Massage isn’t just for pain 🤍

While massage can be incredibly effective for easing muscular tension and discomfort, its benefits go far beyond pain relief.

Regular massage can:
• Support the nervous system
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve sleep quality
• Enhance circulation and lymphatic flow
• Encourage relaxation and emotional wellbeing

Sometimes the body doesn’t need “fixing” it needs space to rest, reset, and be cared for.

Massage is not only reactive care, it’s preventative, supportive, and deeply nurturing.

Raising a neurodivergent child has taught me more about patience, compassion, and seeing the world differently than anything else ever could.

It’s not about “fixing” or changing who they are it’s about understanding, advocating, and creating a world where they feel safe to be exactly themselves.

Some days are loud. Some days are overwhelming. Some days are beautifully calm and full of joy. All of them are valid.

Neurodiversity isn’t a flaw it’s a different way of thinking, feeling, and experiencing life. And our children deserve to be supported, celebrated, and accepted for who they are. 💛

Wintering- Honouring the Season of Rest ❄️

Winter naturally invites us to slow down. Energy dips, motivation can feel lower, and our bodies often ask for more rest, warmth, and care. This isn’t something to push against it’s something to honour.

✨ Wintering is the practice of allowing yourself to move gently through the colder months, prioritising restoration rather than productivity.

Complementary therapies can beautifully support this seasonal shift:

🌿 Massage therapy helps ease muscular tension, improve circulation, and soothe a nervous system that may feel overstimulated or fatigued.
🌿 Aromatherapy offers emotional grounding and comfort, supporting low mood, stress, and seasonal changes through carefully selected essential oils.
🌿 Reflexology encourages balance within the body, promoting deep relaxation and supporting overall wellbeing.
🌿 Holistic facials provide nurturing care, hydration, and a calming pause especially beneficial when skin and spirits feel dull or depleted.

Winter is not a time for forcing it’s a time for listening, restoring, and replenishing. Giving your body gentle, consistent support now can help you emerge into spring feeling more balanced and resilient.

If you’re feeling called to slow down, your body may already be asking for care 🤍

✨ Happy New Year! ✨

As we step into a new year, I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported my small business whether you’ve booked a treatment, recommended me to a friend, liked a post, or simply followed along.

Your support truly means the world and allows me to continue doing what I love, providing thoughtful, complementary therapies in a calm and welcoming space. I’m so grateful for each and every one of you, and I’m really looking forward to what this year brings.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and peaceful New Year 🤍

🌿 Why Beef Tallow Works So Well for Skin 🌿

Beef tallow has a fatty acid profile remarkably similar to our skin’s natural sebum, which means it absorbs easily and helps support the skin barrier rather than disrupting it.

Rich in naturally occurring vitamins A, D, E and K, tallow deeply nourishes dry or compromised skin and helps reduce moisture loss without the need for synthetic additives.

When sourced from grass-fed cattle and gently rendered, it creates a simple, effective balm that many people find calming for sensitive or reactive skin.

I also incorporate carefully selected essential oils, chosen not just for their aroma but for their skin-supportive properties — enhancing nourishment, soothing inflammation, and supporting overall skin health.

Sometimes, skincare works best when it’s uncomplicated.

⸻

✨ Best for:
• Dry or mature skin
• Compromised skin barriers
• Sensitive or reactive skin
• Minimalist, ingredient-conscious routines

These have sold so fast this Christmas. Dm to order. 🫶

🤍 Feeling Humble When Caring for Family 🤍

There’s something deeply grounding about being able to support family when they’re feeling unwell.
Using the skills I’ve learned through complementary therapies to bring even a little comfort, calm, or relief feels like such a privilege.

🌿 It’s a reminder that:
• Treating people isn’t only about techniques it’s about connection
• Touch, presence, and kindness can make a meaningful difference
• The work I do extends far beyond the treatment room

I’m always humbled by these moments. They reinforce why I chose this path and how powerful gentle, intentional care can be.

03/12/2025

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. 🌿
