“Self-care is so much more than a beauty regimen or an external thing you do. It has to start within your heart to know what you need to navigate your life. A pedicure doesn’t last, but meditating every day does.” ~ Carrie-Anne Moss

Did you know that you don’t need to be into sport in order to benefit from a sports massage?

For many of us, prolonged sitting combined with the repetitive nature of many everyday tasks can lead to repetitive strains, overuse injuries and postural problems. All of which can result in pain, reduced range of movement and poor function.

A Sports massage uses a combination of massage and stretching techniques to release areas of tension within the muscle, lengthen shortened muscles, improve flexibility and mobilise joints; reducing symptomatic pain and improving function.

Benefits include:

☀ Relief from aches and pains, knots and sore muscles
☀ Improved flexibility through stretching and relaxing tight, over-exerted muscles
☀ Improved posture
☀ Treatment and rehabilitation of muscle, tendon and ligament injuries
☀ Speed up recovery time
☀ Prevention of injuries through regular monitoring

Do you feel like you've literally got the weight of the world on your shoulders? Is your life constantly ruled by anxiety and the feeling of overwhelm? Perhaps you find it difficult to go to sleep?

Massage is proven to be incredibly effective at reducing stress and anxiety levels and one study found that massage therapy can help to reduce and regulate the production of Cortisol, a stress hormone that our body produces as part of our unconscious 'fight or flight' mechanism.

I offer a range of massage therapies, including Holistic Massage that will leave you feeling nurtured, relaxed and calm.

Get in touch to find out more about how Holistic Massage can help lower your stress levels and bring you some much needed calm and relaxation to both your body and mind.

There are a variety of reasons why hip pain can come about and many of those can be easily treated with postural changes, simple stretches and strengthening and of course Massage Therapy.

Massage for hip pain not only helps relax the muscles around the hip joint, but also improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers!

So, how does it work?

By releasing areas of tension through kneading, mobilising and stretching techniques, space is created in any misaligned areas, giving the body a natural opportunity to shift into better alignment. Massage also provides natural pain relief as direct massaging increases circulation that replenishes stagnant areas, improving tissue health and releasing natural opioid(painkiller) like hormones. Your body is then able to become more relaxed and moves into rehabilitation mode.

Deeper tissue work and more direct pressure to and around your hips, lower back and legs throughout a treatment session can be common for hip pain all of which can lead to better mobility, alignment and circulation.

Within the Chakra system, the hips are located at the second Chakra (Svadhistana or Sacral) which is the foundation of a healthy ego, sensual and emotional balance that allows us to interact with the world without selling ourselves short or having to pretend to be someone we are not.

When this Chakra is in balance, it helps strengthen resilience and allows us to form harmonious relationships in all areas of our life. But when it is blocked, or out of alignment, it can cause our lives to fall into a state of chaos which can led us to form abusive, controlling or co-dependant relationships, and can even cause fear of abandonment, along with loss of financial and/or creative power.

You can use the following Affirmations to help rebalance and unblock your Sacra Chakra and also incorporate the colour orange into your daily life by wearing orange clothes, jewellery or make up, wearing or using orange crystals or even incorporating orange foods into your diet:

🧡 I embrace my creativity, my visions and my dreams and accept that they can become my reality.
🧡 I am open to romance. I radiate joy and I appreciate the beauty in life. I can see the beauty in all I meet..
🧡 I love my body and any imperfections are what make me unique.
🧡 As I make the changes within, my reality starts to reflect that back to me in positive, inspiring ways.
🧡 I no longer hide my emotions, I am free to say, act and live in accordance to my true self.
🧡 Creativity is my joy and I now find ways to bring more creativity in to my life

As a fully trained Massage and Crystal Healing Therapist, as well as being a Reiki Master, I have a toolbox of natural holistic treatments that can help you balance all your Chakras. Get in touch to find out more.

I was chatting with a friend last week, who also happens to be a Pilates teacher. We had a great time and got round to asking each other about any we love Pilates. It was quite spooky to find that we both agreed that our classes aren't 'just' about Pilates, but also about about physical and mental well-being.

I truly believe that when we understand why our bodies behave in a certain way, this allows us to focus on the best ways to overcome issues and increase our strength, balance and health.

In particular, one area that I find helps the most is working on the hips as it greatly improves both flexibility and mobility, and by practicing hip-opening poses regularly, you can vastly improve the range of motion in your hips that makes everyday movements like walking, climbing stairs and getting up from a seated position, so much easier.

An added bonus of increasing flexibility in the hips is that this also leads to better posture and alignment in the spine. What's not to love?

What areas do you want to work on in your Pilates practice? I love the Side Plank Hip Opener!
