FAQs
Frequently asked questions that you're maybe wondering about. Let me help to answer them.
Will I have to fill out a form?
​Yes. As a new client you will be expected to complete a form with questions about your current health and any past health concerns that may be relevant. I may verbally ask you some questions too.
I expect you to update me if any thing changes with your health at future appointments (if relevant).
​
​Is there plenty of parking?
Yes. Free parking outside the house or in the middle cul-de-sac car park.
​
Is the clinic inside a house?
Yes. My house, however the client space is separate to the living space with a client bathroom and lounge.
​
​​Is the area noisy?
No. As the clinic is based in a cul-de-sac it is very quiet. You may hear birdsong and perhaps the odd lawnmower in summer!
​
Will I be informed of post appointment relevant information?
Yes, you will be given advice relating to your appointment and concerns that you may have about your health relating to your appointment. I may advise you to seek other health professional advice.
​
How will I pay?
You can pay either by cash or bank transfer (sorry, EFTPOS is not available). The bank details will be given to you at your appointment.

I have other concerns/questions that are not mentioned above!
Please email Lorna at lorna@bodytonic.co.nz or call/text Lorna on 021 1445111 for any other queries you may have.
​
For the body massage, will I be left with oily hair?
​No. I wash my hands prior to the head massage, so as to limit oil on your scalp/hair - unless requested otherwise.
​
Will I be left oily after the massage?
Not usually! I use Sweet Almond oil which not only allows for a smooth glide but also holds therapeutic and anti-inflammatory properties. I typically don't use too much allowing you to absorb most of it. I use warmed towels which help allow you to absorb it better and to eliminate the excess.
​
Will you talk to me throughout the relaxing massage appointment?
I invite you to come to BodyTonic to not only heal but also to relax. After the initial form filling or catch-up I will not speak unless you speak to me. This is your time! However, during non-relaxatio in massage appointments (aside from Bowen Therapy) it will be necessary to communicate with you in regards to pressure, areas of tension - how it feels etc...
