New Bookings

If you are making your first appointment, I will reserve your slot for you and I will ask you to do a Bank Transfer to confirm the appointment. Once this is done, it's in the diary and I will send you an email to confirm this.

If payment hasn't been made within 24 hours of the booking being made, then I will assume you'd rather not come, and I will cancel it.

"If you're feeling out of kilter

don't know why or what about;

Let your feet reveal the answer.

Find the sore spot, work it out."
