If you have had a treatment with Caroline, or you are thinking about it, please take a moment to read the aftercare advice. It is important that you become fully aware and understand what should be done by yourself both before and after a treatment in the interest of your personal health, safety and well being and to ensure you get the best results. Ensuring you read this will also maximise and prolong the benefits of your treatment . If you have any questions, comments or worries, please contact Caroline on 07754 256116

Massage Aftercare

Massage is an aid to the body's natural mechanisms to release stresses which have built up over a period of time.

To maximise the benefits, it is advised you follow the aftercare advise for 12 hrs

Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins.. Headaches can be a sign of dehydration
Avoid alcohol or smoking for 24 hrs as this increases the toxins in the body and so is counter productive.
Avoid heavy meals
Avoid sauna, steam rooms and other sources where heat can dehydrate you further
Avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight while oil is still on your skin ( at risk of burning )
Rest if you feel you need to
You may experience a feeling of tiredness or fatigue following a massage. In some cases headaches may follow
You may feel emotional
Increased urination or flu like symptoms (runny nose, coughing) may be experienced but these will be temporary as the body re-balances itself. A feeling of well-being follows

Facials

Always cleanse, tone and moisturise your face to prevent loss of moisture, protect the skin from makeup and keep the skin soft and supple

After Reiki, Crystal healing, Indian head massage, acupressure work or a pay for my time session, you often feel relaxed, less stressed and uplifted.
