Most people can enjoy the benefits of massage therapy, however there are some situations where treatment may need to be adjusted or postponed. Before your first appointment you will be asked to complete a short consultation form so I can understand your health history and ensure the treatment is safe and suitable for you.
If you have certain medical conditions such as recent surgery, infections, skin conditions, blood clots, or if you are pregnant, please mention this during your consultation. In many cases massage can still be carried out, but I may adapt the techniques or avoid certain areas of the body.
The consultation process ensures your treatment is safe, comfortable, and tailored specifically to your needs. If you are ever unsure whether massage is suitable for you, please feel free to get in touch before booking and we will be happy to advise.

Do I need to book an appointment in advance?
Yes, appointments are required to ensure you receive the full time and attention for your treatment. You can easily book online through our booking system, or contact us if you need help choosing the right treatment. If you can not find an appointment at a suitable time please join the waiting list or drop me a message, sometimes appointments become available with rescheduling.
What should I expect during my first massage?
Before your first treatment you will be asked to complete a short consultation form so I can understand your health history and any areas of concern. Your therapist will then discuss your needs and tailor the massage to suit you, ensuring you feel comfortable throughout the session.
What should I wear to my massage appointment?
You should wear comfortable clothing to your appointment. During the treatment you will be given privacy to undress to a suitable level and will be professionally draped with towels at all times so that only the area being treated is exposed.
How often should I have a massage?
This depends on your lifestyle and personal needs. Regular massage is extremely beneficial but we can work together to find a schedule that suits you and your schedule.
Will the massage hurt?
Massage should not be painful. Some techniques used to release tension may feel slightly intense, but your therapist will always work within your comfort level. Please communicate during the treatment so the pressure can be adjusted if needed.
How early should I arrive for my appointment?
We recommend arriving a few minutes early so you have time to settle in and complete any consultation forms if required. This ensures you receive the full length of your treatment.
When you arrive please take a seat outside my room, I will come out to meet you.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?
If you need to cancel or change your appointment, please try to give as much notice as possible. This allows the time to be offered to another client.
What are the benefits of massage therapy?
Massage can help reduce muscle tension, relieve stress, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Many clients also find it helpful for improving sleep and overall wellbeing.
Can I choose the pressure of my massage?
Absolutely. Every treatment is tailored to you. Whether you prefer a gentle relaxing massage or deeper pressure to release tension, I will tailor the treatment to suit your preference.
Do you have parking on site?
Yes, there is a free car park on site and additional free street parking on the nearby roads.
