Gift vouchers make an excellent special gift for a friend or loved one, allowing them to pamper themselves with any of my therapies. The vouchers can be personalised with the name of the recipient (and the giver also if you wish) as well as having an appropriate theme for any special event such as a birthday or Christmas. They are smartly presented in a quality envelope.
They are an ideal gift for anyone who would really appreciate some pampering and relaxation.
The recipient can make their own appointment for a therapy of their choice. Vouchers can be used any time within 6 months.
Please give at least 24 hours notice of cancellations, otherwise a fee may be charged.
In order for you to gain the maximum benefit from your chosen treatment, each session has full ‘hands on’ treatment of the specified time. When making your appointment please allow a few minutes extra for changing and administration.
We're based in Thornhill near Egremont and provide a mobile service to much of West Cumbria (Whitehaven, Workington, Cleator, Gosforth, Seascale etc.) The cost of the treatments remains the same but a supplement will be charged depending on the distance and time travelled.
Yes. If you are allergic to nuts or have wheat intolerance then it will affect which oils I choose to use in your massage. Also if there are certain foods you’re allergic to or dislike -such as citrus fruits- then this will affect the essential oils I select for you. Please mention this before starting.
You should feel nicely relaxed and de-stressed. Often people say they feel revitalised and uplifted.
You may feel tired or have some soreness. You may need to visit the toilet more frequently after your treatment. You may also develop mild spots, cold-like symptoms and rashes. These are due to now-released toxins circulating in your body until they are eliminated, usually over a day or two. These are perfectly normal as it’s your body healing itself. With more frequent treatments these symptoms should reduce.
Some people also experience a heightened emotional state. This is a common reaction and shows your treatment is being effective. Again, they should last only a day or two. If you follow the advice below then it should not be troublesome for you.
Yes. You should avoid exercise, sun-beds or saunas. While in a relaxed state your blood pressure will be lower. This could lead to you passing out if you ask a lot of your body such as going into hot temperatures.
You should avoid stimulants such as alcohol, caffeine and fizzy drinks as these can dehydrate your body. Do drink plenty of water or herbal teas for the rest of the day to help flush out the body toxins which will have been released during your treatment.
Avoid heavy meals for at least 2 hours after treatment.
Aromatherapy is a holistic treatment and can help combat a wide range of physical and emotional problems. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of stress-related conditions, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive and skin problems.
It is a natural treatment which uses the concentrated herbal energies in essential oils from plants combined with massage. It works with the body to promote health.
If you are menstruating then aromatherapy should be avoided during a heavy period or for 2 days prior.
Treatment includes head and face so oil will be used in your hair etc.
Shower prior to treatment but not for 24 hours after. This allows your body to gain the maximum benefit from your unique blend of oils.
Relaxation afterwards is recommended.
Don’t expect to drive long distances or operate machinery.
Depending on the technique used, you may or may not need to undress. If you are having an Indian head massage this is carried out over light clothing. For a full body massage, most people undress to their underwear. You will have privacy to undress, and you will be covered with towels at all times except the area being worked on.
Male clients: please note that underwear MUST be worn during treatment sessions.
Note: This is a strictly non-sensual therapeutic professional practice. Inappropriate suggestions or conduct will not be tolerated.
Prior to your treatment, I'll ask some questions to help rule out any health conditions that may not be appropriate for treatment (see the contraindications page) and help me determine what you want to gain from your session.
You are then left in privacy to undress to your underwear, wrap yourself in warm towels and make yourself comfortable prior to your treatment.
You will be covered at all times to ensure privacy and warmth. Only the area being worked on (head, neck, arms, legs, or back) is uncovered during treatment. Your only responsibility is to relax, breathe, and let me know if you have any questions. Some clients choose to talk a little during their session, others may fall asleep. I may ask for feedback if you are having work done on certain trigger points.
After your treatment is complete, I'll leave the room so you can take your time composing yourself and getting dressed when you feel ready. A drink of water is provided after every session because it is important to drink plenty in order to flush the toxins out from your system that are released during massage. You should feel relaxed, refreshed, peaceful and rejuvenated.
We are equipped with a luxury treatment couch for your comfort and convenience. It is suitable for use when carrying out any treatment (except Indian head massage) so once you’re on there all you have to do is relax. Also my treatment room is a nice calming, relaxing space away from the distractions you may experience at home.
