Your First Visit

  1. Message us on Facebook. Tell us it’s your first time and that you’d like to book at Albany. Masumi may be with a client, so we’ll reply as soon as we can.
  2. Arrive 10 minutes early to fill in a short intake form.
  3. Talk about your goals. Masumi will ask about your concerns, what you’ve tried before, and how you’d like to feel.
  4. Relax. You stay fully clothed. Please wear or bring loose pants or yoga pants, and bring a water bottle.
  5. See the difference. We take before and after posture photos, and give you a 30-second exercise to do at home.

Light makeup and sunscreen are fine. We use oil on the face, so bring your makeup if you’d like to reapply it.

I am having sciatica pain down my right leg with some numbness. I am hoping with the rebalancing adjustment, the issue will become manageable. Masumi listened well to my problems and needs. She is very gentle and reassuring. She also explained every step along the way putting me at ease. My body did feel lighter after the first adjustment. I am keeping positive that I will see further improvements with several more treatments.

Masumi, was amazing. The room is well set up and very comfortable. Masumi spoke to me all the way through the treatment so I knew what was happening all times. Was extremely comfortable.

Masumi’s approach to our session was greatly appreciated – I was a little bit unsure due to recent surgery but she explained everything as she went which was reassuring. The treatment itself was different to anything I have had before. I was surprised that such great results could be achieved from the very gentle therapy. I am a very happy client who is already looking forward her next session! Thanks Masumi – the treatment really was incredible.

Absolutely fantastic! Not what I was expecting, but the treatment was very effective. Masumi provided exemplary service and explained the process as she went. I was a little bit nervous being 12 weeks post-surgery but the therapy was very gentle and Masumi made sure I was always comfortable. Despite the relaxing and gentle approach, I felt my body was in a much better place afterwards – a lot of the muscle tension and aches disappeared. I will have this treatment regularly – thank you Masumi!
