Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How will massage benefit me?
Some benefits include (but not limited too)
* Relieve muscle tension
* Reduce Stress
* Improve Circulation
* Improve muscle tone
* Improve mental health - Relaxing
* Improve posture
* Reduce aches, pains and time to recover from injury
* Reduce toxins in the body
Q: How do I know if you can help?
A: I am fully qualified and insured for a number of different treatments and my membership to the FHT requires that I maintain and update my skills through Continuous Professional Development (CPD) The treatment I offer will be custom to you and discussed over the phone initially to decide if massage is a treatment that would benefit you. The consultation is completely free to you with never any obligation to make a booking.
Q: How do I book an appointment?
A: 1) Get in touch to say "I'm interested.." with a suitable time and contact method so I can contact you.
2) I get in touch with you to discuss what it is you're looking for and arrange a free consultation - this is a short medical questionairre you complete in your own time.
3) If we're both happy to proceed we arrange a mutual time for the appointment.
Q: Where will the treatment take place?
A: I can offer:
* Mobile treatments (where I visit you within a short distance of my home)
* A private room in a wellbeing centre in Leeds where there are other people in the building (Some people may prefer this initially)
* A dedicated room in my home in Scholes, Cleckheaton. (For security reasons I only offer this after we have met)
Q: How long will my treatment take?
A: This depends on the consultation and areas to be treated. Usually at least 60 mins. Anything less than that and the treatment will be compromised. I never rush a treatment and neither would I ever over massage a single area as this can cause discomfort.
Q: Will I need to undress?
A: Not necessarily, depending on the area being treated. I use big towels at all times to prevent oil from getting on your clothes. You can wear as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. My only requirement is that the massage oil can penetrate the skin of the area being treated (whilst not staining your clothing)
Q: How do I know I can I trust you?
A: I understand that booking a treatment with a complete stranger can be very daunting. Trust is vital between any therapist and their clients.
I am a full member of Federation of Holistic Therapist (FHT) and adhere to their code of conduct and professional practice in order to maintain my membership. I am also enhanced DBS checked and I am happily married with a family. I love what I do and would never do anything to jeopardise that.
Q: Do you have any reviews/testimonials that I can read?
A: Yes of course - We all need to be sure who we're hiring. I have my reviews here on Bark and Im also starting to gather some very pleasing reviews on Google, so please feel free to check those out. They are all from genuine clients. I aim for 5 stars with every treatment so you can be re-assured that its in my interest as well as yours to deliver a quality treatment.
Q: Do you offer discounts?
A: Sometimes, yes, I need to cover my cost of training, insurance, travel costs but I do have a loyalty scheme however for repeat clients and I sometimes offer promotions to new and existing clients through newsletter subscribers who sign up to my mailing list.
