What to expect from a treatment
A short, comprehensive consultation precedes every treatment, establishing your medical history to tailor the treatment to the individual and ensure safe practise. If necessary, a consent form may need to be signed agreeing to the treatment.
All consultations are conducted in private, and all information is stored safely and confidentially.
New clients will be given an overview of the treatment and its benefits so that their expectations are established from the start. Contra-actions and “Healing Process” will be explained.
Subsequent treatment sessions will include a shorter consultation to give you an opportunity to discuss any changes to your health and well-being, and to provide any feedback in relation to your previous session.
Treatments are held from a specialised massage table. You remain fully clothed, removing only your socks and shoes. Access to the calves is required, so lose clothing is recommended. Blankets and pillows are available to ensure your greatest comfort, plus an eye pillow will help you descend into a deep, calm, meditative state.
After I have cleaned and read your feet, I will access your ‘energetic body’ through a skilful combination of opening, effleurage, knuckling, kneading and gentle touch rotations. My thumbs, fingers, knuckles and the palm of my hand, apply pressure to the reflexes both in your feet and lower leg. You may experience some tenderness in areas, but this will soon pass. Tenderness is informative.
Post treatment you will be invited to stay lying down a little longer, during which time we can talk about your experience, share my findings (should you wish) and provide after-care recommendations. If appropriate, this may include teaching you some hand reflexology to reinforce the benefits of your treatment until your next appointment.
An after-care advice slip will be available for you to take home.
