 Preparation/ your first visit to Holistic AngelWhen meeting Holistic Angel for the first time please arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment time for your free consultation.   Ann-Marie will take you through a brief questionnaire recording your responses and then it is read and signed by you.   It is extremely important that any medical or other conditions are mentioned at this time to ensure you get the most from your treatment and it is safe to proceed with the treatment. After the initial consultation  Ann-Marie will leave the treatment room and you will be asked to remove your clothes leaving your underwear on and to drape yourself in the sheet provided lie face down on the massage table or sit down, depending on which treatment is being carried out.  Ann-Marie will then knock on the treatment room door asking you are ready for your treatment to begin then enter the treatment room and the treatment will begin.
