About Ukiyo & FAQ
Welcome to Ukiyo
Let me introduce you to Ukiyo - a Japanese term which I connect with deeply as it embodies my approach to life. “A modern state of mind, living in the moment, detached from the bothers of life.”
After working as a carer mentor for 4 years & later within the skincare & beauty industry, I wanted to continue my career with face to face connection whilst considering my own wellbeing too. Ukiyo was born from a genuine passion of holistic & relaxation based treatments, being a client myself for the past 5 years! My clients will often hear me rave about the importance of stress release, self care & wellbeing & I know these treatments help both myself & them achieve this.
My menu includes a range of ethically sourced products which blend spa inspired fragrances with results driven treatments. 100% of products used are vegan, cruelty free & paraben free. 100% of my Tropic & Pinks Boutique ranges are natural, & between 36%-100% organic. All treatments on offer also have available home care products to purchase should you want to continue your wellbeing in the comfort of your own home.
Mindfulness has also been a huge influence in my personal life recently which I am extending into my very own concept of treatment: the Mindfulness Meditation based Massage. So, here is your official welcome to Ukiyo’s new era of wellness & I look forward to building a powerful, ladies only sanctuary striving for true balance, empowerment & relaxation.

As both a Tropic & Pinks Boutique ambassador, I take great pride in offering clients personalized product recommendations to use at home. Both brands demonstrate excellence & quality through their keen eye for ethics, being 100% natural & 36%-100% organic. Tropic boasts a totally carbon neutral, vegan & cruelty free range, whilst Pinks Boutique is also gluten free, & deemed totally organic by the Soil Association. It is a pleasure to not only use these products to their full potential in the treatment room, but also give you a touch of Ukiyo at home.

To save time at the start of your facial appointment, it is recommended to remove makeup beforehand & remove any jewellery such as necklaces & earrings. I include a complimentary neck & shoulder massage with each facial so wear a top that allows access to these areas such as a vest top. With regards to body treatments, please also remove jewellery & cover any open cuts or abrasions with a plaster - this is a health & safety requirement. If wearing fake tan, the treatment oils & scrubs can break down the tan, so time your appointment with your own tanning & body care routine!

A full breakdown of tips & ‘need to knows’ are given at the end of each treatment along with a paper copy, glass of water & Cliniccare skincare sample.

As a rule I recommend bringing your own products to an appointment. This is because although the products themselves may not include nuts, I cannot guarantee the factory the products are made in avoid nuts, or have other products linked to nuts. If you have this allergy please contact me directly on social media or text/WhatsApp & I can personalise a treatment for you using your own products.

You can contact me at any time to discuss treatment options & explore what would be suitable. If interested in facial treatments, I’d recommend sending me a photo of your skin via social media & I can recommend some facials for you. Treatments can be adjusted for you, to ensure you get the maximum benefit.

There are strict procedures surrounding treatment during pregnancy. Providing you have no complications or medical conditions you can enjoy a 45 minute arms, hands & head massage. I can also offer you a bespoke facial, please get in touch to discuss options.
Please note, you can only be treated after the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. The treatments suggested are 60 minutes or less & the products included are deemed pregnancy safe. I will prepare the room to be as comfortable as possible, providing extra cushions & support. Some ladies will require a doctor’s consent before beginning treatment if they are prone to miscarriage or sickness. To avoid any doubt, I invite you to contact me directly to discuss your desired treatment & any symptoms you may be experiencing. Pressure points will be avoided & a light massage completed to ensure your safety & comfort.

If you are receiving chemotherapy, my personal policy is to wait 3-6 months after the treatment has ended & your symptoms have reduced. If you have cancer but are not receiving chemotherapy, a doctor’s written consent is required before visiting to ensure my service is suitable for you, & should be provided at our first meeting.
