Consultation Process
Each appointment booked will require a consultation form to be completed. If you are a new Customer this will be in a form of personal details, whether you wish to be contacted by us with marketing information which is totally your choice whether you opt-in rather than opt-out.
Medical conditions relating to certain treatments but not limited to facials and massage will also need to be filled in. This helps you receive the correct treatment and helps us be aware of any ailments you may have.

Right to refuse
I have the right to refuse any individual I feel is unfit for treatment. This will include any individual that appears under the influence of drugs and alcohol. This is in place to protect you as well as myself, your therapist.

Any medical conditions that are displayed as a contraindication will be explained to you by a therapist why this cannot be carried out.
In this instance, the therapist will discuss if there is another treatment suitable. (Not including alcohol or drug influence, this will result in no treatment given).
