The slow session

Ninety minutes, with fewer words

Low light, longer and slower strokes, and almost no talking once we begin. For when you want to be left alone to settle.

We agree on pressure and any area to leave alone before the lights go down, and your therapist checks only if you want to be asked.

  • 90 minutes

  • Low light and a warm table

  • Quiet after the first few minutes

Dark water with small points of light moving across it, in black and white

How the session goes

  1. 01

    Step 1: A short talk

    Pressure, areas to leave alone, and whether you want to be checked on or left to it.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Lights down

    You get under the sheet while we step out. The room stays warm and the lamps stay low.

  3. 03

    Step 3: The long middle

    Slow strokes, held a little longer, over the back, legs, arms and feet in turn.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Staying put

    A few minutes to lie still before water, a chair and your coat.

What to know before you come

  • Pressure

    We ask before we start and check again partway through. Lighter or firmer is always your call.

  • Covered the whole time

    A sheet covers you throughout. Only the part being worked on is uncovered, and it is covered again when we move on.

  • Ask first

    If you are pregnant, or have had recent surgery or an injury, ask your doctor or midwife before you book.

  • What to wear

    Come in what is easy to take off. Undress to your comfort; there is a hook by the door and a place for boots.

Questions about this session

What if I want to talk?

Then we talk. The session is quiet by default, and you can change that at any point.

Is it firmer than Swedish?

No. The pressure is yours to set, light to firm. The difference is the pace and the quiet, not the pressure.

Why 90 minutes?

Longer strokes and longer holds need the time. A 90-minute session also takes a deposit that goes toward the session.
