what to expect
It may sound obvious, but it’s important to say that my clients are just like you. They are all people. We can communicate. You can ask me questions. A massage session doesn’t need to be a mysterious silent passive experience. You can be as engaged in the process as you want to be. Sometimes it is perfect to simply receive the massage that I offer, intuitively responding to you and your body in the moment. Other times you may wish to verbalise parts of your experience and even guide me in the process. We are working together and there is nothing for you to get right or wrong.
Each session begins with a conversation. The first time this may be longer, as I need to establish information about your health and lifestyle as well as how you are feeling and what you are needing at the time, in order that I give you the best massage I can. During subsequent sessions, the length of conversation will depend on how you are and what you need. I will always ask some questions, listen fully, suggest a treatment and begin only with your agreement.
My massage sessions are customised in the moment. I use a variety of techniques and I always tailor the session to suit you, based on what we’ve talked about, what I feel as I work with you, and what you feel as I work.
Massage doesn’t have to hurt to be effective and even the deepest touch is applied gently. You are in control of how much pressure is applied ~ if you don’t like it, I won’t do it.
I work directly with skin, muscles, bones, joints and this may affect you physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I touch people’s bodies and the massage often reaches their souls. I use my hands, forearms and elbows and work with specialist massage oils and waxes. You will be covered with a sheet and/or towels and I will only uncover the part of you I am working on at the time. There will be no genital contact. This is not sexual massage.
