• Once we have finished we can move to reception area and discuss aftercare, payment and your follow up appointment – if you wish to re-book.

In Preparation for massage treatments, I suggest the following:

• Do not come on a full stomach – avoid eating a large meal just before your appointment as this can cause discomfort specially if your massage involves laying on your stomach. However be sure to have eaten something light so you also don’t feel to weak or faint.
• Avoid drinking massive amounts of liquid to avoid needing a wee during your relaxing treatment time. Be sure to have drunken a small amount of liquid to make sure you don’t feel weak or faint.
• Bring old or baggy clothes to pop on after your treatment. This is because the massage oil used will leave an oily residue on the skin which can be absorbed in by your clothes. 
• Wear old pants, boxers or bras to your appointment. There is a high change of direct massage oil to come in contact with your underwear unless your treatment is an Indian head massage.
• Remove any valuable or in the way jewellery.
• Place hair up in a high bun, this will make sure your hair doesn’t get caught or pulled during your treatment and this will help with avoiding oil going in to your hair. (If you going out shopping or seeing friends or family after then be aware that your hair could appear oily)

Home Care

• Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins. Massage aids the removal of toxins from the body and so does water so drinking water after your massage is highly important and recommended to further push your massage benefits.
• Avoid drinking alcohol or smoking for the next 24 hours. Massage aims to detoxify the body and alcohol and smoking are counter-productive as they increase the levels of toxins within the body.
• Avoid heavy meals.
• Avoid showering or bathing directly after a treatment for at least 6 – 8 hours as this will allow the essential oils used to penetrate the skin and be absorbed into the system to achieve optimum results. Avoid sauna & steam rooms for the same reason.
• Avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight, and sun beds if oily residue is on the skin.
• Try to stay relax by avoiding physical or mental activity’s.

• Clients will be given extra time to get undressed and dressed in private.
• The use of heated massage oil, eye masks and aromatherapy diffuser.
• Chocolate on Pillow
• Room heaters with blankets and massage probes (if needed)
• Uplifting Quote and refreshments waiting for you after.
• The couch is a 4 motion electric motor which can be lowered to the ground for clients that struggle to hop on and off the couch and is also very comfortable to be lead on for long periods of time.

• Leave the massage oil in your hair or on your skin for at least 2 hours after you treatment. This will allow your body or hair to exorb all the vitamins and the aromatherapy scents which will continue to aid relaxation.
• In a money free world a massage a week would be highly recommended for our physical and mental health but this isn’t always affordable or ideal however your can extend the time in-between treatment’s and still receive the same benefits. Try indulging in to a massage once a month or every 6 weeks and see if you feel any different after your 5th massage. This is something I also do personally and absolutely love.
