Your Treatment
Please read the following information to help you prepare for and maximise the benefits of your treatment time.
Below you will also find a new client intake form, please fill this in prior to your appointment.
Mutual respect for each others time is important. Please keep in mind that the time you have booked is set aside for you. Late cancellations, frequent rescheduling and no-shows impact our small business.
So whilst we understand that life, sickness and emergencies do happen, we ask that you give us as much notice as possible if you wish to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
Cancellations & Rescheduling
Appointments cancelled within 24 hours of the treatment time and no-shows, who do not notify us, will be charged 100% of the treatment fee.
Your cancellation fee will need to be paid before you are able to re-book.
Any on-the-day alterations made to the treatment time by the client, will still be charged at the initial rate.
Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable to ensure a commitment to your appointment time.
Exceptions to the cancellation policy may be made only in exceptional circumstances and at the therapists discretion.
Thank you for respecting our policies.
Cold & Flu Policy
If you are feeling unwell with symptoms of a cold or flu then please let us know before coming to your appointment.
If you arrive with viral symptoms, we will be unable to treat you, but your appointment will still be charged.
We understand that illness can come on suddenly. If you need to cancel within our usual 24- hour notice period because you're ill, we will waive the cancellation fee, provided you do not frequently cancel or reschedule at short notice.
As close-contact practitioners, we do not treat clients while they have a contagious condition, for many reasons. It is not good for you to have a massage whilst you have a fever. It also helps us protect our more vulnerable clients, our families and our team.
Nobody wants a massage from a therapist who is coughing and sneezing! and as self-employed therapists, becoming ill can mean cancelling several days of appointments, affecting both our livelihoods and the other clients booked in for care. It is simply not viable for us to treat one client, only to then have to cancel many more.
Thank you for respecting our policies, our health and our time this winter.
Making the most of Your Treatment
-
Please refrain from wearing perfumes and aerosol antiperspirants to your treatment.
-
Wear comfortable clothes and underwear that you don't mind getting oily (oil can stain light clothing)
-
Avoid the steam room or sauna on treatment day.
-
We recommend avoiding eating a heavy meal or drinking coffee for a couple of hours prior to and after your treatment.
-
Please allow 48hrs after vaccinations of any kind before treatment.
-
If you are booked for a facial, a bare face or light make-up is ideal.
-
Please refrain from exfoliating, waxing or using retinol for 24hrs before your facial.
-
Please wait 2 weeks after botox and 4 weeks after fillers for a facial massage.
-
You may experience a skin purge after your facial, this is congestion coming to the surface and is the skin clearing for it to renew and improve in appearance and health over the coming days.
-
If you are well hydrated it will maximise the benefit of your treatment. I recommend you drink a couple of extra glasses of water on treatment day.
-
After your treatment you may feel worse before you feel better, in much the same way as if you had exercised. Rest assured that this will pass and you will soon be feeling the benefits of your treatment, usually within 72hrs.
-
Pace yourself on treatment day. Try to allow time for rest and recovery. You may feel tired or spacey and need to take things slower than usual.
