FAQs

  • For your first visit to Coastal Calm Massage, you’ll be welcomed into a warm, tranquil environment. We’ll begin with a brief consultation to discuss your needs, any areas of discomfort, and complete a consent form if you haven’t already done so online. Your session will be tailored to address your specific concerns, whether you’re seeking relaxation, pain relief, or stress reduction, with special attention given to any targeted areas.

    I’ll guide you on what to wear during your massage, and you’ll have complete privacy to settle comfortably onto the massage table. For your comfort, I use soft, large towels and blankets, and the room will be kept cosy with a heated blanket on the table. Relaxing music will be playing, but feel free to let me know if you have any preferences.

    Throughout the massage, you’re welcome to share your preferences for pressure and focus areas. Alternatively, you can simply relax and let go, allowing yourself to drift into deep relaxation.

    After the treatment, you’ll have privacy to change at your own pace. We’ll then discuss aftercare recommendations for the rest of the day, and I’d love to hear any feedback you may have. If desired, we can also talk about a treatment plan and schedule your next appointment, though there’s absolutely no pressure to do so.

    My goal is to ensure you feel completely cared for, relaxed, and rejuvenated, leaving you with a renewed sense of well-being.

  • For now, your massage will take place in the comfort of my home, in a serene and private living room that I’ve thoughtfully designed to offer a peaceful, inviting atmosphere. As a non-smoking family with two dogs, I want to ensure your comfort, so the dogs will be kept in a separate room during your session. However, if you have a dog allergy, please note that, unfortunately, we cannot accommodate you in my home at this time.

    I’m also thrilled to share that I have exciting plans in progress for a bespoke treatment room in a private garden studio, which I anticipate will be ready by Summer 2026. This new space will provide a truly luxurious and tranquil environment, nestled in my beautiful garden, designed to elevate your massage experience even further. I can't wait to welcome you there soon!
