I will wear a mask for indoor sessions, should you request me to do so.

If I feel unwell, I will cancel the appointment and prioritise a new booking once I am well again.

Some days I am involved in filming mostly as a "Supporting Artiste". This means I am usually an extra in the background. Sometimes I am featured and have one or two lines. It's fun and my hobby. It helps my body and hands to rest and recover from my work as a therapist. I find it re-energises me and enables me to deliver a quality service to my therapy clients.
