Roberta Rose Massage

And that's a wrap!
Ozzie and I now on our holibobs until 3rd August.

Thank you to everyone who came for a massage with me so far this year and for trusting me with your precious body.

It was an eventful last week of work and I ended up needing to cancel my last day of appointments as I bumped my head and gave myself a mild concussion! I'm fine now but it felt like the Universe literally telling me to take time off NOW!

I'd left it too long since my last break and I needed a little reminder to take more regular time off - something which is essential for me (and maybe you too?) doing such a physical job.

I will be spending the next 2 weeks taking things very slowly; recharging my batteries, connecting deeply with nature, and enjoying the company of dear friends and family. Oh, and I'll need to endure this terrible view most days too - what a hardship !

If you would like an appointment with me in August, get in touch or book online soon as my diary is already filling up for next month.

I wish you a wonderful couple of weeks as I plan to come off social media now for a little while.

Love Roberta 💛

✨️ Healing hands ✨️

I get this wonderful feedback often - that I have 'magic hands' or 'healing hands'.

I have been honing my craft now for 11 years and have my own unique style.
The truth is, though, what I am doing is creating an environment for you to feel relaxed and safe enough to heal yourself.

✨️ I am not going to heal YOU.
✨️ I am going to heal ME.
✨️ I am going to hold space for YOU.
✨️ YOU are going to heal YOU.

You are going to heal you using your innate healing wisdom, held deep down within the physical body. 
When we quiet the mind enough to tune into this wisdom, shifts start to take place.

That is the job of a healer; to hold space for the magic to happen.

I LOVE my job 💜

Lovely feedback from a young person I have been offering my theraputic massage to for the past 18 months. 

Their Mum first approached me to see whether I would work with her child with Autism. Many people with Autism are sensory folk and some really respond well and enjoy very much the healing benefits of massage.

I've massaged this young person 4 or 5 times now and It's been an honour to witness their journey. Teaching the body to power down and reset; understanding over time what works and what doesn't, connecting physically and leaving the busy mind alone for an hour.

I've worked with a few children over the years for a variety of reasons; some physical, some mental. A parent or guardian is required to stay in the room at all times whilst I'm working with anyone under 18.

If you think your child may benefit from receiving massage then I'd be happy to have a chat with you about this. I am an advocate for teaching the body how to relax from a young age so that these skills can be carried into adulthood.

What a beautiful mural in our city of Glasgow. A city where I have been welcomed with open arms by the warm folk in the West of Scotland.

This is now my home.

I love this piece of art.
For many, touch has become medical or even feared (for a variety of reasons).
I remember after Covid one client came back for a massage after 2 years and told me they had not been touched by anyone in 2 years!

My experience of touch is that it helps to reconnect us to forgotten parts of ourselves; parts that hold deep inner wisdom and knowing. Parts that once awakened can provide insight to our growth, outwith the scope of the computer (the thinking mind).

I feel blessed that I get to share my gift of touch as part of my contribution to the World.

What are your gifts?
Let's celebrate being human 💚

Hi everyone,

I've been a bit quiet on here of late.
My energy levels have been unpredictable as I've been grieving the loss of my cat, Luna, who was killed on the road a couple of weeks ago.

As always, my commitment to my work and the love of the job I do (if you can call it that, more of a calling really), has provided me with a steady rhythm in which to flow with. I am grateful for the time I had with my wee fur baby and all the joy and love she brought into my life.

It was also my birthday last week, and these flowers were one of 2 beautiful bouquets I received in the post from loved ones. Now brightening up the therapy room and bringing joy to all who pop into see me.

July is almost full, so if you want to see me this month, get in touch soon.

With love and healing,
Roberta ✨️

Probably the favourite oil to date with so much great feedback from clients, it's won its place as a staple in the Roberta Rose Massage oils catalogue! 😂

Naturally relaxing for the body and at the same time clearing for the mind.

Muscles massage oil is a rich and fragrant oil blend with muscle warming Black Pepper, stimulating Rosemary and muscle tension easing Sage. De-stressing Clary Sage and Soothing Lavender round off the scent beautifully.

Let me know at your session if you would like to try this wonderful oil 💜

Are you ready to make a wellbeing commitment to yourself each month? One which actually feels really good!

A commitment to giving yourself time.

Time to reset,

Time to relax,

Time to fill your cup, so you can keep giving to others.

Heres what people are saying about the subscription membership;

"I love my monthly massages with Roberta. I've been a subscriber to her massage service for a year now, and it's been a great decision. It makes it easier to prioritise my well-being and ensures I have a regular massage without having to think about booking and paying each time. It's also great value".
- Susan.

"Best thing I ever did was sign up to the monthly subscription plan. I get a massage every month, which I need to maintain my mobility etc, and Roberta always knows where I need extra work etc. Can't recommend her enough".
- Yvonne.

"Becoming a subscription member was one of the best things I've done... knowing I have that therapy and relaxation to look forward to each month".
- Michael.

A massage a month plus loads of other loyalty bonuses throughout the year.

Pm for more details.
Thanks 🙏

Neals Yard Remedies throw back!

Met up with my friend Rosa today, who I've not seen since we worked together at Neals Yard Remedies in Edinburgh 4 years ago. It was so lovely to reminisce about those days; our therapist community was really quite special, and our clients were wonderful.

I'm part of a few different communities now; connection with like-minded souls is an essential part of keeping my mental health well. So when I go to give myself a hard time for not 'getting more done', I ask myself, "Am I happy? Am I well? Am I healthy? Am I am ease within myself?"

As my first yoga guru, Swami Sivananda once said, "Health is wealth and yoga shows the way." Not just yoga asanas but 'yoga' as a way of life. Coming back to our absolute truth by 'connecting' inwards.

I also built my first compost bin and spent time in my garden connecting with the Earth, which always helps me tap into a deeper guidance within.

Hope you too have been enjoying connection this weekend - what does that look like for you? I'd love to hear about how you feel connected.

Big love you'all 💛

It could be dizziness, it might be that turning from face down to face up on the couch is too difficult due to injury or mobility, you may have just had dental surgery, you could be pregnant or you may just prefer a massage on your side as it is so super comfy!

There are many reasons when a massage carried out with you lying on your side may be a good option. Most areas of the body are accessible from this sideline position accept maybe the face (which can be received sat in a chair).

The result is a super relaxed human with all the areas you booked a massage to be worked on covered.

I would always suggest seeing a GP if dizziness has become persistent. Massage is not a cure for dizziness however it doesn't have to prevent you for going for a massage.

Has anyone had a massage on their side? Do did you enjoy it?
