After the massage my patients are handed the balance of the oil mixed, for their massage, which are taken home for use in the bath or just rubbed onto the skin. This oil is only to be used by the patient and not anyone else as the oils have been mixed especially for this patient according to their case history.

The pressure of the massage depends on the patient and also their ailments.

Therapeutic Aromatherapy Massage is not a luxury but a necessity. With the stresses and strains of life regular massage helps to relax the body and mind, help with various ailments and generally make one feel alive

A consultation / case history has to be done during the first visit to ensure that the oils that are used during the massage will help and not harm the patient. Also during the consultation the practitioner can establish what part of the body needs to be massage and how often the patient is to visit the clinic for maximum benefit.

Visiting the Clinic

• Please do not wear your best clothes as vegetable oil can stain.
• It is suggested that you don’t bath or shower for at least 6 hours after your massage.
• Please bring a jersey or jacket with you as you may feel cold after the massage due to the toxins moving through your body – one of the elimination symptoms.
  6 – 8 glasses of water to be drunk daily to flush toxins from the body
• During the massage you will keep your underwear on and your body will be covered by towels and only the part that is being massaged will be uncovered.
• After the massage you could have one or more of the following elimination symptoms – : feeling tired, hungry, thirsty, cold,  tingling sensation, have more bowel movements which may be darker or stronger smelling,  frequent urination which may also be darker or stronger smelling, skin break outs, etc.  Depending on the extent of the toxins in your body and also how much water you drink will depend on the severity of these elimination symptoms.  Most people leave the clinic feeling tired and may have 1 or more of these symptoms.
• All information spoken and written during the treatment and consultation time are confidential.
• After the massage it is suggested that you rest for an hour or two.  I know that it is not always possible to do this but it is advisable, if possible to try and make your appointment so that you can rest afterwards. Not necessary to sleep but relax.
