Q: Do you work with men?

Yes, I welcome male clients who are genuinely seeking the healing power of Lomi Lomi. New male clients are asked to either have a referral from an existing client or therapist, or to have a brief phone conversation with me first to ensure my work aligns with what you're seeking.  

 

Q: How can I pay?

You can pay by bank transfer before the appointment or in cash on the day. I am currently not able to accept cards.

 

Q: How do I book an appointment?

Simply email me to receive the link to the online booking calendar, or let me know your preferred times, and I’ll do my best to accommodate you. 

Q: What is your cancellation policy?

I kindly ask for cancellations to be made at least 48 hours before your appointment, so I can offer the time to someone else. Cancellations within 24 hours  may incur a 50% charge if the spot cannot be filled and missed appointments require full payment.

 

For new clients, payment is required at the time of booking.

 

Q: Do you offer Gift vouchers?

Gift vouchers are available for all massages and will be sent as e-vouchers. They are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. After that period, acceptance will be at my discretion, and clients may be asked to cover any difference between the original purchase price and the current rates.

 

 Q: What do I need to know before the massage?

There are different styles of Hawaiian bodywork and I personally work on an oil sheet, which means that I can also reach under your body and move you quite easily. For this reason, it’s best to be fully nude during the session. Once the massage begins, we typically remove the sarong, as it can interfere with the flow of the massage, absorb the oil, and has sometimes been felt by clients as a barrier to deep relaxation.

However, you decide what feels right to you.

 

Q: How should I prepare for the massage?

The massage is an opportunity for transformation and healing, Treat it as a gift to yourself. I recommend showering before your appointment and allowing plenty of time to arrive relaxed. Wear or bring casual clothes that can get a little oily. We will be removing excess oil but residues will still be nourishing your body.

 

Please leave your jewellery at home or remove beforehand. It is also helpful to give yourself some time after the session to fully absorb the experience. I suggest not booking another appointment immediately after, so you can allow the work to settle in. You may like to bring something to write, to jot down any take aways after the session.

 

Q: How much time do I need to allow?

To get the most out of your session, I encourage you to allow enough time for a smooth and mindful experience. Arrive about 5 minutes early, turn off the radio, set your phone to 'flight mode,' take a few deep breaths, and then head to the Studio.

 

After your session, I recommend giving yourself the same thoughtful transition time. Breathe in the fresh air outside, check in with how you’re feeling, and take a quiet moment in your car. If possible, keep your phone and radio off until you reach home or your next destination. You might also want to jot down any reflections before you go or consider stopping by Ashdown Forest for a peaceful walk. Alternatively, a walk right from the house can be a lovely way to continue the grounding experience.
