Please arrive on time for your appointment.  If you arrive late your session may be shortened so as not to run into other scheduled appointment times.  I will do my best to provide you with the services you have booked, but cannot guarantee the full time if you arrive late.  There are no discounts for late arrivals.  

If you need to reschedule your appointment, you can either call or change your appointment online.  Cancellations without 24 hour notice will result in a charge for your session.    

If you are feeling unwell on the day of your appointment, please contact me as soon as possible to reschedule.  I work with people who have vulnerable health conditions and it is important that they (and I) are protected.  You will not be charged for rescheduling due to unforeseen illness.   

Please review my Clinic Policies for more information.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Soft touch Oncology Massage should never cause pain.  Your level of comfort is important for the outcome of your treatment therefore position and pressure adjustments are altered to suit each patient.

Depending on your chemotherapy treatment Carole may need to wear protective gloves and if you have a port the area will be avoided.  There should be no massage to any radiated areas for at least six weeks upon completion of treatment

This really depends on the reason for your visit.  If you are seeking massage for a remedial purpose, then weekly or fortnightly treatments are best until you start feeling results.   

A level of self-commitment is often required to achieve the quickest and best results.  Treatments for oncology massage may be scheduled around your treatment plan and fatigue levels.  Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatments for post-surgical recovery can be given multiple times per week.
