Everything you desire, is already yours 💖 This is the abundant energy of the summer solstice.

Soak up the early morning/late evening sun, connect with your heart space and try these journal prompts:

☀️ Who/what makes my heart full?

☀️ Currently, I’m so very grateful for ….. in my life

☀️ What does my heart want to call in during the next six months?

Solstice blessings 💖

P.S. Thanks to Hen for the beautiful setting for our annual summer solstice class 🙏🏽

Welcome to a brand new feature where each month we celebrate those who have embraced holistic wellness 💖

Our first success story is Foronda.

Foronda came to me 6 months ago after a herniated disc left her with low back pain.

She was frustrated as she’d always been physically active & it was stopping her from gardening and affecting her quality of life.

We devised a treatment plan comprising of:

✔️ Deep tissue massage

✔️ Postural retraining

✔️ Improving core strength

✔️ Lifestyle advice

Fast forward 6 months and Foronda is living her best life! 🙌🏽

She says “the injury forced me to look after myself. My mum says I’ve always been a ‘workhorse’ and this has taught me that I need to make time for me.”

And athough she came for help with back pain, she also noticed improvements in other areas too! 🎉

Foronda has been motivated to join a weekly fitness class and hasn’t missed a session since she started.

Well done Foronda, you’re going into your next decade like a boss! 👏🏽

A huge congratulations to everyone who crossed the finish line at the London Marathon! 🏃🏽‍♀️

Whether you smashed a PB or simply made it through, your body deserves serious care now.

Here are a few key recovery tips to help you feel your best over the next few days:

✔️ Rehydrate and refuel: Drink plenty of water and focus on protein and carbohydrates to repair muscles and replenish energy stores.

✔️ Keep moving: Light walking and gentle stretching help circulation and reduce stiffness.

✔️ Prioritise sleep: Deep recovery happens while you rest. Aim for good, uninterrupted sleep.

✔️ Book a massage: Sports or recovery massage can ease soreness, improve blood flow, and help you heal faster.

✔️ Listen to your body: Some soreness is normal, but sharp pain needs extra attention- don't push through injuries.

✔️ Be kind to yourself - recovery is just as much a part of your marathon as race day itself.

It’s back to yoga after two weeks off and this term the focus is CORE 🔥

Core strength in yoga isn’t just about looking good for summer - it’s about building your foundation 💪🏽

Your core supports everything - from your posture and balance to how you breathe and move through the world.

A strong core:

✔️ Supports your spine

✔️ Reduces pain

✔️ Helps you feel more stable, centred, and confident on (and off) the mat.

So yes, core work might tone your abs—but more importantly, it connects you to your power.

Did you know that back pain isn’t always caused by your back muscles? Tight hip flexors, glutes, or even abdominal muscles can pull on your spine and create discomfort where you least expect it! 😱

That’s why it’s so important to choose a massage therapist with a deep understanding of anatomy—someone who looks beyond just where the pain is and finds the real cause 🙋🏽‍♀️

One of my clients recently described me as a “human mechanic” and I guess he’s right!

My Physiotherapy degree combined with over 20 years as a massage therapist allows me to know what to work on, so you can move pain-free again.

If you’ve been struggling with back pain that won’t go away, it might be time to book yourself in for a therapeutic massage! DM to book 😊

When you wake up with a twingey shoulder but it’s okay bc you’re a massage therapist & can treat it in your lunch break with essential oils & cupping 🙌🏽

Happy Wednesday! Here’s a little reminder that the greatest shifts in your health & wellness come from consistently choosing to prioritise your wellbeing EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

👉🏽 It doesn’t have to be an intense gym session or a full hour of yoga. Just 5-10 mins each day makes a massive difference over time.

👉🏽 You don’t need to go on any crazy, restrictive diets. Become mindful of what you consume & how it’s nourishing your body (or your soul! 🍫 )

Focus on what future you would thank you for to become the strongest & most radiant version of yourself ✨✨✨

Super pleased to announce I’m opening up Wednesdays again for treatments! 🙌🏽

Here’s what I’ve got left available from now until the end of March.

There’s no need to put up with that niggly neck pain or achy back. Do yourself a favour & book yourself in 💆🏻‍♀️

(Later times may be available - just ask and I’ll see what I can do!).

Here’s something you may not know about me …

I was a Guinness World Record holder for 3 years!

Back in 2007 I took part in a winning world record attempt for largest simultaneous group massage.

There were 154 of us giving a 15 min chair massage in front of Tower Bridge.

See if you can find me in the photo!
