What to expect from a treatment

The average session last for about one hour, which will include consultation time and bodywork. The initial consultation may take longer, to allow for a thorough health assessment. It is helpful if you can give some thought before coming to previous illnesses, operations, injuries, family medical history, etc. which may be relevant. All information is treated confidentially.

Treatment usually takes place on a futon on the floor. Emphasis is placed on comfort in order to promote a relaxed state. With this in mind, it is preferable not to arrive for a treatment immediately after a large meal. A light snack is fine, if you feel hunger may prevent relaxation.

It is also best not to receive treatment whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs, when feverish or after receiving vaccination or immunisation. Please inform your practitioner before coming if you are feeling unusually unwell or if you may be pregnant.

For full benefit from a treatment, it is wise to allow time afterwards to rest and assimilate the effects.
