What treatment is right for me? If you're not sure where to start, get in touch and I can talk you through the options based on what you're looking for — whether that's deep relaxation, physical tension relief, or something more energetic like Reiki or sound healing.

Why choose Petal Talk Threrapies over another pratcitioner? As an Integrative Therapist for Women, specialising in burnout, stress reduction, and deep tension release, I help stressed and anxious women find real rest, not just a temporary escape. With 7 years of experience and training across a range of modalities, my approach is also gently shaped by personal experience of my own.

What's your approach as a therapist? Every session is a unique multisensory experience - a blend of skilled body massage, deep relaxation techniques, and aromatherapy — thoughtfully tailored to you, because your body and your story deserve more than a one-size-fits-all routine. This is your time to be truly seen, cared for, and celebrated.

How do I book a session? You can book directly through the website, it will take you to my booking system Fresha. Alternatively, get in touch by email/WhatsApp if you'd like to talk through which treatment is right for you first.

What's your cancellation/rescheduling policy?You can reschedule your appointment, and your payment will be transferred over to your future booking. If you are unabIe to reschedule, please get in touch with me at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. Cancellation will incure an admin fee.

What if I'm running late? Please let me know as soon as you can. Depending on how full the schedule is, I'll do my best to fit you in, but your session may need to run shorter so the next client isn't affected.

Do you offer gift certificates? Yes. Gift certificates can be purchased for any treatment or a set monetary value, and are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase.

Are there any reasons I shouldn't book a treatment? Some conditions mean a treatment needs to be adapted or isn't suitable, including pregnancy, recent surgery, certain skin conditions, active infections, or specific allergies. I will always ask to fill out a consultation form before the appointment, but feel free to contact me beforehand if you’re concern.

What should I tell you before my session? Please let me know about any medical conditions, injuries, allergies (particularly to essential oils), or medications that might affect your treatment. This helps me tailor the session safely to you.

Is this covered by health insurance? Some private health insurers do cover holistic therapies. It's worth checking directly with your provider, as this varies.

What should I wear? Depends on treatment — loose, comfortable clothing for most, bare in mind that the oils and herbal powders may stain bright coloured fabrics, so darker and older is better to wear after the treatment.

Is there anything I need to bring? Just yourself and a water bottle to stay hydrated after the session.

How might I feel afterwards? It's common to feel deeply relaxed, sometimes a little tired, occasionally emotional — these are all normal responses as the body and mind settle. Drinking plenty of water afterwards is recommended.

Is there any aftercare I should follow? Yes, I will always give you an individual aftercare advice after the session.

Where are you based? I work from 3 different studios - Stokes Croft BS2, Horfield BS7 and Westbury on Trym BS9. The location of your treatment is to be agreed prior to your session.

What payment methods do you accept? Your treatment will have to be confirmed with a deposit of 50% of the treatment price on the booking. The remaining amount can be paid by cash or card.

What are your qualifications? I'm a certified and insured massage therapist, yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner. I have a strong background in Oriental Bodywork. I’ve trained with CityLit, London School of Massage, Ayurvedic Yoga Massage UK, BCMB, Gateway Wokshops and Bristol School of Yoga.

I worked in all the possible settings…luxury spas, with private clients, providing mobile service and festival/event work. Loved it all (mostly;).
