Questions & answers
Booking, the deposit, prices and what to expect. Anything else — just ask Irina on WhatsApp.
How do I book?
Send Irina a WhatsApp on 07446 283477 with the massage you'd like, 60 or 90 minutes, and the days that suit you. You can also call, email irinabt03@gmail.com or use the booking form on the contact page. Appointments are Monday to Saturday, by appointment only, with flexible times.
Is there a deposit?
Yes. A 50% deposit secures your appointment. If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, the deposit is not refunded.
Where is the studio?
Irina works from a private studio in South Oxhey, Watford (WD19). The full address is sent to you when you book. She doesn't do home visits.
How much does a massage cost?
Every massage is £65 for 60 minutes or £85 for 90 minutes: sports, deep tissue, hot stone, Theragun, de-stress and pregnancy massage. Regular clients get a loyalty discount.
60 or 90 minutes — which should I choose?
60 minutes is enough for one or two focus areas, like the back and shoulders. 90 minutes gives time for a full-body massage with extra work where you need it. If you're not sure, ask Irina on WhatsApp.
What will Irina ask before the massage?
Which area hurts and for how long, which type of massage you'd like, whether you've had a recent injury or operation, and whether a doctor or physio has advised massage. It helps her choose the right pressure and technique.
Can I have a massage while pregnant?
Yes. Pregnancy massage is done lying on your side, well supported with cushions. Please check with your midwife or GP before booking, and tell Irina how far along you are.
Will it hurt?
Deep tissue and sports massage can feel intense on tight areas, but it should never be more than you're comfortable with. Irina adjusts the pressure throughout — just tell her.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes. Gift cards are valid for one year. Message Irina on WhatsApp to arrange one.
Is massage a medical treatment?
No. Massage can help with muscle tension, stiffness and recovery, but it does not replace medical advice. If you have a medical condition or a recent injury, speak to your GP first.
