Preparing for your appointment

Cat allergy sufferers please note

Irris and Jess our rescue cats, live on the premises. Although they are banned from the clinic room, please take any precautions you feel necessary to avoid an allergic reaction.

Clinic room

The clinic room is on the first floor and accessed via stairs with a bannister.  Please contact me to discuss whether walking up stairs may be difficult for you.  My treatment couch can take a maximum weight of 500lbs/226kg/35 stone.

Privacy policy

I keep short written notes on sessions. They are stored securely in a locked filing cabinet and will be kept for 7 years after completion of therapy in line with insurance requirements. I am compliant with current GDPR legislation. Please read the Privacy policy

Clothing

I recommend you wear comfortable clothing and for KORE and acupuncture appointments, clothing that consists of a top and bottom.

Always consult your GP or a health professional for medical attention and advice

The therapies I offer should not be used in place of conventional medical care.

    • Sanitise your hands – hand sanitiser is provided
    • I will lead you upstairs to the clinic room
    • Toilet facilities are limited to the upstairs toilet where there will be a hand sanitising area only as there is no sink in this room
    • Between clients all linen is replaced and all areas cleaned down. I am happy to share my cleaning ‘check list’ with you, if you would like to read it, please ask
