As a bit of a follow on from last months self care challenge, I thought this worth a share. I’m trying to take a few to heart at the moment with my poor finger! I won’t share an update photo of it as it looks pretty grim 😆

I’m grateful for the fact I can still bake - and eat - cookies even it takes a bit longer. I’m recognising my limits and not trying to rush myself back to work as much as I would love to! It won’t last forever and I’ll be back towards the end of next week.

After having a bit too much fun with an old friend on Friday, I managed to dislocate two joints in my finger (absolutely sober, not a drop of wine involved!).

While I am absolutely thanking the stars for training zero strain massage, I’m sure you can appreciate the need to rest for a few days.

If you’re booked in with me this week, please check your messages to reschedule. I’m only expecting to be out a few more days so will be back in action quickly thanks to zero strain techniques!

Earlier this year I completed two aromatherapy courses which now allows me to provide aromatherapy as part of my massage service.

When the right essential oils are added, it’s not just your muscles that feel the benefit — your mind and emotions do too. The scents can ease stress, lift your mood, and even help you drift into deeper relaxation.

I love seeing how different oils bring different results — from calming lavender to uplifting citrus or grounding cedarwood. It’s such a gentle but powerful way to support overall wellbeing. It’s also great fun creating personalised blends specifically for each client who comes to see me!

If you’ve never tried an aromatherapy massage before, it’s a lovely treat for both body and mind. Which scent do you think you’d choose first? Send me a message to book!

💆‍♀️ Self-Care September 💆‍♀️

This one is a bit of a tricky one to massage on yourself. Our shoulders carry so much tension—especially from stress, hunching over screens, or just daily life. Here’s how to give your shoulders some love, or send me a message and get me to do it for you!

✨ Place your right hand over your left shoulder and gently squeeze the muscles, rolling your fingers in small circles.
✨ Work from the base of your neck outward toward your arm.
✨ Switch sides and repeat with your left hand on your right shoulder.
✨ Finish with some slow shoulder rolls forward and back to release what’s left.

It only takes a few minutes, but your body will thank you 🌿💛

Following on from my post last night about leaving Radiography behind, I am THRILLED to have been accepted to start a counselling course next month!

I don’t intend to progress it all the way through to career level, but I know from experience both on and off the couch, a lot can be said when having a massage. It’s a very personal experience and sometimes we share more than we normally would. By doing this course I’ll be learning skills to be able to support clients, and most importantly, be able to signpost clients to other services if necessary.

I’ve received this magazine every quarter for the last 20 years, research and articles about radiography.

This is the last time I will open this.

I’ve decided to cancel my HCPC registration and leave the world of Radiography behind me. It’s been a fabulous career and I’ve been incredibly lucky to have been able to explore lots of opportunities within the field, but now it’s time to focus solely on the my new career and life as a massage therapist.

Opening this today after cancelling my membership last week feels quite emotional! Onwards with my new journey now ❤️ 💆‍♀️

Giant marrow update!

A friend has just come back from India with some amazing spices for me so I’ve gone for a curried marrow and butter bean soup and I can honestly say it is DELICIOUS!!

I know today is supposed to be face masks, but I much prefer face oils with a cheeky little facial massage before bed! Anyone else joining me on this one?

🌸 Self-Care September 🌸
Your skincare routine can double up as a moment of calm. Massaging facial oil into your skin not only nourishes but also helps release tension and boost circulation. Here’s a little step-by-step you can try at home:

💧 Warm a few drops of oil between your palms.
😌 Start at the center of your forehead, gently sweeping outward with your fingertips.
👀 Use light circles around your eyes to ease tiredness.
😊 Glide your thumbs along your jawline, working from chin to ears, to melt away jaw tension.
🌿 Finish with upward strokes on your neck to lift and refresh.

Take slow breaths as you go—it’s as much about relaxing your mind as it is about glowing skin ✨

✨ Self-Care September ✨

Did you know your shampoo routine can double as a self-care ritual? 🫧💆‍♀️ A gentle scalp massage while washing your hair can help boost circulation, ease tension, and even support healthier hair. Here’s how:

1️⃣ Apply shampoo and spread it evenly.
2️⃣ Using the pads of your fingers (not nails!), make small circular motions.
3️⃣ Start at the front hairline and slowly work back to the crown.
4️⃣ Don’t rush — spend a minute or two enjoying the pressure.
5️⃣ Rinse as usual, feeling refreshed from head to toe. 🌿

Oooo I do love a gift off a client! I can honestly say I’ve never been given a 2.5kg marrow before! We even ended up swapping a giant marrow for a raffle prize for Dorin Park school so you know where to head if you want a chance a free massage…

Recipes for marrow gratefully received before I make the biggest marrow soup known to mankind.
