Hi, I am Vanessa
If you find yourself running about like a blue arse fly trying to juggle everyone else’s needs while forgetting your own and feeling stressed, narky, exhausted, forgotten, and suffering with aches and pains, and/or ill as a result. I support women who care too much for others (leaving themselves overstretched, exhausted, and losing sight of themselves) to regain their strength so that they can manage their lives with more calm, ease, energy, and confidence. I am a great believer in bringing new life to things (recycling, reusing, upcycling is important to me) and I passionately believe that when things go awry in our life, we can reset our mind and body. It is never too late to start taking care of our self again, establish new habits or even reinvent ourselves. If that were the case, I would not now be a holistic and massage therapist but that is a story for later. I specialise in Reiki infused light touch massage with healing holds that will help bring calm and relaxation to your mind and body so you can release the stress, tension, and aches and pains that inhibit your daily life while soothing your active mind. This is a massage suitable for everyone but especially so for women who care too much and need some help to regain their strength to manage their life. Massage does not need to be deep or painful or leave you bruised to be effective as this massage can show. As a woman who has found herself caring for others while forgetting her own needs, experiencing burn-out and numerous health scares along the way, and with an over-riding feeling of having to ‘pull on her big girl pants and cracking on’ - I am here for you. Looking after yourself is not selfish, an indulgent treat or something to be ashamed of, it is your lifeline to managing your life in the way you want to live it, and in many ways to meet the expectations of others too. So, my advice, is 'Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible' (St. Francis of Assisi)
By working together, we can support your need for rest and relaxation to help improve your well-being; choose a Reiki infused light touch massage or simply request a deeper pressure to meet your needs or choose from my other available treatments for one that you can genuinely enjoy. I am a therapist who enjoys offering a professional yet friendly service, I enjoy building relationships with my clients, and I am here for you whatever your journey. My treatments are about helping you regain your strength so you can manage your life with more calm, ease, energy, and confidence. Their purpose is to leave you feeling relaxed yet energised, nurtured, and cared for, and ultimately to provide you with the best experience for your mind, body and soul. Your treatment is 'your' treatment and will focus on your needs rather than being a standard routine. No two bodies are the same so no two treatments are the same. Furthermore, as your needs change so will your treatments, flexibility is key to you being able to truly rest, relax and recover. Your appointment is just for you; I don't like being rushed so I don't expect you to be rushed, life can be hard, it can be harsh. When seeking support we need care, attention, understanding and thought so I provide an oasis of calm where you can feel safe, not just physically but emotionally too. Based in Boughton Monchelsea, Kent, Garden Tranquillity offers treatments in a log cabin within a quiet garden setting using only certified organic, natural, and ethical products from Pinks Boutique, Neal’s Yard Remedies Organic and specifically designed products from the Jennifer Young ranges for those living with or beyond cancer, and for menopause.
