Cost: £60 for 90 mins of massage. PayPal in advance or cash on arrival are both fine.

I usually massage only one person per day. Book your massage for a time when you can ease back into things afterwards, so you have time to absorb, process and feel the effects. Contact me as far in advance as you can, to get the date you want. Wait time can be 2-4 weeks as I work around other commitments. Tell me if you have any allergies on booking, to ensure I have the right oils or creams to massage you with.

Before accepting an initial booking with a new client, we need to have a phone call. This is to get a sense of who you are, what you need, and whether I can meet that need. Ask me anything, and if we both feel comfortable, we can arrange a session. Tell me about any allergies, pre-existing medical issues, illness or infections before booking, to ensure the treatment and oils I use are suitable and to minimise risk. If you become unwell before your session, reschedule to avoid worsening your symptoms or passing an infection onto me.

Get a massage as often as you want one, e.g. monthly or longer between sessions. There is no pressure to rebook, you won’t be put on the spot at the end of your massage, just get in touch when you want to. I tend to be booked up about 2-4 weeks in advance. I don’t offer same-day appointments.

Tipping is neither required nor expected. If you’d like to show appreciation, feel free to refer me others or send me a review to add to this website.

If you are running late or can't make it, it's not an issue and there is no cancellation fee. If running late, you will still get the full massage, unless I have already made plans and need to finish at the previously agreed end time.  

I spend a good amount of time cleaning, laundering and sanitising the massage room, equipment, towels and materials in preparation. 

Don't get a massage if you have any of these conditions: acute injury; open wound; fever, cold, flu, feeling unwell; contagious skin condition, rashes, warts (although these can be covered); active chemotherapy or other intensive medical treatments; serious medical conditions where you should get gp approval first before massage; under the influence of recreational drugs or alcohol.  Let me know of any concerns so that I can advise about getting a massage or not. 

I’m based in Low Fell, Gateshead NE9, in a quiet, safe neighbourhood. Free on-street parking is available outside my door. There are local buses to a stop 5 minutes away. I’m a 5-minute drive from the A1, turning off at the ‘Angel of the North’.
