Re-decorated Therapy Room

I am very excited to share with you, photographs and video of my newly redecorated therapy room. :)

Redecoration thanks to my landlord Rev Phil Hudd who hosts Holistyx in his home, the vicarage at 1 East Road, Lancaster LA1 3EE.

Photography and Video by my partner, Chris Up Front.

​I really hope everyone likes the new look. So far, I am very happy to say, I have had lots of positive reactions and feedback.  :)​

If you come for an appointment and I don't ask you what you think of my newly decorated room - it doesn't mean I don't want to know what you think!

Its because - I have decided I don't want to put you on the spot by asking! In case you don't like it or aren't keen - and aren't comfortable to say so. That would detract from your appointment time being about YOU and your comfort and relaxation.

So... if you'd like to comment when you see it, I absolutely want to hear your thoughts. :)

Going Towards 2017... New Prices

I am fully booked up to the end of this year, and I am booking into January. From the 5th of December I will start taking bookings for February. So, I decided rather than wait till Jan 1st to put up my new year prices it would make more sense to do it now as that is the price that anyone booking me from now on will be paying. So all prices on my website are now 2017 prices.

(NB if there is a cancellation and you get an appointment in 2016, you will of course be charged 2016 prices.)

The full price lists for all the different treatment options are given on my Price List page, and on the pages about particular treatment types, eg Swedish Massage, Reflexology, etc.

As I am continuing to charge by time, rather than by what I do in the time - e.g. if you have an hour of Indian head massage it costs the same as an hour of Reflexology - here's a handy sum up of the difference between my 2016 and 2017 prices.

However, please note that hour and 3/4 sessions are no longer offered for new clients. I am including the prices here for benefit of regular clients I have agreed to continue this option for.

Also, half hour sessions are not available for a first appointment (which is why they are not included in my price lists). Please enquire after your first session if you are interested in half hour sessions.

When Is Your Next Available Appointment?

I am usually fully booked up to around 5-7 weeks in advance. Book well in advance to avoid disappointment, particularly for those who need evening or weekend appointments. If you are only looking for a same day or next day appointment, this is highly unlikely to be available.

Please also see Short Notice Appointments: If you get a cancellation will you let me know? 

How Far Ahead Can I Book You?

Over the last year or so, I have been taking bookings up to a maximum of 3 calendar months ahead. I've decided to rein that in a bit.

From 1st April, I will open up my diary for bookings for the month of June.
From 1st May, I will open up my diary for bookings for the month of July.


So at the beginning of each month you can schedule 3 full months ahead with me. But then as we go through each month, it will just be to the end of that month + two months.

Not having my schedule fixed so far in advance will allow me a little more flexibility as opportunities come along. It will be fairer for those clients who don't know their schedule or when they want to come so far ahead. Plus it should reduce the amount of rescheduling needed as peoples plans change.

I hope this will work out better for most of us.

Short Notice Appointments: When You Get a Cancellation - Will You Let Me Know?

Due to people needing to cancel or reschedule, appointments are occasionally available at short notice. I keep a waiting list of people who have asked to be informed if something comes up. Do let me know if you would like to be added to it, and by all means any brief notes to add on which days and times you would, or would not, be interested in. Even though there are often several people on the list, as they all have different availability it is still worthwhile to be added if you are interested in short notice appointments.
