For the past couple of years, Amethyst Beauty in Cockermouth has been the home of my business, and it’s a place I’m proud to work alongside such a talented and supportive team.

Amethyst offers a wide range of professional treatments and therapies, from manicures, pedicures, and waxing to relaxing massage treatments and facials. Their full range of services can be found on their website.

As I don’t work full-time in massage therapy, appointment availability can sometimes become limited. If you’re struggling to find a suitable slot with me, I highly recommend Amy who works out of Amethyst, who also offers Sports Therapy and massage treatments. The clinic also provides additional wellbeing services that can work alongside your health and self-care routine, including cupping therapy, lymphatic drainage techniques, and McTimoney treatments with Tricia for structural pain and alignment issues.

Whether you’re looking for support with physical wellbeing, relief from aches and tension, or simply some well-deserved time for yourself, you’ll be welcomed by a friendly, skilled, and professional team who genuinely care about helping people feel their best.

💥 DOMS — what is it and should you worry? 💥

Ever done a workout and felt fine… then the next day everything aches? 😅

That’s usually DOMS: Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.

If you’ve been to my LIFT & LENGTHEN class… chances are you may have felt this 😉💪

It normally appears 12–48 hours after exercise, especially after trying something new or working a bit harder than usual.

DOMS is caused by tiny muscle fibres repairing and rebuilding, which is a normal part of getting stronger.

✅ DOMS feels like:

• muscle ache/stiffness
• tenderness
• worse after rest but eases as you move
• goes away in a few days

⚠️ Injury feels more like:

• sharp pain
• swelling/bruising
• joint pain
• pain getting worse
• weakness or limited movement

A little soreness doesn’t mean you’ve done harm, it often means your body is adapting.

So please don’t let DOMS put you off exercise ❤️
Keep moving, recover well, and trust the process.

☀️ Don’t underestimate the power of good old Vitamin D… aka SUNSHINE! ☀️

Sometimes the simplest things can make the biggest difference to how we feel, and getting outside in the sunshine is one of them 🙌

Vitamin D plays such an important role in keeping us healthy:

✨ Helps support a strong immune system
✨ Keeps bones, muscles and joints healthy
✨ Can improve mood and energy levels
✨ Supports better sleep patterns
✨ Helps fight off that sluggish, tired feeling

And the best part? It’s free 💛

Even just 10–20 minutes outside, a short walk, sitting in the garden with a cuppa, or getting some fresh air between jobs can do wonders for both body and mind.

Sunshine + movement + fresh air = one of the best natural mood boosters there is 🌿☀️

So if you’ve been feeling a bit flat, low on energy or just stuck indoors too much lately… this is your reminder to step outside and soak some up.

Your body will thank you 😊

Do you want to get started with fitness, but the gym just isn’t for you?

The clocks will go forward tonight, and then the lighter evenings will finally be here ☀️

There’s something about this time of year that feels like a reset. More daylight, a bit more energy, and a good reminder to look after both your body and your mind.

It doesn’t have to be anything big; a walk after work, moving your body a little more, taking some time to switch off and reset. Small habits add up, and this is the perfect time to build them.

Longer days, fresh energy, and a chance to feel better all round 💪

23/03/2026

This morning I had the opportunity to speak with some of the beauty students at Lakes College about sports massage 💆‍♂️

We covered a range of topics including techniques, different modalities, and the importance of thorough consultations. But just as importantly, we discussed the things that aren’t always taught in the classroom—like practical tips for bed setup, effective towel draping, managing booking systems, and even choosing the right oils.

There was even some interest in equine massage 🐎

I really enjoyed the chance to share what I’ve learnt and picked up over the last 14 years—always good to pass on real-world experience

💚 Thank You Everyone 💚

A huge thank you to everyone who donated and/or booked a massage at the Mother’s Day Charity Massage Event at the weekend. Your support means so much.

A special thank you as well to Jeanette at Amethyst, who very kindly provided the room free of charge for the day, helping make the event possible.

Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we raised £250, which has already been submitted to the local Allerdale group of the MS Society. This will help support people living with MS and their families through local support, guidance and activities.

I’m incredibly grateful for the kindness and support shown by everyone who took part 💚
