Cancellation / No-Show Policy

Hey lovely humans 👋🏻

I know life happens. We get busy, things pop up, and sometimes our bodies or brains just say "nah, not today." I get it. I’m all about flexibility and compassion—but I also need to honour my time (and the time of others waiting for a spot).

So, here’s the deal with cancellations and no-shows 💬👇🏻
This lil' policy is in place to help keep things flowing smoothly for everyone. It means I can show up fully for each of you, keep the good vibes going, and make sure I’ve got space when someone else really needs a treatment.

🕐 Cancellations & Rescheduling
If you need to cancel or move your appointment, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance. That gives me time to offer your slot to someone else who might need a bit of TLC that day.

💳 Deposits
All bookings made online require a deposit to secure your spot. That deposit will go toward the cost of your treatment.

❌ Cancellations Within 24 Hours
If you cancel less than 24 hours before your appointment, your deposit will be non-refundable. This is to cover the time and prep I’ve set aside just for you.

🔁 Rescheduling
Need to reschedule? No worries—if it’s more than 24 hours ahead, your deposit can be carried over to your new appointment.

🚫 No-Shows
If you don’t turn up and don’t let me know, your deposit will be forfeited. Emergencies happen, and I totally understand—just reach out if something serious comes up. Communication is key 💌

🗓️ Treatment Plans
If you’ve bought a treatment plan (a series of pre-paid sessions), and you miss one with less than 24 hours’ notice, that session will be deducted from your plan.

🌈 Life Happens Clause
If something unexpected or difficult comes up, please don’t sit in silence. Drop me a message. I'm a human, not a robot, and I’ll always try to meet you with empathy and understanding (but frequent cancellations might mean we have to revisit your booking terms, just being real).

💛 Thank You
Thank you for respecting this space, this work, and the time I dedicate to you and others. Your support keeps the energy flowing, the healing happening, and the good vibes alive. Can’t wait to see you on the table s

⭐Deposits for Online Bookings⭐

**Re-posted with amendments**

I really didn't want it to come to this folks but from today online bookings will require a deposit at time of booking. This deposit can be refunded if you get in touch to cancel 24 hours prior to your booking. Any cancellations over the 24 hour threshold are non-refundable unless presented with an absolute emergency. If rescheduling, your deposit will be carried over to your next booking.

Due to one too many no-shows recently I have had to put my foot down. Most folks are very good with getting in touch even if they just forget about their booking however that's not always the case. By the time this happens I've already spent money on petrol and a client who could have taken the time has also lost out and I deal with folks that suffer a lot of pain and require to be seen as soon as possible.

I held off doing this for quite some time because it will cost me more in transaction fees from the website but it will also ensure that I can keep my rent covered and hopefully folks will take their bookings a little more seriously.

Again, you should always receive both a text and email reminder 24 hours before your appointment. If for any reason you can't come please don't hesitate to get in touch. You all know I can be reasonable and I totally understand sometimes life happens 🤷🏻

You can avoid having to pay this by booking with me directly. Just get in touch via the website, WhatsApp or you can always make another booking after your treatment.

Thank you for your understanding 🫶🏻

✨New Service✨

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) was developed by Dr. Emil Vodder and his wife in 1936, this gentle, skin-stretching massage is perfect for those dealing with lymphedema, lipedema, post-surgical swelling, or chronic venous insufficiency. 🤓

If you’re recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition like fibromyalgia, or dealing with post-traumatic swelling, MLD offers targeted relief. Unlike traditional massage, MLD focuses on lymph vessels to effectively reduce congestion and boost fluid flow. The technique begins by stimulating healthy areas to guide fluid movement before addressing the congested regions, using soothing strokes to clear fluid from both surface and deeper layers.

MLD’s sophisticated approach includes techniques like stationary circles, scoop, pump, and rotary strokes, which enhance lymph node activity and improve circulation. It’s an integral part of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) and shines when combined with other CDT elements.

For those seeking a holistic method to detoxify, relieve pain, and promote overall well-being, MLD is a beneficial choice.

Consult a healthcare professional to see if this elegant therapy aligns with your needs.

Let’s chat about myofascial cupping – the brilliant therapy that leaves you looking like you've just been unplugged from the matrix 💃🏻

This technique uses suction cups to lift and release tight fascia, muscles, and fluids, bringing them closer to the skin’s surface where the real magic happens.

With cupping we can pinpoint those tense areas and glide or place the cups just where they’re needed, giving your muscles the care they deserve. In just a few minutes, you’ll feel those knots start to melt away. And those little marks you might see afterwards? You have been unplugged, welcome to the real world Neo 😂

Unlike traditional methods that press down on your muscles, myofascial cupping gently lifts them up, boosting blood flow and encouraging healing. And it’s not just all talk – research shows it may reduce chronic pain, improve mobility, and speeds up recovery from injury.

Let’s talk about IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) – you know those terrifying looking tools you see when you walk into my treatment room? Yup. That's it.

This technique is a modern upgrade to ancient Gua Sha, featuring sleek stainless steel tools that blend elegance with effectiveness. These fabulous instruments are perfect for tackling those persistent soft tissue issues, effortlessly breaking down scar tissue and fascial restrictions.

The secret? Controlled microtrauma! It may sound intense, but it’s all about kick-starting your body’s natural healing process. Think boosted collagen, enhanced range of motion, and pain relief. The holy trinity! 😇

Whether you're an athlete aiming for peak performance or just fed up with daily stiffness, IASTM could be your new go-to.

✨ Well done everyone receiving their GCSE results today! ✨

For everyone else, I have some news for you.

Don’t worry—you don’t need them. 😉

As a high school dropout who left school at 15, I barely scraped a B in English, possibly a C in Science, and the rest were simply ungraded.

Guess what? I still got into university, and now I run a business with the potential to earn more per hour than most people in "professional" occupations. 💅🏻

For many of us, secondary school can be a nightmare, and surviving it is an achievement in itself. And that is exactly what you’ve done—survived. No amount of qualifications can compare to what it took for you to achieve that.

I was fortunate to have an amazing family GP who helped me navigate this dark period of my life. They always reminded me that education can happen at any age. I had all the time in the world, and they were absolutely right about that!

I didn’t even have job interview skills! But I attended every interview I could. I took the feedback, did the workshops at the job center, and even worked as a hairdressing trainee for a few months.

I’ll never forget my answer to the first question at my very first job interview, applying for a dishwashing role in a restaurant 👀:

🧑🏻‍💼Interviewer: "Why do you want to work for us?"

👶🏻16-year-old me: "Because I need to earn money."

🤦🏻😂

Apparently, that’s not good enough 🤷🏻

I then enrolled in every free course at college I could find, with no real aim other than to piece together some sort of CV that might land me a minimum-wage job.

But by the time I was 18, I had the charisma to walk into any retail or hospitality job, despite my severe lack of formal education. Not bad for the boy who, just a couple of years earlier, couldn’t even make eye contact when talking to people.

So to the "dropouts," the "going nowheres," and THE LOSERS CLUB—take all the time you need to heal from that experience.

You now have the chance to forge your own path forward.

Shine bright! ✨✨✨
