What to expect

You'll be lying face up on a massage table. Clothing is removed except for underwear - if you'd prefer to keep your bra on, that's completely fine, and if you'd rather keep something on your lower half, soft leggings or similar are ideal. You'll be draped throughout the session - breasts covered during the abdominal work, and your whole body covered during the cranial holds - so at no point will you be uncovered. I use black sesame oil on the stomach, so please let me know beforehand if you have any allergies and I'll use something else instead.

The first 20 minutes is simply conversation - getting a real sense of your nervous system, your general health, and what's been going on for you. From there, you'll settle onto the table for the treatment itself, which runs for around 50 minutes.

Towards the end, you'll be wrapped and left to rest quietly on the table in deep relaxation - a chance to fully absorb the effects of the session before you get up.

It's completely normal to feel emotion surface during the treatment - if it's too intense, we can always pause or stop. Afterwards, people often feel sleepy, emotional, deeply rested, or simply calmer than they have in a long time. Please try to arrive a few minutes early, so you don't feel rushed going in, and it's best to avoid a heavy meal beforehand.
