Your Questions, Answered

  • Yes, right now there are two options; a digital version you can email to the receipient, or a hard copy I can post either to you, or directly to the recipient.

    Email: the tidespace@gmail.com or WhatsApp on 07976008842 and I can get the best option sorted for you.

    The voucher is left open so you can gift either a financial amount or a specific treatment.

  • You can reach us via the contact page or thetidespace@gmail.com. If you need to get in touch with Ellie quickly, you can WhatsApp on 07976008842.

  • If you’d like to book a 121 session, click the ‘BOOK NOW’ button on the top right of the website.

    There is an ‘EVENTS’ page at the top of the website which lists any open events.

    Head to the ‘WORKPLACE’ link to discuss me coming to your place of work to offer therapies for your team.

    And if you’d like me to deliver a private session for you and a small group of people, drop me an email at thetidespace@gmail.com

  • The treatment room is based at 31 Potternewton Lane, Leeds LS7. The studio is within NorthLight Arts Centre.

    The 36, 3, 3A, 2 buses all run along Harrogate rtopsRoad (you get off at Chapel Allerton Hospital or Lidl bus stop - both are less than a 5 minute walk).

    There is free parking in the car park at the side of the building and on-street parking too.

  • Try not to drink caffeine, take recreational drugs, eat heavily processed foods or consume alcohol before your treatment.

    Drink plenty of water if possible and eat lightly.

  • Wear whatever is comfortable for you to relax in, though I do ask you to remove jewellery and watches so it might be easier to take those off at home and come without.

    If you are coming for massage, something on the top half of your body that is easy for you to take on and off.

    I do ask for no perfumes or heavy scents to be worn, but your confirmation email will explain all of this.

  • I offer upper body, face and head massage, Reiki energy healing, sound therapy, sound baths and tuning fork therapy. I am currently training in reflexology and should have this under my belt by September 2026.

  • Every client fills in a comprehensive form ahead of an appointment (if you struggle with forms I can fill this in over the phone for you). The form covers your preferences and sensitivities as well as medical history.

    I never burn incense, never wear any scent, always have short nails and never use chemical detergent on the bedding. All the bedding is soft, natural fabrics and the lighting low.

    Once your appointment is confirmed you will receive a PDF with a full run down of information to help you prepare for your time with me.

    If you need anything further, I’m happy to chat.

  • Absolutely. I can offer team sound baths, short massage treatments and energy healing locally off site and at your place of work.

    I can also bring The Tides to an event you might be running, to your home to deliver private 121 or group therapy or I can source a venue and set up an intimate wellness experience.

    I have a small group of trusted collaborators I work closely with across restorative and yin yoga, pilates, breathwork, facial massage and skin health, acupuncture, and tri-dosha vegetarian catering. So for example if you were looking for a yoga and sound session with lunch, I could put that together for you.

    Go to the homepage menu and click ‘WORKPLACE’ to fill in the form.

  • I get asked this a lot. It’s very much down to you in terms of capacity and finances. If you’re stressed about the cost or you’re dropping balls trying to get to me in amongst a crazy schedule, then we’re missing the point of what The Tides was built to do.

    Honestly I liken it to going to a gym; 1 session will make you feel better than not going at all, but when you go regularly, that’s when you see and feel a difference.

    A lot of my regular clients book the same time on the same day every week / fortnight / month and it becomes part of their life schedule. This helps maintain structure and reduces overwhelm.

  • Reiki / energy healing is not advised if you have a broken bone, if you are in your first trimester or if you have a fever.

    Sound healing is not advised if you are in your first or third trimester, if you are epileptic, have a pacemaker or any type of metal implant or severe mental health conditions (like schizophrenia or PTSD).

    * Please speak to your doctor or health professional if you are unsure about any of these contraindications.

  • I qualified as a Reiki practitioner in 2023, in early 2024 I completed L3 (advanced) sound therapy and in 2025 Indian Head Massage. I am currently training in reflexology, will be doing my Reiki Master training in the summer and will be expanding my massage and facial expertise late 2026 / 2027.
