You can follow my book now button at the top of the page, which takes you directly to my Fresha page. All bookings and payments are handled there.
My working days are currently Tuesdays and Thursdays.
However, I can accommodate sessions outside of my listed hours so please do get in touch if there’s a day/time you would like that you do not see.

If you need to change or cancel your appointment, you must notify me at least 48 hours before your treatment time to receive a full refund.
Within 48 hours of your appointment time, you will be charged for the full treatment cost.
If you are late for your appointment, I will work within the remaining time. This is for the consideration of other clients and the treatment will be charged at full value.
Thank you for your understanding, and helping my little business run effectively!

I will welcome you at the studio door at your appointment time. Please note there is no waiting area.
We will take a few minutes to talk through how you are feeling on the day, how you use your body and what you hope to receive from treatment.
We will then agree on how the treatment will look, and I will explain what to remove clothes-wise, and how to lie on the table.
I will always check in for your comfort with things including pressure, temperature and music volume levels. Please let me know at any moment if something could be better for you - most things are easily changeable.
-
You are able to park for the duration of your appointment.
Please get in touch prior to your appointment to arrange this.
-
For all access needs, please contact me prior to booking to ensure I can adapt the space for you. I can arrange wheelchair access to the studio using the Yard’s community wheelchair ramp, however the doorway to the treatment space is 75cm wide.
-
Before your treatment, please make sure you have showered on the day. Nothing else is necessary! There is absolutely no need to shave, or feel self-conscious about your body. Try not to eat a heavy meal right before your treatment. Please do not consume drugs or alcohol before your appointment as I will not be able to treat you and the full cost will still apply.
After your treatment, make sure to drink plenty of water (massage moves a lot of fluid around the body, and you can feel a little dehydrated). You may feel a little sleepy and in your own bubble. It is best to try to plan a slow day after treatment, avoiding vigorous exercise or activities that require a lot of mental energy! Most of all, be kind to yourself.

The studio is within a repurposed shipping container, which is fully lined and insulated, with ventilation for air flow. During the winter it is kept cosy with heaters and a heated couch cover. During the summer it is kept cool with fans.
The consultation area has large windows for natural light. There is a dividing wall between this area and the treatment room, which has no windows for privacy and soft lighting for a cosy feel.
Please note there is NO toilet located inside the studio.
St. Saviours Yard has toilets which are accessed with our studio fob and are located less than a minutes walk from the studio.
-
Please feel able to discuss your concerns by reaching out before your treatment to discuss how best we can work together.
I am well used to adapting massage treatments for a range of conditions including chronic pain, neurological, cycle-based and mental health reasons.
You are the expert on your condition, and I will do my best to help you feel comfortable and to relax.
We can generally adapt on the day, though there are some cases in which massage is not suitable, e.g. broken bones or recent surgeries.
If you are unsure, please check with your doctors if massage is suitable for your condition.
