What is deep tissue massage?
Deep tissue massage involves a variety of techniques to promote well being and ease those aches and pains you maybe experiencing in different parts of the body. Depending on your reasons for massage this can include long slow deep global strokes, fascial release, trigger point therapy, stretches or a combination of all!
What’s the difference between a 60 and 90 minute treatment?
A 60 minute session aims to focus on up to three areas of the body, (for example back, shoulders, neck), where the 90 minute session allows us the extra time for a full body massage. Both are very relaxing and therapeutic.
Why do you use wax rather than oil in your treatments?
I use vegan wax made from essential oils such as lavender. This glides beautifully on the body but with more traction then oil so I can work more slowly and really listen and iron out those kinks! Having said that, if you prefer warm oil for a relaxing treatment, I always have this option on standby.
To bare or not to bare?
First off I will always use towels to protect your modesty. Before the treatment begins I will be leave you in the room to change and you will have access to towels to drape yourself. It is then your choice whether you prefer to wear underwear underneath the towels for your actual treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
If you are simply coming for a full body relaxing massage for well being then I suggest one treatment every 4 – 6 weeks to really feel the benefit. If you are coming to me with a specific pain condition or complaint then I recommend up to 6 sessions, once weekly. If we are not making progress after 3 treatments then we will reassess at that point.
How do I make a booking with listening Touch?
Why do you require a card to secure the booking?
I require a card to protect against no shows and cancellations that are under 24 Hours. No money is ever taken until after the appointment and you can choose to pay by cash or a card of your choice on the day. The information from your card is masked and not kept on file.
Where are you located?
I am located in the village of Chobham, Surrey, where I have my own treatment room. I am only 8 mins from both the M25 (junction 11) and M3 (junction 3). If you are coming by train, my nearest stations are woking ( fastest trains are 23 mins from London, Waterloo) and sunning dale.
Do you offer outcalls?
I do offer outcalls to the local and surrounding areas. However it’s important to note that you need to ensure you have enough room at your home to set up my massage table with plenty of room for me to work around. Outcalls are charged at double the rate advertised to take into account the time involved getting to/from your home /setting up and travel costs.
What forms of payment do you accept on the day?
I currently accept both cash and card. For card payments I can take this online from the card you have registered or, if you can choose to pay with another day on the day, I can take this manually via card machine.
