Health and Safety – FAQs

What are you doing to ensure my safety when attending an appointment due to COVID-19?

I keep up-to-date with this changing situation, so I will advise of the protocols for your appointment and send you a pre-screening questionnaire. Alternatively, you can have a virtual wellbeing appointment from the comfort of your own home, where I can assess your challenges and design an online, bespoke package of care for you.

How often should I get a treatment?

If you are looking to keep your stress levels in check, once every 3-6 weeks would be good to keep you on track. If your goals are different and you have a specific issue, then it is recommended to have more frequent appointments and then gradually space these out.

What if I have a medical condition?

Please inform me of any medical conditions, allergies or sensitivities, recent surgical or aesthetic procedures and whether or not you are or could be pregnant. Please also mention if you have limited mobility (this will determine the best clinic location for you).

When is it not advisable to have a treatment?

Please cancel your appointment if you have viral symptoms, a cough, cold, fever, diarrhoea or vomiting. Some contraindications such as recent operations, cuts, burns and contagious skin conditions, or menstruating can be worked around. Cancer and certain heart conditions require a letter from your GP or consultant. If you aren’t sure, please get in touch before your appointment.

When is it not advisable to have a therapeutic facial treatment?

Facial treatments aren’t suitable if you have had Botox or Dermal Fillers in the last six weeks; operations in the last 6 months for a small scar and 2 years for a major operation, epilepsy, styes, conjunctivitis, cold sores and lymphatic cancers. Due to the reclined nature of this treatment, this treatment is not suitable beyond 18 weeks of pregnancy.

What are the benefits of a Pregnancy Massage?

At a time when you really don’t want to be taking painkillers, this is a natural, safe way to reduce aches and pains. Both mother and baby will benefit from boosted oxygen and nutrient levels, balanced blood pressure and hormone levels. Reduces stress, aids relaxation, and improves sleep. Book your first pregnancy massage after your 12th week.

My Zoom healing appointment with Lara was amazing. Her caring attitude, communication, and knowledge of a great variety of techniques enables her to deliver clear advice and an effective treatment. We worked on a variety of strengthening and stretching exercises that not only left me energised and more flexible, but was really fun too.

V.V. Essex

Your treatments have helped me with sleeping more soundly, waking less in the night, and sleeping longer in the morning. Given the ongoing stress I have been under, I can only conclude that your treatments have significantly improved my ability to cope, and to keep a stable mood. Thank You.

H.S. Wimbledon

Since COVID-19, I’ve had to work from home – sitting all day, my lower back was in agony. Lara suggested Emmett healing via Zoom, I wasn’t sure how this would work. WOW! after 30 minutes, the agony I had in my lower back went, and to this day I don’t have any back pain. I highly recommend this treatment.

K.P. London

Lara has effectively used the Emmett Technique and massage to eliminate my persistent lower back pain as well as foot and heel pain. She has also been able to relieve stress and tension from my neck and shoulders. The relief, as a result of her treatments, is immediate and long-lasting. I would highly recommend her treatments.

A.E. Wimbledon

After an extremely stressful and emotionally draining week I had the pleasure of seeing Lara and receiving a Reflexology Facial. I feel more relaxed and at ease than I have in a very long time and the results afterwards were unbelievable. I am a very anxious person, and this treatment has definitely given me a clearer mind frame. Thank You Lara!

K.H. Morden

I’ve been having The Emmett Technique combined with Lymphatic Drainage Massage regularly with Lara to improve the circulation in my legs, and found it very beneficial for my Restless Leg Syndrome. I’ve had RLS in both of my thighs for many years making it difficult to be seated for long periods of time. It’s been significantly relieved, I hardly notice it now.

S.Y. Morden

What Lara does is magical and amazing! I didn’t ever think that my severe head pain could be eased with such a gentle touch and so quickly too. I always look forward to my treatments as they are so calming and soothing. I’m hooked!
