I am currently at Manor Road, in Bishopston, Bristol, BS7 8PY. Public transport is excellent (bus stops at Hatherley Road). Parking can be difficult and is on-street parking (currently free).

​

I will soon practice from my home studio at Capricorn Place (on Hotwell Road at the bottom of Jacobs Wells Road). Parking is paid, on street parking. Be aware, Hotwell Road has periods of being a Clearway and vehicles may be subject to fines or towed away. Please pay attention to parking times. 

Yes (within Bristol)! I am mobile, so I can come to your chosen location (home, hotel room, office (private room) or poppy field (in season)! Obviously I need to be able to set up my massage table and have sufficient room to get around it to give you the best service.

Yes. however young people aged 17 or under must be accompanied by a a parent (I'm sorry to imply that 17 year-olds are not adults) for mutual legal protection.

I can still offer massage, but it depends on where you are in your pregnancy journey. Receiving massage whilst pregnant can be relieving, beneficial and relaxing for you and baby. 

NOTE: I cannot offer abdominal massage during your pregnancy.

I will check in with you periodically to make sure you're comfortable or that the pressure is okay. 

Some people don't like to be spoken to during treatment as they like to sink into relaxation. If that's you, tell me.

I like to play meditative music during massage unless you ask for silence.

I will ask you to undress for the massage to a level at which you're comfortable.  I will ensure that you're covered by a drape during the massage. I will only uncover areas on which I'm working.  I will ask you to remove jewellery during the massage so that they don't get in the way.

I use unscented Songbird massage waxes (vegan available) or 'Have a Grape Day' grapeseed oil. I don't use scented oils unless specifically requested.
