A structured approach to bodywork therapy

Our bodywork treatments offer healing journeys that are meaningful and relevant to you. Each is personalised to keep them effective and safe, while considering all aspect that makes you who you truly are…

Key points

  • Our clients consider their work with us more than merely a series of therapeutic bodywork or massage treatments.

  • Our partnerships with clients are aimed at optimising their health, wellbeing, and happiness.

  • Because trust and confidence are essential to these partnerships we follow clear and transparent approaches to our therapeutic work, where each and every step we take can be explained, justified, and rationalised.

  • Together, these approaches form the steps you may take on your healing journey.

We believe that each bodywork treatment session can only be successful if they result in outcomes that are relevant and meaningful to you. Because healing journeys can be intense, uncertain, and sometimes even confronting it is also important for us to constantly assess how we can help you stay safe and comfortable to the best of our abilities.

Your therapeutic bodywork journey with us will be firmly grounded with an Intake Consultation, which will become the basis for your treatment plan. As you progress through the sessions that are most relevant to you we will learn progressively more about you, which allows us to truly personalise your treatments, making them increasingly effective while keeping them safe and comfortable.

Any healing therapy journey will always be unpredictable. To keep you as safe, secure, and comfortable as possible we offer a structured approach to yours.

Step 4 – Your Concern Check Sheet

Having to articulate your concerns at the time of your practice visit can sometimes be difficult. It may not be easy to describe the pain or discomfort you are experiencing, especially when it varies, seems to shift location, and when it manifests in different ways and forms. Our proprietary Concern Sheet helps you structure your observations. Not only does it help you prepare for your treatments, it also helps us design treatments that are most effective for you.

We assess and review yours to truly personalise your treatments, always with a view to keep these both effective and safe for you. Should any of the conditions mentioned on this page apply to you, please inform your therapist at your next session.
