Booking an Appointment

 

You can book an appointment for any of my treatments by either phoning, texting or emailing us, you will find all our contact details in the “Contact Me” page on this website. Should you phone whilst we are with a client, do not hesitate to leave us a message with your name and number and we will phone you back as soon as we are free.

 

We understand that week days can be quite hectic, so weekend appointments (including Sundays), can also be arranged for certain treatments, subject to availability. 

 

We are always here to help, so please feel free to contact us if you’d like to discuss any of my treatments in more detail or need some advice prior to booking an appointment, especially if you are new to certain treatments. You can find quite a bit of information in the “About our Treatments” page on this website, but sometimes you will have other questions that we are happy to answer.

​

Consultation & Homecare

 

Due to the holistic nature of my business, we would like to mention the importance of finding out as much as possible about you as a whole person (holistic therapy focusses on treating the “whole”), so we can tailor the treatment and make it as effective as possible for you.

 

With any of the treatments we offer, it is always advisable to have them on a day when you don’t plan to do anything too strenuous or stressful afterwards to allow your body to fully absorb the beneficial treatment it has received and for you to feel the full effects of the therapy. We will also advise you about other things to be aware of after you have had a treatment.

 

Please make us aware of any medical conditions you are suffering from at the time of booking if possible, so we can advise you appropriately and plan your treatment accordingly. We also need to make sure that the treatment is safe for you to have should you suffer from a more serious health condition and assess whether consent from your GP is required. 

 

Complementary Therapy is used alongside conventional medical care. Always consult your GP or a health professional for urgent medical attention and advice.

 

Clients under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during the entire session. Informed written consent must be provided by the parent or legal guardian. Please inform me at the time of booking if the treatment is for a client under the age of 17.

​

Medical Contraindications

 

A contraindication means that you are either not able to receive a treatment (very rare) or it may need to be adapted or limited to certain areas of your body. Contraindications are there for your health and safety along with that of your therapist.

 

A total contraindication is a situation where a therapy needs to be avoided completely for medical or non-medical reasons.

 

A relative contraindication is a situation in which a massage practitioner may proceed with the treatment with the consent of the client’s GP or specialist, however, the therapist will need to modify techniques related to the client’s condition e.g. using lighter pressure.

 

A local contraindication is a situation in which a local area of the client’s body should not be massaged under any circumstances. This may be for the client’s own comfort, to avoid spreading infection or to avoid further injury.

 

Don’t worry too much if you are suffering from any ailments or conditions, it is very rare that it is totally unsafe to have a treatment and I will always advise you clearly if you either need the consent of your GP or specialist or whether we can go ahead with the therapy with or without adaptations.

​

Payment Methods

 

We accept cash or card payments for your convenience.

​

Lateness/Cancellation

 

Here at the Pure Shores Wellness we run a schedule of appointments that follow on from one another (we allow plenty of time for your consultation, treatment and aftercare) so, out of consideration for other clients, but also for yourself, so it doesn’t shave off any of your very precious treatment time, please do arrive on time for your appointment.

 

If you cannot make your booked time slot, please call me on 07939 331202 or message me as soon as possible to advise me of this. Appointments must be cancelled with 48 hours notice or the full treatment cost will need to be charged.
