Integrative Bodywork Intake & Consent Form

To help you receive the greatest benefit from your session, please consider the following recommendations:

1. Arrive well hydrated and continue drinking water after your session.

2. Where possible, avoid rushing before your appointment. Giving yourself time to slow down beforehand often allows you to settle more deeply into the experience.

3. Wear comfortable clothing and allow yourself some quiet time after the session before returning to demanding activities.

4. Some clients notice increased awareness of physical sensations, emotions, thoughts, or memories during or after bodywork. This is a normal part of becoming more connected to your body and internal experience.

5. If helpful, you may wish to reflect on your experience through journalling or quiet contemplation following your session.

6. Avoid excessive alcohol or recreational drug use immediately before or after your appointment, as this may reduce your ability to fully experience and integrate the benefits of the session.

7. Prioritise rest and recovery. Many clients report deeper relaxation and improved sleep following bodywork.

8. Be patient with yourself. Every person responds differently, and there is no “right” way to experience a session.

9. If you have any questions or concerns following your appointment, you are welcome to get in touch.

10. Above all, approach the experience with curiosity rather than expectation. The most valuable outcomes often arise when you allow yourself to simply be present with whatever you notice.

Integrative Bodywork is a professional bodywork practice designed to support relaxation, body awareness, nervous system regulation, and a deeper sense of connection with oneself.

Every session is tailored to the individual. Some clients primarily experience physical relaxation and relief from tension, while others notice emotional shifts, greater self-awareness, or a renewed sense of presence and wellbeing.

The intention is not to create any specific outcome, but rather to provide a safe, respectful environment in which you can relax, receive, and reconnect with your body.

Clients remain appropriately draped at all times according to the nature of the treatment being provided, and informed consent forms the foundation of every session.

You remain in control throughout the process and are encouraged to communicate your preferences, comfort levels, and boundaries at any stage.

Sometimes painful emotions or sensations arise and it is up to you to decide if you want to pause, stop or if you want to work through them and release them.
