Taster session consultation forms

[PIOLET211]

Calling all reflexologists......i need help!!!

I have two clients coming to see me tonight for a half hour taster session (half an hour each). The problem is, they are the first clients i have had who have booked the taster session i offer (most clients book a full consulation/treatment). The problem i have is that i won't have time to complete a full consultation form with them, but would still like some basic health info from them.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?

Also, i won't have time to complete my full 'routine' on the feet, but would like to offer them either a relaxing or energising treatment. Anyone got any tips on which points i could work to get the most outof 30 mins?

They only called me to book today, so i'm not very organised!!![&:]

If anyone could throw some tips my way in the next 30 mins i would really appreciate it!!!

Thanks guys

Hi

I don't know about reflexology but I do Reiki taster sessions. When I do them I just get the bare minimum info such as name address etc. any Dr's diagnosis and details of Dr and any medication. Then I check for any contraindications and that's it, I get on with the treatment.

It shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

Again Im not a reflexologist but could you just do each part of your routine for a reduced time?

Hope this helps

Hiya Kate,

Clients eh !!! I would just ask about possible total contra-indicatons/meds etc . So long as you explain this isn't a full consulation and normally it would be much more indepth.

Do the relaxation routine ~ work the head/neck/spine. Work quickly down from the lungs to the bottom of the small intestines the up on to the dorsal aspect and do a gentle walk down of the lymph areas. Finish with some more relaxation. This is fairly relaxing short session and as long as they're aware that there would be much more precice work done in a full session I'm sure they'll come back.

Good luck

Hi guys,

Thanks for the great advice. I will quickly type up some sort of consulatation form before i leave work.

Meridian Moon: Thanks for the tips.......i will give them a go and let you know how i get on.

The lady who booked up today sounded really excited, she said that she and her sister had been wanting to try reflexology for ages and got my card from a friend, so hopefully they will book up for a full course of treatments............i will just have to make sure that i impress!!!!

Thanks Again

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the tips you gave me last night.....they really came in handy!

I managed to give a lovely relaxing treatment in the 30 minutes timeframe and they both seemed really impressed! In fact they have both booked another session with me for a few weeks time, so it looks like its gonna pay off!

Taster sessions are a really good idea for therapists to offer to new clients. I know from personal experience that clients can be reluctant to book and pay for a full session when they are unsure about the therapy and have never tried it before. Its a really great way to 'break them in' as it were.

I charge £10 for a 30 minute taster session, and since it went so well last night, i plan to offer this to all new clients if they wish to 'try before they buy'.

Again, thanks for all of your advice!

Kate,
I picked up a taster form from the AOR website, and use it for all indulgence evenings etc. It only takes a few minutes to complete and I make sure to get their permission to send them more info on reflexology. Most say yes, and gives me a big mailing list for future promos etc. Pm or email me for more info if you like..
Cheers Kathryn

Hi Kate,
Well done on your tasters! I was just wondering, did you arrange them so that the two clients sat in on each other's sessions? When I have two new clients together like that I never know if it's best to do that so they are less nervous, or if the person observing might be a distraction and prevent the receiver from relaxing?

What do people think?

Thanks, Janet x

Hi Janet,

I also had that dilema. Luckily i have quite a nice house (listen to me bragging....sorry) so i was happy for each of them to sit in the lounge with a drink and some magazines while i was with the other in my therapy room. I did consider having them in the room at the same time, however i decided against it as my therapy room is not very large and i feel that three people would have made the room feel crowded. I also felt that they would have distracted each other to much to be able to fully enjoy their 30 mins of relaxation. They were fine with this and neither of them seemed to be nervous.
