Before you book Shirodhara or Abhyanga
A few questions and a little health information help you and the practitioner decide whether a session suits you.
Questions to ask when you book
- Which therapy is right for what I want?
- How long is the session?
- Which oil or liquid will be used?
- What does a session cost?
- Is there anything I should do or avoid beforehand, such as a heavy meal?
Information to share
Mention anything that could affect whether the therapy is suitable:
- Allergies to oils, milk or herbs
- Skin or scalp conditions
- Pregnancy
- Recent injury, surgery or illness
- Medicines you take regularly
- Any health condition you are being treated for
If you have a health concern
These therapies are for relaxation. If you have symptoms or a long-term condition, a physician consultation is the better first step.

Common questions
Do I need a doctor's advice first?
Not for everyone. If you are pregnant, have a skin condition, a long-term illness or recent surgery, check with your doctor first.
Can I stop a session if I am uncomfortable?
Yes. Tell the practitioner straight away if anything feels wrong.
