Health & Safety at Meadowsweet.

My cabin breathes due to its wooden construction so there is always a continual air flow even when the windows are shut. Between clients everything is wiped down and hoovered and fresh new sheets and towels put out. When the weather warms up at least one of the windows is opened.

With back massages I use a thick high quality non-irritant face protection sheet around the face hole that is single use only, and I always air the foam head rest between visits, with a gentle wipe of anti-bacterial cloth.

My couch is electronic and will only hold a certain body weight and whilst I try to be inclusive, if you feel your weight may be under medical review with obesity then do still contact me and we can work a solution to best accommodate you.

Epilepsy will require an GP or medical team note due to the potential risk of falling off my couch if you were to have an episode and hurt yourself against my nearby desk or other items in the room. Equally active Cancer will require an Oncologist letter before proceeding with any treatment this is to ensure you receive a safe treatment. Your health and your safety is my priority before anything else.

If you suspect you have COVID or any type of flu, cough & colds or tummy upset then please DO NOT come to your appointment

If there is a rapid surge or new outbreak of COVID or other disease then I will be wearing a mask for your protection as well as my own and will follow government guidelines.

As my cabin is in my family garden, there is a short walk from the side gate to get to the cabin. In prolonged wet and icy weather I do ensure you take care when walking across the slabs to avoid any falls or slipping.

If you have any concerns or questions. Please do feel free to contact me so that I can best answer your enquiry to make you feel comfortable when you visit.

What happens if I feel unwell on the day of my appointment?

If you feel unexpectedly unwell either the day before, or even a few days before your appointment, then it is really important that you cancel with me as soon as possible. When our bodies fight any kind of infection whether it’s bacterial or viral, getting a massage will not help in the initial stages. Likewise if get ill I will contact you as soon as I can and re-arrange your appointment.

If on the day of your appointment you have an issue due to car troubles or traffic, or aren’t feeling well then please message me on my WhatsApp Business number 07478 615497 and I will do my best to re-schedule your appointment. After all, these things do happen!

What will happen after booking and on my first visit?

After making your initial enquiry and confirming your booking. You will be sent an e-mail, with a consultation form to fill out online. I have one combined Body Massage & Holistic Therapy form.

I try to be there to greet you on your first visit. With future appointments asking that upon arrival, you just come through the side wooden gate up into the garden. Where I will welcome you and allow you to hang up your coat and settle before asking you to get ready. At this point I leave the cabin to allow you privacy and always ask if you are ready before entering.

At the end of your treatment I will allow you to get dressed privately by leaving the cabin. I also provide a rehydrating lemon water or in the summer months fresh garden mint and cucumber water to help flush the toxins out! A plain option is available too just ask when booking.

What payment do you take?

I use a remote card reader by iZettle which takes most cards. I can also send you a receipt using this method if required. I also have the facility to send an invoice if preferred too. Cash is accepted. But please make sure you have the exact amount ready as I do not keep change.

Do you treat Male Clients?

Yes. I see both male and female clients. I do understand that in a world where there are less reputable places operating, some female therapists are wary of treating male clients. From my own experience of treating my regular male clients. They are genuinely interested in how my treatments can help re-balance their health and restore their wellbeing. My male clients appreciate being able to have access to a professional, qualified therapist offering high quality treatments that don’t make them feel excluded from booking based on their gender and the reputation of a few individuals who are looking for something completely different. However as with both male and female clients, I will not tolerate any inappropriate behaviour.

What do you use in your massage treatments and holistic facials?

My basic massage treatments use a fantastic range of liquid waxes from ‘Songbird Naturals’ they come pre-blended with high quality essential oils. I find it is an ideal medium to work with for my gentle massages. Plus it nourishes and hydrates your skin long after your treatment has ended. They also smell divine!

For my Ritual and Pure Holistic facials. I use a range of luxury organic skincare products from a lovely family run UK company Pinks Boutique. Their high quality range deliver results to nourish and hydrate your skin, with a range of samples & full size products available to purchase so that you can continue with looking after your skin when back at home. (purchases optional)
