New Client Session - 120-130min session
For new clients I start with a 2 hour+ session incorporating Initial Consultation + Therapeutic Massage Treatment: I will ask you why you have come and what you want to get from True Massage Therapy so that the session is tailored to your needs. I will ask you basic information about your health and well-being and I will explain the process of the treatment and give you your massage therapy treatment. Embodied and reflective listening practices are used throughout the session as well as the use of essential oils and Bach Flower Remedies as needed.
After this first session, if you decide that True Massage Therapy is for you, and we both feel that we can work together we start with Connection Foundation sessions:
Connection Foundation Sessions - 90-100min session
After the initial consultation a block of between 3 to 12 sessions are booked to begin & establish the therapeutic process. I call this the 'Connection Foundation'.
My aim is to support you to make your own changes and connections, gradually, in your own time, giving you the chance to connect with your true self. In order for this approach to be fully effective it needs to be delivered consistently and with repetition.
These sessions allow you to:
a: learn the basics of 'accepting a treatment'
b: learn how to choose the right treatment for you
c: improve body connection & awareness
These sessions are booked every 2 weeks where possible. These sessions are mostly live sessions however online/phone sessions may be included to maintain constancy.
Regular Client Massage Sessions - 90-100min session
Once you've completed your connection foundation sessions you may decide to come for regular monthly or twice monthly sessions, these are paid monthly by Standing Order and allow you to choose a regular appointment slot that works for you.
Embodied Mentoring - over 3 months includes:
6 x 90min Therapeutic Massage / Embodied and Reflective Listening sessions
6 x 50min phone Embodied Mentoring sessions
6 x 20min recorded Conscious Movement Meditations for you to keep
BONUS : 1 x 50min check in phone session to reflect on your process
It’s a deeply precious offering.
Spacious and yet committed to true self connection in relationship with your innate creativity.
Time to really work with yourself and your creative purpose through embodied connection, all with support from me.
I’ll incorporate embodied and reflective listening, transactional analysis communication principles, essential oils, Bach flower remedies, EFT, movement meditation, inner child work, principles of embodied creative practice and of course the unique part of this work with me is the wonderful and generous power of therapeutic massage touch to support our work. This is an offer for you to experience trust, to nurture and develop your own inner landscape, to feel int the things that are getting in your way and to move differently with or around them.
Who is it for? This work will suit anyone who feels a disconnect from their body and their innate wisdom. It's an act of creativity and of connection to support yourself in this way.
Whether your drawn towards Therapeutic Massage sessions or Embodied Mentoring - somethings are intrinsically part of all sessions:
I will ask you how you want to feel & move at the end of the session.
I will ask you these things every time you come for an appointment.
I will support you, I will teach you how to listen to yourself, I will let you take your time, I will be patient and I will make you Bach Flower Remedies when you need them to help you on your journey. I won’t decide for you though. I will guide when you need it.
True Massage Therapy asks you to own your own feelings, thoughts and needs. To say what you want. What is true for you.
And I will be delighted for you.
Design your own massage:
I will then ask you to design your own massage. The depth, the speed, the levels of time and attention to specific areas of your body. At first, this will be a bit of a guessing game, over the sessions you will be learning about you and your body and what you need. Over time you will become clearer and clearer about what you want.
You may want the same every session – and that is fine. Just say. In the saying you are affirming again and again what you want.
It may be different every time – and that is fine. Just say. You are affirming your changing needs.
You are gently learning about yourself and empowering yourself over time.
What you and your body do with the massage is up to you and is what you will ultimately receive.
At the end of a session I will ask you to walk around and let me know what you now feel. Do you feel the way you wanted to? Have you got your outcomes? If so, what are you aware of? If not, what have you got instead…this is what your body/mind really needs.
And now you have a new awareness, an improved connection, you have given yourself time to receive… And then the magic happens… the magic is you becoming the most you, you can be, session by session. Finding your true self and healing your own body.
