Your body feels heavy… your skin feels dull…
but you don’t want just a massage or just a facial.

This is exactly why I created the
Spring Awakening Ritual 🌿

A treatment designed to:
• release built-up tension through a slow, focused back massage
• gently open the chest & fascia (so you can breathe deeper again)
• refresh tired, winter skin with a glow-boosting facial

So you leave feeling:
✨ lighter in your body
✨ clearer in your mind
✨ fresher, brighter in your skin

Not overwhelmed. Not rushed.
Just reset.

What’s included:
– Grounding welcome with seasonal oils
– Slow back massage with fascia release
– Heart-opening chest & shoulder work
– Enzyme exfoliation + skin boosting mini peel
– Cooling mask + de-puffing facial massage
– Neck, shoulder & scalp relaxation

This is for you if:
• your shoulders feel constantly tight
• your energy feels flat after winter
• your skin is looking dull or tired
• you want a reset… but don’t know what to book

I’ve just completed my level 2 Reiki training with Megan at Celestial Space and I can honestly say, what a beautiful experience 🤍

From the moment I arrived I felt so welcomed and completely at ease. The space she holds is so calm, supportive and really special.

Megan has such a gentle way of teaching. Nothing feels overwhelming, everything just flows, and you feel held the whole way through. You can really feel how much she lives and breathes this work, which makes the experience even more powerful.

For me, this was more than just learning Reiki… it’s helped me slow down, reconnect and feel more grounded within myself.

I’m so grateful I was able to train with her ✨

If you’re thinking about Reiki training, I couldn’t recommend Megan enough 🤍

A warm and welcoming studio dedicated to holistic health and wellbeing for the whole family 💜🙏🎆🕉️

Is your calm calling you?

Or have you been pushing through the noise, the busyness, the constant doing… for just a little too long?

Your body has a quiet way of asking for what it needs.
Tight shoulders. A busy mind. Shallow breath. That feeling of always being “on”.

My ritual sessions are designed to gently bring you back to yourself.

Through slow, intentional massage, grounding touch and space to fully switch off, your nervous system can soften… allowing the body to release tension it has been holding for far too long.

These sessions are deeply restorative and tailored to where you are on the day.

Many clients tell me it’s the first time in a long time they’ve truly been able to let go.

If your calm is calling… this may be exactly what you need.

Appointments available this week.

🤍 Ground & Glow Ritual
🤍 Rebalance & Restore Ritual

When was the last time you truly switched off?

Not just relaxed for a moment…
but fully let your body soften and your mind go quiet.

✨ Welcome to Lakeside Beauty

Over the years my work has slowly evolved.

What began as massage. facials & general beauty treatments has grown into something much deeper. A space where you can slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.

Through my training in breathwork, fascia release and energy practices, I’ve learned something important:

The body only releases tension when it feels safe.

That’s why I have designed rituals rather than standard beauty treatments.

They are slow.
Intentional.
Deeply restorative.

Many clients tell me it’s the first time they’ve been able to truly switch off.

One recent client shared:

“This was one of the most amazing massages I’ve had. For the first time I was able to just switch off and let Gemma do her thing rather than feel guarded and tense. I still feel like that today.”

Creating this space for you is something I feel incredibly grateful for.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, carrying tension, or simply need time to pause… you’re always welcome here.

✨ Signature Rituals include

• Ground & Glow Ritual
• Rebalance & Restore Ritual

These treatments are designed to support your nervous system, body and mind, leaving you feeling lighter, calmer and more like yourself again.

📅 Availability this week

Wednesday – limited availability
Thursday – 3.15pm & 4.30pm including a longer ritual appointment.
Friday – morning availability including a longer ritual appointment

You can book online or message me directly if you’d like help choosing the right treatment.

✨ Client words like this mean everything to me…

“This was one of the most amazing massages I’ve had. For the first time I was able to just switch off and let Gemma do her thing rather than feel guarded and tense… I still feel like that today.”

This is exactly why I created my Ritual Sessions.

These are not just treatments.
They are slow, deeply restorative experiences designed to help your body soften, your mind quieten, and your nervous system finally exhale.

When the body feels safe, tension begins to melt away naturally.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, tired or constantly “on”…
this is your invitation to pause.

✨ Ritual sessions currently available:
• Ground & Glow Ritual

Over the last few years things have shifted in my life.

Through my personal practices of breathwork, meditation & Reiki, I’ve learned how to slow down.

To pause.
To listen.
To focus on what truly matters.

These practices are rooted in ancient wisdom that has been supporting people for centuries. But in our modern world, where everything moves quickly and we’re constantly switched on, their value feels even more important.

These practices have helped me become more grounded, calmer and more present, not only in my personal life, but in the way I show up in the treatment room.

When I’m calm and centred, I can hold a much deeper space for the women who come to see me.

Many of you have said you’ve noticed how my treatments have become slower, softer and more intentional over the years.

That change hasn’t happened by accident.
It’s come through my own personal journey and continued learning.

I’m currently away completing my Reiki training with Megan Edwards which feels like a natural next step in that journey.

Everything I learn always finds its way back into the space I create at Lakeside Beauty.

A place where you can pause, breathe and allow your body to soften.

Gemma 🤍

When your nervous system is constantly switched on, your body can’t fully heal.

You might notice:
• Tight neck & shoulders
• Jaw tension
• Headaches
• Shallow breathing
• Poor sleep
• Digestive issues
• Skin flare ups

But underneath it all?

Stress.

In my treatment room, I don’t rush.
I don’t force change.
I don’t work aggressively.

I create safety first.

Because when your body feels safe:
• Muscles soften
• Breath deepens
• Mind quietens
• Skin glows
• Healing happens

This is why my longer sessions have been so powerful.

They give your system permission to switch off.

And that changes everything.

The Winter to Spring Ritual has now closed 🤍

What that session showed me was beautiful.

Women aren’t booking because they just want a massage.
They aren’t coming because they just need a facial.

They are exhausted.
Overstimulated.
Carrying too much.

They are craving regulation.
Time.
Space.
A nervous system reset.

So I’ve refined my menu.

Introducing two Signature Rituals. These are available all year & designed to restore you fully.

Not rushed.
Not surface level.
Not just a “treatment.”

But structured, intentional experiences that allow your whole system to soften.

Seasonal rituals will return in Spring 🌸
But these… are here to stay.

Booking now open.

The final few days to book the incredibly popular Winter to Spring Ritual are here ✨

I have absolutely loved holding this seasonal session for you. It’s been such a beautiful transition from the heaviness of winter into softer, lighter days.

Here’s what one client shared:

“Wow this was the best package I have had with Gemma. So relaxing. Anyone who hasn’t had a massage from Gemma doesn’t know what they are missing!”

If you’ve been meaning to book, this is your gentle reminder.
These final appointments are your opportunity to experience a slow, deeply nourishing massage designed to restore your nervous system, soften tension and create real stillness.

When it’s gone, it’s gone until next season.
