Before you lie down
Tell us how you like to be touched
The consultation is the ritual, not a form in the way.
Pressure is not a personality. Someone who wants strong work on the back may want almost nothing on the legs. Someone returning for lymphatic drainage may want the light sequence left entirely alone.
We ask, and we write it down, because the power of touch is only useful when it is the touch you asked for. If you are pregnant, recently in procedure, or simply not in the mood for the face, say it in the note. Some rituals wait for another week. That is a good outcome, not a failed booking.
On the mirror in the suite, the house keeps a sentence: nothing changes if nothing changes. The smaller version is this — tell us the truth about today, and the hour can meet it.
