Massage Faqs

Before your first session, you’ll receive a short health and wellbeing form to complete, so I can understand your general health, lifestyle, and any current or past conditions that might affect your treatment.

When you arrive, we’ll take a few minutes to talk about what’s been happening for you physically and emotionally, and what you’d like support with. Together we’ll agree on the focus of the session, whether that’s easing muscle tension, calming your nervous system, or exploring how stress might be showing up in the body.

Every treatment is led by your comfort and pace. The session then flows naturally, combining massage, breathwork, and simple body awareness techniques to help you release tension and leave feeling calmer, more grounded, and at ease.

Your comfort always comes first. After our consultation, I’ll leave the room while you get ready and settle on the massage table. Most clients undress down to their underwear so I can work effectively on the back and shoulders, but you’re always welcome to keep on whatever makes you feel at ease.

You’ll be covered with soft sheets throughout the session, and only the area being treated will be uncovered at any time. I’ll knock before re-entering the room to make sure you’re ready.

Before your session, please remove any make-up and jewellery so you can fully relax and enjoy the treatment. This allows the oils and techniques to work effectively and helps you feel more at ease during your massage.

My holistic massage sessions work with the whole body to restore balance and ease. Each treatment is tailored to your needs and may include flowing massage strokes, breathwork, and gentle body awareness techniques to help calm the nervous system and release both physical and emotional tension.

You’ll be covered with soft blankets throughout your treatment, and only the area being worked on will ever be uncovered. Some techniques may also be applied through the blanket for comfort and grounding.

The aim is to leave you feeling relaxed, reconnected, and at ease in your body.

Every body responds to touch differently, so the pressure and pace of each session are tailored to you. My aim is always to give your body what it needs in that moment, sometimes deeply comforting, particularly if you’re already living with stress, overwhelm, or trauma, and sometimes inviting you to explore the edge of comfort where release and resilience can build.

We use breath and awareness to soften into those moments, allowing your body to guide the process. You’re always in control, and I’ll check in with you regularly to make sure the pressure feels right.

The goal isn’t to push through pain, but to create a space where your body can unwind safely and begin to restore balance.

After your session, give yourself time to rest and allow your body to integrate the work. You might feel deeply relaxed, a little tired, or notice subtle emotional or physical shifts as your body continues to release tension. This is completely normal and part of the process of recalibration.

Drink plenty of water and, if possible, avoid caffeine or alcohol for the rest of the day so your system can rebalance naturally. Gentle movement, a warm bath, or quiet time can help your body settle and absorb the benefits.

Most importantly, notice how you feel, your energy, your breath, your mood, as this awareness is part of the healing process.

Cancellations made within 24 hours of your appointment incur a 50% charge, as it’s unlikely I’ll be able to fill the space at such short notice. Thank you for understanding and respecting my time and other clients who may be waiting for an appointment.

Yes, you can. While I no longer offer traditional prenatal massage, my holistic approach is safe and supportive during pregnancy. Sessions are always adapted to your stage and comfort, with gentle positioning, cushioning, and techniques that focus on relaxation, nervous system balance, and emotional wellbeing.

Massage and body-based practices can be especially helpful during pregnancy to ease tension, support sleep, and reduce feelings of anxiety or overwhelm. If you have any specific medical concerns, please check with your healthcare provider before booking.
