What does the consultation entail?
This
includes a brief medical history, dietary
advise and beneficial supplements, analysis
of postural alignment, advise on specific
simple exercises and any other helpful
information you may need. Anything you can
so will enhance the effectiveness of your
treatment and this information will be
written down for you to take with you when
you go.
How many treatments?
The
number of treatments will vary for each
individual person and this will be easier to
judge after seeing how you respond to the
first or second treatment. Bare in mind
that healing is a ‘process’ and needs to
take place in its own time.
Reflexology
In this case, you may require more
treatments as Reflexology is working on the
body’s systems via the nervous system and
acupuncture meridians ‘indirectly’.
Observing the ‘process’, as the body changes
will give me a better idea as I see how you
are responding to each treatment. This
applies to other therapies as well.
Bowen
Technique
In order
to obtain the full benefit it advisable to
have two treatments within seven days of
each other. The progress and changes in the
body after the first treatment need to be
observed and taken further to resolve your
condition. If you suffer from long term
illness, stokes, arthritis, Parkinson’s
disease, Multiple Sclerosis etc, you may
require several treatments and will benefit
from ‘top up’ treatments when required.
Aromatherapy and Reiki
I would
advise that you come for treatments and see
how you feel after the first or second one.
Healing is a process and I need to see how
you respond to the first treatment in order
to have some idea how many you may need. As
everyone is an individual, it is wise to go
with the flow. After resolution of a
particular problem most of my clients choose
to come for maintenance treatments to keep
supple and relaxed and in the case of people
who partake in the sports field, this can
prevent reoccurring injuries and have a
positive effect on their performance.
What should I
wear for treatment:
Wear
comfortable casual clothing. If you
are having Aromatherapy its advisable to not
be wearing your best clothes. If you
are coming straight from work you could
bring a change of clothes for after the
treatment.
Bowen Therapy can be done through loose clothing,
however I feel that its best if possible to
be able to feel the tone and texture of the
skin during treatments, to note changes.
This enables me to 'see' what needs to
be done as the treatment progresses.
Reflexology does not require you to remove any
clothing except for shoe's and socks.
For
Reiki you remain fully clothed apart from
removing shoes.
Am I covered during a treatment?
Yes.
During massage
or Bowen treatments
you are covered with towels for modesty's
sake and for comfort and warmth. I
only uncover the body part that is being
treated as I go along.
Do I need to
check with my Doctor before coming for
treatment?
Please
phone me and tell me if you have a serious
health condition, for example Heart disease,
or any other illness that you are concerned
about. I go through this during the
consultation, but in some cases it is wise
to check with your GP or specialist 'before'
coming for a treatment.
The
importance of Water and therapy
For
treatment to have the best effect I advise
people to drink water. Its very
important to be hydrated before and after
treatments. This is particularly of
importance when you have Bowen Therapy
(although all therapies benefit from water).
