What happens during a session?

On arrival your warm welcome will be followed by a free consultation which will be completely confidential and as thorough as necessary to establish your past medical history and lifestyle. We will then agree together your treatment plan and you can relax. My studio is inviting, warm and luxurious with soft towelling, an extra wide couch and various bolsters and pillows to ensure your utmost comfort and modesty at all times. Relax and enjoy the ambience of your therapy room, drift away with soothing and relaxing music and draw in the sweet aromas of fragranced candles and essential oils giving you a complete sensory experience.
