Frequently asked questions 

​​​

• What do you need to wear?
  Comfortable, light clothing — a T-shirt and joggers, shorts, or leggings.

• Do you use oils?
  No. My sessions combine deep pressure bodywork, active stretches, and soft tissue/joint manipulation, so I need a good hold on your limbs throughout.

• How often should you come back for sessions?
  If you have several issues — for example, frozen shoulder, lower back pain, and knee pain — I usually won't have enough time to treat everything in one session, so I'll ask you to come back for a few more. Some clients feel much better after just one session; it really depends on how severe the injury is, and how long you've been dealing with it. If you've been in pain for months or years, it can take a little longer to fully resolve. My aim is always to get rid of your pain in one session, but realistically it sometimes takes a bit of time — and I'll support you and do my best throughout.

• Once the pain is gone, is it okay to stop coming?
  Yes — you don't need to come back once you're feeling completely fine. That said, I often encourage clients to come back before an old injury has a chance to resurface. Management is really important: doing the exercises and stretches I give you after your session helps keep your body mobile. If you're happy to keep seeing me, I'd recommend monthly visits to help prevent recurring injuries.

• What should I do to prepare my space for a mobile session?
  Just clear a space of about 2m x 2m for my table, keep the room warm and quiet, and pop pets in another room if you have them. I'll bring everything else needed for your treatment!

•  What's your cancellation policy?
  I ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule — cancellations with less notice than this will be charged 50% of the session fee. If you cancel right before your session or don't arrive, the full session fee (100%) applies. I understand things come up, so please just get in touch with me as soon as you can.

• Is Seitai massage safe during pregnancy?
  Yes — I hold an insurance to treat pregnant clients from 20 weeks. I offer both Seitai massage and a more gentle prenatal massage with lotion, and both work well depending on what feels right for you at the time.

•  What should I expect to feel after a session?
  Some clients feel a bit of soreness afterwards, but this usually settles within a day or two. Tiredness is also common after a session — both are perfectly normal as your body responds to the treatment.
