My Practice
I combine various forms of bodywork to assist relief of particular aches and pains, support people with chronic or acute illnesses and simply help people maintain balanced health.
Within the nature of my work is the ethos that each and every one of us is unique and our needs are never going to be the same from person to person or simply within ourselves, from day-to-day. With this in mind, each treatment session is tailored to focus on the client's specific needs at that time. Treatments can therefore vary from traditional oil massage to pulsing or Reiki, or include many of these elements according to suit. As some of these bodywork methods are lesser well known I have given brief descriptions of them below. What starts out as a traditional oil massage may uncover the need to work in a slightly different way therefore other techniques may be more appropriate and the treatment may change accordingly.
It is always necessary to take a full case history on the first visit including medical history, current medication, surgery, life-style habits, emotional patterns and general physical discomforts. Treatments are held in complete confidentiality however I am very happy to work in partnership with other healthcare practitioners, GPs or midwives as long as written consent has been given by the client.
On subsequent consultations it is necessary to have a short chat before treatment to discuss any changes (particularly to medication), reactions to previous treatments and most importantly what the needs are for the current session.
