Ok I’m interested, where will I need to go?
You don’t go anywhere, I come to you.
What will I need to provide?
All you need to provide is a relaxing, warm and private area within your home. Somewhere you’ll not be disturbed by others or a ringing phone. Preferable an area with low lighting as this helps you relax more, but this is not necessary. I will need quite a bit of space for my massage table, about the same space as a 3 seated sofa and enough space to walk round it (minimum 3 sides). Access to an electrical outlet my MP3 player so we can play some relaxing therapeutic music.
How long will my massage last?
Your massage will be around 20 to 30 minutes and in additional there is the time it takes to set up the couch, make up your oil, your consultation and then to pack up at the end so I will be in your home for around 1 hour. Your first session could be around 20 minutes longer due to the in-depth consultation needed.
