Massage

Massage is the first point of touch therapy for self care. Massage can be light, medium or deep to receive.

Massage is to work and act on the body with pressure. Massage techniques are commonly applied with hands, fingers, elbows, forearms, or a with warm stones. The purpose of massage is generally for the treatment of body for relaxation, tension, stress or pain relief.

To get the maximum benefit for treatment please have a relaxing bath or shower just before you visit. This helps you to mentally unwind and prepares your skin to enjoy receiving the massage oils.

It is best to wear clothing that is looser and comfortable for after your treatment. Avoid cloth that would not enjoy residual oils resting on the fabric after treatment and that can preferably be washed (Hazelwood can not be responsible for oil marked garments).
Bring something warm to wear for comfort after your treatment.

Eating:
Eat lightly during the day and upto 2 hours prior to treatment. The body needs to digest food before your visit so it can relax and receive the massage without discomfort.

Your therapist will advise you to remove clothing but to keep respectable pant wear on.
You will be left in the room to change and get comfortable on the couch.
Your therapist will knock on the door to enter and check you are comfortable.

• At any time you can talk to your therapist to make sure you are comfortable. They will adjust the bedding or room the best way possible for you.

At any time you can talk to your therapist to make sure you are comfortable. They will adjust the pressure the best way possible for you. If you do however request a deep tissue massage which is stronger than the regular massage the treatment price will be adjusted at the end of your visit.

Before your first treatment in any category you will be legally required to complete a consultation form for your benefit to bespoke the correct suitable treatment to match your personal needs. All questions are relative to that service and if you are receiving more than one treatment that day you may be required to complete a separate form for each service category.

Contra-indications:
If  there are any reasons we can not carry out your selected treatment due to contra-indications, we will advise you on an alternative to the best match possible and may also advise collecting a doctors note for approval of a service if needed.

All treatments are approximate and include a turn around time.

With most treatments your therapist will recommend at the end of treatment for you to dress and meet her downstairs in reception where you will be offered water if appropriate to the treatment received, and aftercare advise.

You are welcome to then relax on the sofa until you feel ready to leave.

It happens from time to time! As we are appointment based services we do all we can to give you the full experience booked. If you are running late we may have to reduce your treatment time where there is no space to complete fully. This is as a courtesy to the next clients appointment not being delayed.
The full treatment price will however be charged.

If you are visiting our Aromatherapist she will mix a cocktail of oils to best suit your needs on that day.
