Zoey Bailey- Complementary Healthcare Practitioner

Still feeling really under the weather with this virus, so I’m taking things slow and focusing on rest and recovery. 💛 it’s been a week now so I’m hoping to be coming out the other side.

Thank you to everyone who has sent kind messages and well wishes they really do make a difference. I’ll be back in the treatment room as soon as I’m well enough, but for now it’s blankets, fluids, and letting my body do what it needs to do.

If you have an upcoming appointment, please check your messages I’m keeping everyone updated individually.
Take care of yourselves, and if you’re also fighting off this bug, I hope it passes quickly for you too. 🌿✨

✨ Burnout: The Quiet Exhaustion We Don’t Talk About Enough ✨

Burnout doesn’t always arrive with a crash.
Often, it creeps in quietly through disrupted sleep, emotional fog, muscle tension, headaches, or that sense of being on autopilot.

As a therapist, I see how prolonged stress impacts the body just as much as the mind. When we push past our limits, the nervous system stays in a heightened state, leaving us depleted and disconnected from ourselves.

Common signs of burnout:
🌿 Persistent fatigue
🌿 Increased aches & tension
🌿 Feeling overwhelmed or irritable
🌿 Reduced motivation or creativity
🌿 Difficulty relaxing, even when you have time
🌿 Emotional numbness or detachment

Supportive ways to restore balance:
✨ Prioritise rest without guilt
✨ Gentle movement to reconnect with your body
✨ Aromatherapy to calm the nervous system
✨ Regular therapeutic touch (massage, reflexology, holistic facials)
✨ Creating small, sustainable boundaries

Burnout isn’t a personal failure it’s a signal from your body asking for compassion and recalibration.

If you’re feeling stretched thin, you’re not alone. My treatments are designed to support deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, and a return to equilibrium.

🌿 Your wellbeing matters more than your to-do list.

✨ What is Myofascial Release? ✨

Myofascial release is a gentle, hands-on therapy that focuses on releasing tension held within the fascia the connective tissue that surrounds and supports your muscles and organs.

Over time, stress, injury, surgery, or poor posture can cause the fascia to become tight and restricted. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Using slow, sustained pressure, myofascial release encourages the tissue to soften, lengthen and rehydrate naturally helping to relieve discomfort and restore ease of movement.

It’s especially beneficial for those experiencing chronic pain, muscular tension, postural imbalances or restricted mobility. These are techniques that I may use in any treatment that’s tailored.

Your body holds your story, my job is to help it let go. 🌿

🌿 What I Do as a Therapist

When you book a treatment with me, you’re receiving far more than an hour in the treatment room.

You’re receiving:
✨ Years of specialised training
✨ Ongoing CPD and evidence-based knowledge
✨ Tailored treatments that support your unique health, emotions, and goals
✨ Thoughtful preparation into your oils, your room, your treatment plan and an extensive consultation to allow me to tailor each treatment
✨ A safe, calm, therapeutic space created just for you
✨ Hands that work with intention, not routine
✨ A session shaped around your body, your history, and your wellbeing

Every technique I choose, every oil I blend, and every moment of your treatment is designed to help you feel seen, supported, and restored.

This is more than a massage, reflexology session, or facial.
It’s a therapeutic experience created with skill, care, and heart.

🤍 Thank you for valuing the work that goes into what I do.

❄️ Cold Weather & Your Body ❄️

As the temperature drops, many of us start to feel the effects in our bodies more than we realise. Cold weather triggers our muscles to contract to conserve heat which can lead to stiffness, aches, and reduced mobility.

Here’s how the cold can affect us:
💠 Muscle tension: Tight, contracted muscles can feel sore and less flexible.
💠 Slower circulation: Reduced blood flow can make hands and feet feel colder and increase feelings of heaviness.
💠 Joint discomfort: Cold conditions may heighten sensitivity around joints, especially if you’re already managing pain or inflammation.
💠 Dry skin: Lower humidity and indoor heating can quickly dehydrate the skin, leading to tightness and irritation.
💠 Increased stress: Darker, colder days can influence mood and energy levels, making self-care even more important.

Holistic therapies such as massage, reflexology, aromatherapy and warm oil treatments can support your body through winter by easing tension, boosting circulation, and providing a comforting reset when you need it most.

✨ If the cold is affecting your body, you’re not alone and you don’t have to just “push through it.” A warm, nurturing treatment may be exactly what your body needs.
