Have you ever tried Indian Head Massage?

This massage targets sore, tired and tense muscles in the upper back, shoulders, neck and head.

My clients find the sessions transformative, lifting you from a place of stress and tension, to feeling lighter, calmer, more grounded.

Benefits include:
- release of muscular tension
- release of emotional tension
- support for tension headaches
- relief from jaw tension (TMJ pain)
- easing of sinus pain

Come and give it a go, Bristol Osteopaths and at my home practice in Knowle.

What an honour to be part of this wonderful team! Look at all those lovely faces, behind which are all sorts of amazing skills and talents.

Another fab Christmas Do, thanks Bristol Osteopaths! 😊🌲🎄

Our Christmas Party. A week ago since were getting ready for our annual team party which never fails to be an absolute hoot!

Being spread across three clinics and working different days it's actually quite rare for some of the team to see each other. And we have quite a few new faces this year too joining our ever growing team. It's been a special year as we celebrated our 30th birthday in the summer too.

Such a talented group of individuals. All expert therapists and work so brilliantly as a multidisciplinary team. It is great for us as practitioners, and great for our patients too as they are so easily signposted to the right therapy for them if they aren't already there.

Thanks to the wonderful for hosting us again this year. Amazing food and drink and venue. Thanks for letting us dance on the stools too!! 🤣🎄🙏

Happy Autumn Equinox folks!

It might be sad to say goodbye to the warmer weather, but the Autumn is such a great time of year to reflect on your own personal 'harvests' this year (what treasures have you grown and nurtured this year?), and slowing things down as we head towards winter.

Enjoy the cosy evenings to come, keep warm, and get out for those blustery, refreshing walks.

And treat yourself to a holistic session - reducing stress supports your immune system and avoids catching all these lurgies around!

Lovely new review on Google from one of my clients. I'm really grateful to be able to support people in this way.

Not meaning to brag 😉, but I really love working at the Bristol Osteopaths.

Currently celebrating their 30th anniversary, the amazing team here are highly experienced, highly skilled and just as important, just a lovely bunch of people.

Being part of the team means I'm able to benefit from all the knowledge that this team share between them. We are able to refer clients and patients to each other when we feel that there's someone that could really benefit from further specialist support with a specific issue.

If you've not visited, there are also a whole bunch of classes and workshops to enjoy and explore here, including pilates with the brilliant Leanne, and yoga with the wonderful Katy.

Come on down and see for yourself what we can offer at Wells Road Osteopaths.

Woo hoo! I'm so excited to tell you all that I'm now a fully qualified Facial Gua Sha Master.

Some of you may have heard of Gua Sha. It's a technique used for the whole body in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but can also be applied to the face.

Healing stones and specific techniques are used to boost blood circulation, relax muscle tension, encourage lymphatic drainage and reduce puffiness to bring vitality to the skin and leave you looking and feeling more radiant.

But beyond the pro-ageing features, I’m really blown away by how much facial massage techniques benefit overall wellbeing. The techniques used in Facial Rejuvenation Massage and Facial Gua Sha are gentle and non-invasive, and often leave you feeling so profoundly and deeply relaxed that the benefits extend well beyond the face (and session) itself.

Energy balancing and nurturing touch are integral to these sessions, soothing and calming the nervous system, and in turn supporting the reduction of stress and anxiety, and improving mood. These are truly holistic sessions.

I'm really excited to be launching this.

Come and give it a try!

Self care, aka looking after yourself, is essential.

Not least because we can't support others without it, but also because we're worth it! (Thanks L'Oreal 😁)

Here are some great reminders from Action for Happiness on things we can do to support ourselves this September.

Self-care isn't selfish, it's essential 💕 Join us for Self-Care September and find ways to be kind to yourself as well as others

Hey! Another post from me so soon 😃

I'm listed on the NHS website for reflexology in Bristol.

It's a great resource for finding reflexologists who are properly trained and a member of either the Association of Reflexologists (as am I) or the British Reflexology Association.

These associations ensure that members are well trained, insured and continuously updating their knowledge and expertise.

Check out the listing here if you need to find someone in your local area:
