Preparation
Please attend to personal hygiene before you attend. It is best to avoid a heavy meal just before the session, and you must not be intoxicated or under the influence of recreational drugs. You should not attend if you have a cold, ‘flu or other infectious diseases.
Age, Body Shape, Disability, Health, Pregnancy
You must be at least 18. I do not treat minors. I am happy to treat anyone regardless of body shape. I welcome people with disabilities. don’t hesitate to get in touch with me about any access requirements. There are no specific health contraindications, but please tell me about any serious health issues when making initial contact. I am always happy to treat pregnant women and have special techniques and arrangements to ensure their safety and comfort.
Disrobing, Draping, Boundaries
It is important that you feel comfortable during your treatment. I appreciate that everyone has different comfort zones, and I can adapt my work to suit your feelings. We will always have a full and open discussion of boundaries in the first session. It is easiest for me to work with unrestricted access to your skin, but I can work with you fully undressed, partially undressed or through thin cotton clothing, depending on what is right for you. I will use towels to provide whatever level of draping is necessary for your comfort and modesty.
I will always leave the room while undressing and dressing unless you tell me this is unnecessary.
Oils
I make very sparing use of oils and prefer a top-quality massage oil blend that is lightly scented or unscented. This lubricant does not leave grease marks on clothing or make your skin feel sticky after the treatment.
After the session
After the session, it is best to allow time to let things integrate. These treatments are powerful and resonate throughout your whole system. Be gentle with yourself and be aware. This is not the time to party or get into stressful life situations. Nor should you engage in strenuous exercise on the day of your treatment. You may feel relaxed and floaty, or you may feel drained or emotional. These are normal responses to deep holistic bodywork. Occasionally, you may feel soreness or stiffness after intensive work particularly if your body is unused to deep treatment. Such discomfort usually passes within a couple of days.
