🪴Over the past few years, this little space has grown into something really special, and I’m so grateful for each and every one of you who walks through the door.

To continue offering the same level of care, time and attention that I value so deeply in my treatments, there will be a small price adjustment to massage/bodywork services.

From the 1st April 2026 new pricing will be:
• 30 mins – $65
• 60 mins – $110
• 90 mins – $165

This is the first increase in 3 years, and it allows me to keep doing what I love in a sustainable way, while continuing to provide quality treatments for you.

Thank you for your ongoing support and trust in my small heart filled business, it truly means the world to me 🙏

💜Kylie

I’m so excited to now have the CHELSEA JEAN DUAL-ACTION LYMPHATIC GLOVES available in clinic.

One of my biggest passions is supporting the lymphatic system through Manual Lymphatic Drainage — because when your lymph is flowing well, everything feels lighter… less puffy, less sluggish, more clear.

These gloves are a beautiful way to continue that support at home.

✨ The textured side helps stimulate and open lymph flow (a deeper, more effective alternative to traditional dry brushing).

✨ The magnetic ball side allows you to massage more deeply, helping move lymph, ease muscle tension and support recovery.

They’re simple to use, easy to clean, travel-friendly and a powerful addition to any detox or wellness routine — without being complicated or expensive.

How to use:
Always begin at the chest and work toward the heart, following the correct lymphatic sequence. Use the textured side first to stimulate flow, then the magnetic side for deeper support.

Please note:
If you have a pacemaker or ICD, the magnetic balls should not be used (they can be removed, and the gloves still work beautifully without them).

If you’ve had lymphatic drainage with me and want to maintain your results between sessions, this is a lovely tool to support your body at home.

Available in clinic — feel free to ask me about them 🌿

Deep in the books lately 📚

I’ve been studying how emotions, the nervous system and the immune system are all connected — and how these patterns can actually be seen in the iris.

One of the biggest takeaways: our body doesn’t just get sick randomly… it communicates.

Sometimes symptoms are the body’s way of saying something is out of balance.

Our inherited tendencies may be there, but our experiences, stress and reactions often decide whether they turn into physical issues.

Learning this is changing the way I look at health — not just what is happening in the body, but why.
It’s a reminder that healing isn’t only physical.

Life is 10% what happens and 90% how we respond.

Excited to keep bringing this understanding into clinic 💜

Made a fresh batch of lemon & honey cordial this afternoon 🍋🍯

Homegrown lemons + local raw honey — simple, clean and refreshing.

Just add water:
• cold for a refreshing drink
• sparkling for a little lift
• hot for a soothing cup when the throat feels scratchy and the snuffles start

To make the cordial concentrate…

Bring 1 cup of water to the boil. Turn off heat. Stir in 1 cup honey and 1 cup lemon juice. Pour into a clean jar or bottle and store in the fridge. Should keep for approximately 1 week (if it lasts that long 😉).

🥔 Resistant starch: the gut-friendly carb

Not all carbs are created equal! Some starches can actually feed your gut bacteria and support healthy digestion, blood sugar balance, and satiety.

🔹 What is resistant starch?
Resistant starch (RS) is a type of starch that resists digestion in the small intestine. Instead, it travels to the colon where it acts like prebiotic fibre, feeding the good bacteria in your gut.

Benefits include:
• Supports gut health and microbiome diversity
• Produces short-chain fatty acids like butyrate (nourishes colon cells)
• Helps regulate blood sugar
• Keeps you fuller for longer

🔹 How to make starch “resistant”
Certain starches develop more RS when COOKED AND THEN COOLED. This process is called retrogradation.

Examples:
• Rice
• Potatoes
• Pasta
• Lentils & chickpeas
• Green bananas
• Corn

Tip: COOK → COOL → STORE IN THE FRIDGE. Reheating retains most of the resistant starch, so you don’t need to eat it cold.

🔹 Important note on resistant starches.
The total carbohydrate content doesn’t change, but a portion becomes resistant to digestion. This means slower glucose absorption and extra gut benefits.

🔹 Quick ideas to add resistant starch to your meals
* Potato or pasta salad (chilled or reheated)
* Cooked rice cooled for a few hours, then used in a stir-fry
* Lentil or chickpea salads
* Overnight oats (cooled)

✨ Resistant starch is an easy, practical way to support your gut, balance blood sugar, and feel fuller for longer — even with everyday foods like rice, potatoes, and pasta! Of course, always being mindful of your current health goals and overall carbohydrate requirements.

Over the may years i have been working with people in clinic, I’ve seen how deeply stress, emotion and life experiences live in the body — often beneath the surface of physical pain.

That understanding is what has led me to begin offering Reiki sessions alongside my existing therapies.

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on (or hands-off) energy therapy that supports the body’s natural ability to heal and rebalance. It works on the nervous system, helping the body shift out of fight-or-flight and into rest — the state where repair and regulation can occur.

People often come to Reiki for:
• deep relaxation and nervous system support
• emotional release or mental clarity
• support during times of stress, grief or major life changes
• feeling “off”, depleted or disconnected
• complementary support alongside massage or other therapies

There is nothing you need to do during a session — no forcing, no fixing. Just allowing your body the space to soften, settle and reset.

I’ve recently completed my Reiki Level 2 and am continuing to deepen my practice through regular self-Reiki, meditation, breathwork and study. Like anything meaningful, this is a work in progress — and one I feel deeply honoured to share.

For now, I would like to gently and intentionally introduce Reiki into the clinic to those who feel drawn to it.

If you’re curious, feel free to reach out or ask questions next time you’re in.

Healing begins when we slow down enough to listen 💜

Bone broth is one of the most underrated healing foods, and one that’s been used for centuries — long before supplements existed.🍲✨

When bones are slow-simmered, they release:
💪collagen & gelatin → support gut lining integrity, skin, joints and connective tissue.

💪amino acids (glycine, proline, glutamine) → important for gut repair, muscle recovery, sleep and nervous system support.

💪minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium & phosphorus → essential for bones, muscles and cellular function.

Bone Broth is easy to digest and incredibly grounding for the body — perfect to sip throughout the day, for an evening nightcap or use as a base for other meals.

Quality matters. It is important to source organic, grass-fed bones where possible. 

Whole-food nourishment at its finest….
