The initial consultation allows the practitioner to assess your needs and mutually agree on the best approach to massage, for you. It gives you a chance to ask questions and raise any concerns that you may have. The massage room at the back of Alan's house is a clear, relaxed space.

Massage usually contacts the skin directly with the use of oil. Areas not being massaged are covered with towels. If you have concerns around this, please raise them during the consultation. It is after all, your massage.
You may not want a busy day following massage, so that you can fully appreciate the benefits - treat yourself !
