What is holistic therapy?

Holistic therapy is an approach to healing and wellness that considers the whole person—mind, body, emotions, and spirit—as interconnected and interdependent. It focuses on addressing the root causes of issues rather than just symptoms, and often incorporates various techniques from both conventional and alternative therapies to promote overall balance and well-being.

Will I be fully undressed for the massage?

Your comfort and privacy are our top priorities. You will be provided with a private space to undress to your comfort level. If having a full body massage you will be asked to remove everything apart from your underwear. If you are having a back, neck and shoulder massage then you may only need to remove your top half providing you’re wearing something with a relaxed waistband. You will be appropriately draped with sheets or towels throughout the massage, and only the area being worked on will be uncovered. If you are not ok at any point during your treatment then please make this known so that we can either make adjustments to make you more comfortable or stop the treatment.

What should I wear to my appointment?

It doesn’t really matter too much what you wear to your appointment, something loose and comfortable is recommended so that you can continue to feel relaxed when getting dressed to leave, you can always bring a change of clothes with you if coming straight from work for example. The massage oil used is water dispersible meaning that it washes off skin and out of clothing easily, however you may want to refrain from wearing any precious items of clothing to your appointment in case of staining.

Can I combine different therapies in one session?

Yes, we offer customised split sessions where you can combine more than one therapy based on your preferences and needs. We will work together to create a tailored treatment plan that suits your goals.

Do you offer gift vouchers?

Yes, gift vouchers can be purchased for any treatment or monetary value. You can choose from a physical voucher which can be posted out or collected from the studio, or a digital voucher which can be personalised with a message then emailed either to you or directly to the recipient.

Are the products you use vegan friendly and cruelty free?
