Look through yellow pages - I found a really nice place that does all those sorts of therapies that way. Personally I quite like the therapists that do reiki as well as they tend to do that at the same time as the massage - lovely
Glad you're ok.

Oh God, FF. Only just seen this thread. I'm so very sorry for you and yours. I hope treatment goes well.

Have a look in your Yellow pages or on Yell.com for complimentary / holistic / alternative therapists...

fairyfly · 17/01/2005 15:16

I cant find anything, im never like this, im slightly in a dream state and dont know what im looking for at all. Tried things under those three headings but nothing came up. I can imagine booking my mum in with a prostitute by mistake.

your county will do. Are you Cheshire based ?

NameChangingMancMidlander · 17/01/2005 15:26

yell.com have a 'Complimentary Therapies' classification. Or you can just type 'indian head massage' into the yell.com site and your location yourself. It churned out loads when I asked it for the same in Cheshire.

fairyfly · 17/01/2005 15:26

Yep, south Manchester/Cheshire, part of the cheshire set and constantly in cheshire life sipping champers

Yell.com search page Type Indian Head Massage into the 1st search box and your location into the 3rd.

NameChangingMancMidlander · 17/01/2005 15:27

How are you today Fairyfly? My mum got her date for chemo on monday - she starts next friday.

fairyfly · 19/01/2005 15:52
