Session
Long, even strokes at a pressure you choose, at any length from 30 to 90 minutes.
Swedish is the classic: slow gliding strokes, kneading and gentle rhythm. It suits first-timers and regulars alike. I work from the back to the arms, legs and feet, and spend longer on the places you name.
30 and 45 minutes
60 and 75 minutes
90 minutes
What happens
You say how you want the session to feel and where you want extra time.
Long, even strokes at a pressure we have agreed.
Each part is uncovered in turn and covered again when I move on.
A slower close, then time to rest before you get up.
Good to know
Pressure starts light to medium and goes where you want it. Ask for more or less at any point.
You are covered by a sheet or towel the whole time. Only the part I am working on is uncovered, and it is covered again when I move on.
If you are pregnant, or have had recent surgery or an injury, ask your doctor or midwife before you book, and tell me when you arrive.
Undress to your comfort and keep your underwear on if you prefer. You are covered throughout.

Questions
Yes. A 60-minute Swedish session is the one I suggest if you are not sure what pressure you like.
As often as you like. I will also check in with you.
If the next slot is open, I can add 15 minutes. Otherwise add it when you book.
