On your first visit, Kate will take a brief medical and lifestyle history then have a chat about the type of massage that would best suit you. You will then be asked to undress the area of the body that will be massaged; you will have complete privacy doing so. You will be covered with towels during your massage to keep you warm and comfortable. After your massage you will have a few minutes to rest before dressing.
