Not at all! In fact, if you struggle with your flexibility, this the perfect place to start.

You don’t need any experience of yoga either, but if you’ve ever thought that you might benefit from adding some into your life then this also a great space to gently introduce yourself to some of the concepts of yoga, stretching & presence.

As standard my Yoga Massage sessions take place fully clothed. For men and women it is best to wear clothes which are comfortable and allow movement. Shorts, Leggings or joggers with vest, T-shirt or sports bra are good options.

Sometimes it may be useful for me to incorporate some oil based massage techniques. As such, the optimum dress code would allow some skin contact whilst allowing you to feel comfortable. For example something akin to training shorts, with secure undergarments worn beneath. A tank top, or sports bra work well for the upper body. You will be covered with beneath blankest as required for warmth and comfort.

Your first appointment is typically 2 hrs, which fly’s by! It is essential that you give yourself at least 30 minus post treatment were there are no demands on your energy. No rushing. You’ll get the most out of the experience if you pause your busy plans until tomorrow.

Subsequent shorter treatments are available at 75 or 90 mins although most people like to stick with 2hrs.

A person who feels in good nick and wants to keep it that way typically finds a treatment once a month works well.

If you’ve not had treatment for a long time, or have some challenges that need some attention you’ll probably benefit most from a more focused approach over a few sessions. There is however no obligation.

A single session can work a charm, and be a useful reset for the system. Many people discover that bodywork such as Yoga Massage is a really great way to keep their health & wellbeing in good order and opt for monthly or bi-weekly appointments.

Theres no one size fits all and this approach can be adapted to your lifestyle and needs/

Yes, highly, and I’m passionate about holding a safe space for the integration of embodied trauma where required. I have spent many years studying trauma and its relation to the body & nervous system, and I am committed to continuous professional development in this field. I have employed experience supporting some of the most vulnerable and challenged people in the country, and in this private practice more years still of helping people cultivate safety, connection, ultimately facilitating the integration of trauma.

However is feels important to acknowledge the limitations of my practice. Unfortunately, I am not able to offer crisis support. If you are in active crisis I recommend you speak to your Doctor to determine the most appropriate level of help and support.

Whilst Yoga Massage Therapy and coaching can be very therapeutic and my space is welcoming of your whole being, my specialism is not Psychotherapy. If you have a breadth of material you wish to explore primarily through talking and the mind, you may find psychotherapy to be an excellent companion to Yoga Massage.

If you are primarily interested in this work for trauma resolution, I recommend dropping me an enquiry or booking a consultation prior to see if this approach is what you are seeking to explore and suitable for you at this time.

Sessions range in price, with my most affordable option being packages and monthly memberships which are available to purchase via email.

My drop in prices are available to see on my booking system.

The treatment studio is on St Annes Square in Manchester City Centre. Full location details are provide upon booking as I do not offer walk in appointments.

Thank you in advance for understanding for the sustainability of my small business that I have a 48hr calculation & rescheduling policy.

This is because when appointments are made I turn away other enquiries, plan my schedule around them as well as have expenses such as room hire, travel etc paid in advance especially for appointments booked. The full appointment fee will still be due or retained for cancellations or rescheduling with less that 48hrs notice.

Yes! If you have cleints which you think would benefit from my services I can work from your premises. My minimus requirement is a clean, warm, quiet space and reconfirmed bookings prior to attendance.

To discuss further please book a consultation with me.

As I’m admin time limited, emails are easily missed! For this reason I recommend that you book a free consultation if you have an enquiries.
