FAQ's

What should I wear?
Wear clothing you feel comfortable in. All treatments are performed with your comfort and privacy in mind, and you will never be required to fully undress. For treatments involving massage to the back, shoulders and upper body, you'll be asked to remove your top clothing so I can work effectively on these areas. You'll remain covered with a blanket or towel throughout, with only the area being worked on uncovered at any time. I'll always explain what you need to remove before we begin and make sure you're comfortable with everything.

Can I wear make-up?
As facial and scalp massage are included, please remove makeup and ideally arrive with a clean face.

How early should I arrive?
Around 5 minutes before your appointment is perfect. As treatments take place in my home, please avoid arriving too early.

What products do you use?
I only use natural skincare and body care products in my treatments.
For massage treatments, I use organic sweet almond oil and Tropic's luxury body oils with a jojoba & macadamia oil base mixed with essential oils. I choose products that feel nourishing and gentle on the skin. For my holistic facial treatments, I use Tropic Skincare, a British skincare brand focused on naturally derived, plant-based ingredients. If you have allergies, sensitive skin or specific ingredient sensitivities, please let me know when completing your consultation form so I can check the products used and make any necessary adjustments.

Can I have a treatment if I've recently had surgery?
This depends on the type of surgery and your individual circumstances. Please let me know when completing your consultation form and seek advice from your healthcare professional if needed.

What if I fall asleep?
That's completely fine! These treatments are designed to help you deeply relax, so there's no need to stay awake.

Can I choose which areas are worked on?
Absolutely. We'll have a quick chat before your treatment so I can understand where you're holding tension and what you'd particularly like to focus on. I'll also check in with you throughout the treatment.

Can sound healing be included in my treatment?
Where offered, a gentle sound healing element can be incorporated at the end of your treatment. This is always optional and can be adapted or omitted if you have sound sensitivity or simply prefer a quieter experience.

Do I need to talk during my treatment?
Not at all. I'll check in with you about your comfort, pressure and anything important during the treatment, but otherwise you're welcome to simply switch off, relax and enjoy some quiet time.

I'm not sure which treatment is right for me - what should I book?
If you're unsure, just get in touch. Tell me what you're looking for and I'll help you choose the treatment that feels most suitable.

Before your Appointment

You'll receive everything you need to know when your appointment is confirmed.

For your first treatment, I'll ask you to complete a short health and wellbeing consultation form beforehand. This helps me understand your individual needs and make sure your treatment is comfortable and appropriate for you.

Please avoid arriving immediately after a large meal, and give yourself a little time to slow down before your treatment where possible.

As facial and scalp massage are included, please remove makeup and ideally arrive with a clean face. This allows me to work comfortably around the face and eyes without transferring makeup onto the skin.

Location & Arriving

Treatments take place in my calm, private home treatment space on Brent Road, Stirchley, Birmingham (B30). Full address will be provided when your appointment is confirmed.

As treatments take place in my home, please arrive around 5 minutes before your appointment rather than too early. This gives me time to prepare the space and welcome you in without rushing.

If you're running late, please send me a message to let me know. Your treatment will still finish at the original appointment time so that I can stay on schedule for the next client.

Cancellation Policy

As appointments are reserved especially for you, I kindly ask for at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule.

Cancellations or rescheduling with 48 hours or more notice will receive a full refund minus £2.50 admin fee or can be moved to another available appointment.

Cancellations with less than 48 hours' notice will be subject to a 50% cancellation fee. Cancellations within 24 hours of the appointment, or missed appointments/no-shows, are non-refundable.

If you are unwell, please let me know as soon as possible. I understand that sometimes things happen unexpectedly and will always try to be reasonable where genuine circumstances arise.

Health Considerations

Your safety and comfort always come first.

Before your first treatment, you'll be asked to complete a health consultation form. Please let me know about any medical conditions, recent surgery or injuries, pregnancy, allergies, medications, skin conditions or other relevant health considerations.

Some conditions may mean that a treatment needs to be adapted, postponed or may not be suitable. If you're unsure whether a treatment is appropriate for you, please get in touch before booking and, where necessary, seek advice from your healthcare professional.

If anything changes between completing your form and your appointment, please let me know.

My treatments are designed to support relaxation and general wellbeing and are not intended to diagnose, treat or cure medical conditions or replace medical care.

  • "Krissi is a very caring and considerate practitioner"

    Enjoyed a very relaxing Indian Head Massage with Reiki. There was a very welcoming atmosphere and Krissi put me completely at ease. I was comfortable and able to fully relax and rest. It was so nice to have time afterwards to gently ground again, with no rush to leave. Krissi is a very caring and considerate practitioner. I will be returning, and 100% recommend!

  • "A truly indulgent experience - highly recommend!"

    Such a relaxing head massage and facial. Beautiful products, calming atmosphere, and my skin felt amazing afterwards. A truly indulgent experience - highly recommend!

  • "Totally relaxing and uplifting"

    I had a wonderful head massage from Kristina. Being an Indian head massage it also includes the shoulders and neck and it was so relaxing, with very calm music playing in the background, lovely aromas too, especially from the oil that she used. The surroundings were perfect and at the end of the head massage Kristina burned some Palo Santo and conducted a short sound ceremony. Totally relaxing and uplifting at the same time. I would highly recommend!

the art of touch and rest

My Approach to Holistic Treatments

My relationship with holistic bodywork has grown alongside my own exploration of yoga, embodiment and the body. I’m fascinated by the ways we experience ourselves through the physical body, and by how mindful touch can create space to slow down, soften and reconnect.

I’ve trained in Indian Head Massage, Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage in India and Thai Yoga Massage in Thailand, each offering a different perspective on working with the body through touch, pressure, movement, rhythm and presence.

These traditions have deepened my understanding of touch as more than simply a physical experience. When we slow down enough to receive, we can become more aware of the subtle sensations and signals of the body, creating an opportunity to rest, release and simply be.

A Space to Pause & Receive

For me, holistic treatments are an invitation to step away from the pace of everyday life and come back into the body.

Whether you’re receiving a massage, facial ritual or another restorative treatment, my intention is to create a calm and nurturing space where you can soften, breathe and simply receive.

There is nothing you need to achieve or perform. You can arrive exactly as you are, take a moment to settle into yourself, and allow yourself to be cared for.

My Embodied approach

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every body is different, and what you need can change from day to day.

I work intuitively and mindfully, adapting each treatment to you - taking into consideration how you’re feeling, what your body may be asking for and what would feel most supportive in that moment.

My approach draws from the different Eastern bodywork traditions I’ve trained in - from the flowing, nurturing techniques of Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage, which I studied in India, to the more dynamic, movement-based approach of Thai Yoga Massage, which I trained in Thailand.

Alongside these traditional bodywork practices, I draw on my experience in yoga, somatic practices and embodied movement. I weave together touch, presence and awareness to create treatments that feel nurturing, grounding and restorative.

My intention isn’t to fix or change you, but to offer a space where you can pause, receive and reconnect with yourself.
