Can I upgrade my treatment?
Of course! We want you to enjoy your visit, relax and have the opportunity to enjoy the treatment of your choice subject to availability. 25 and 50 minute inclusive treatments may be exchanged for credit to use against a more expensive treatment – you just pay the difference on booking.

A selection of treatments are available to purchase when booking online. Alternatively, you may request a treatment via our e-concierge once your booking is confirmed, speak with one of the team on 01255 860050 option 1 or email enquiries@lifehouse.co.uk to check availability.
Full payment is required to guarantee your treatment. A 24-hour cancellation policy applies. Treatments cancelled within this time will not be refunded.

What facilities can I use during pregnancy?
To protect baby, the Thermal Spa area, including the Hydrotherapy Pool, Salt Inhalation Room, Steam Room or Sauna, should not be used during any stage of pregnancy. This is because an unborn baby is unable to regulate its body temperature and any increase in your body heat may affect the flow of blood and nutrients to your baby. However, we do encourage you to enjoy a swim in the pool!
You may enjoy selected facials, manicures and pedicures, and once you are past your 12 weeks scan you may enjoy a maternity massage treatment. Please advise of pregnancy on booking and we will be happy to advise which treatments you are able to enjoy.
