Sometimes we carry things that don’t show up as physical pain. Counselling and SIT (Subconscious Imprint Technique) can help when you’re experiencing:

• Ongoing stress or overwhelm
• Anxiety or emotional tension
• Repeating patterns or habits you want to change
• Difficulty letting go of past experiences
• Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of direction
• Emotional responses that feel bigger than the situation
• A desire for personal growth and clarity

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek support. Counselling and SIT offer a gentle, supportive space to reconnect with yourself and move forward with intention.

💧 January Can Feel Heavy — Your Body Might Too

After the busy holiday season, January can bring feelings of heaviness, sluggishness, or puffiness as the body adjusts to colder temperatures and slower routines.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle technique that supports lymph flow, reduces fluid retention, and encourages detoxification - helping the body feel lighter and more balanced during winter months.

Sometimes gentle support is exactly what the body needs.

❄️ January and the Body: Holding Tension

Cold weather, less movement, and post-holiday stress often show up as tight muscles, aches, and lingering discomfort in January.

Deep Muscle Therapy (DMT) works into deeper layers of muscle to release long-held tension, support circulation, and help the body feel more at ease — especially during colder months when stiffness can build quickly.

Listening to your body early can help prevent discomfort from becoming chronic.

✨ A Gentle Start to the New Year ✨

The beginning of a new year doesn’t have to be about big resolutions. Sometimes it’s about slowing down, listening to your body, and choosing care over pressure.

Whether you’re feeling physically tense or emotionally drained, therapeutic bodywork can help you reset in a way that feels supportive and sustainable.

🌿 January 1

As we welcome a new year, we do so gently.

There is no rush to change, fix, or resolve everything at once. A new beginning can simply mean bringing a little more awareness, care, and compassion into each day.

Thank you for being part of the Touchstone community. We look forward to continuing this journey with you in the year ahead.

Reflecting on the Year

As the year winds down, reflection can be a powerful tool.
