As a new year comes round yet again this can either be filled with excitement or with dread. We have all been there, set those New year Resolutions that we really commit too on 1st January, but really the 2nd January right? The first day of the year always gets a free pass mainly because last night’s make up is still making an appearance and being wrapped up in the cosiest blanket burrito is current priority. The second day of the year finally emerges from the Christmas fog and you realise that there is a whole year ahead just waiting for some sort of action from you, feels daunting yes?

So here is everything i believe is worth knowing as a client when getting a massage.
