These are conducted during office hours only.

Reflexology is conducted while the client is sitting, with tights or socks and shoes removed. Wipes and talcum powder are used.

Guided Meditation is conducted with a Group, seated in chairs, preferably in a quiet room.

Reflexology and Indian Head Massage Sessions are a minimum of 10 minutes in duration per client.

Guided Meditation is conducted, with a group and a session is 45 minutes in duration

What We Require for Our Therapies:

• A designated room or private area for the therapies
• Number of clients, and which therapies they require
• A personal details and general health questionnaire must be completed by each client prior to treatment. These are usually emailed prior to the appointment to be completed, this saves time.
• The Therapist must have a scheduled 10 minute break every hour.

Co-workers might arrange these therapies where company resourses are not available
