New treatment. Now available…!

Upgrade your recovery and relaxation with a Lower Body Massage + Pulsio Compression Boots session.

We’ll start with a tailored legs and lower body massage - targeting those muscle groups that really need some work followed by a 20 to 30 minute session in Pulsio Compression Boots for enhanced results.

Why this combination works:
Massage prepares the muscles by easing tension and improving blood flow, allowing the compression boots to work even more effectively — boosting circulation, flushing out toxins, and accelerating recovery.

Key benefits:
✔️ Faster recovery
✔️ Reduced muscle tension
✔️ Maximised circulation
✔️ Increased flexibility
✔️ Reduced swelling and heaviness
✔️ Relief from tired, achy legs
✔️ Leaves you feeling lighter, refreshed, and recharged

Perfect for:
• Active individuals, athletes, runners
• Post-workout recovery
• Long days on your feet
• Anyone needing a reset for their legs

Each session takes around 90 minutes and costs £80.00 - that’s for the massage + compression therapy. Your legs are so gonna thank you for this…

Heading into a season of running or hiking..? Ask yourself - are your muscles keeping up?

With park runs, marathon training and run clubs in full swing, your body is working harder than ever. Whether you’re chasing a PB, aiming for your first 5k, taking on a marathon or just enjoying the miles, regular massage can make all the difference.

Pre & post-run massage boosts performance and recovery.

Each session with me will include a mix of all this…

• Movement & ROM assessment
• Sports & deep tissue massage
• Active cupping
• Joint mobilisation
• PNF stretching
• Trigger point therapy

All with the aim of improving mobility, reducing injury risk, speeding up recovery, and keeping you running at your best.

And for the hill-walkers, hikers and munro baggers out there - remember - your body is also putting in some serious effort. Regular treatment can help reduce strain, keep muscle fatigue at bay and keep you waking those hills comfortably for longer.

If you’re feeling tight, stiff, or sore… you’re not alone.

I see this every day — people dealing with neck, shoulder, and upper back pain - often from time spent on phones, laptops, and tablets - but also from lifting weights, spending plenty of time in the car or even picking up and carrying the wee one about all day.

That constant forward posture builds tension not just in your neck, but through your shoulders, upper back… and even your chest.

The good news? It’s something we can work on.

Targeted massage helps release that built-up tension, improve your posture, and get you moving comfortably again — without that constant ache.

You don’t have to just “put up with it.”

If your body’s been trying to tell you something lately… this is your sign to listen.

Had a few messages asking if I sell gift vouchers - well, in fact, yes I do… Hurrah! Christmas is saved..!!!

Vouchers cost £50 and get the (very) lucky recipient an hours treatment - of their choosing - in clinic with yours truly. What a gorgeous person you are for gifting that.

I offer a full range of tailored treatments - from a wonderfully relaxing Swedish massage to a more targeted and specific Sports or Remedial massage. But don’t worry about that now. We’ll decide on the best treatment following the initial consultation. All they need to do is book in and turn up. I’ll take care of the rest.

So, you could spend fifty-quid buying smelly candles or some new sports gear or a jumper they’ll probably hate - or you could give them a gift that’ll most likely help both their mental and physical health.

Vouchers can be picked up from clinic - but as I’m not there all day every day - ping me a message and we’ll fix a time when you can swing by to buy and collect…

Cheers and Merry Christmas..!!

Apologies for the very long post - but I need to get something off my chest..!!

No Pain, No Gain? Not in Massage Therapy!

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard new clients nervously say, “I’ve been told it’s going to hurt — that means it’s working, right?” including 2 clients just this week…

The idea that “it has to hurt to work” is one of the biggest myths in sports and manual therapy. Painful, deep pressure doesn’t make treatment more effective—it often does the opposite. True healing isn’t about “beating” muscles into submission; it’s about calming your nervous system and creating the right environment for me to work with your body so it can heal itself. When your body feels safe and relaxed, it can let go of tension naturally.

Your muscles aren’t lumps of clay that need to be forcefully moulded—they’re part of a complex system guided by your nervous system. Considered, precise, and purposeful techniques target the body’s sensory receptors, helping to reduce pain, ease muscle tone, and restore balance. On the other hand, excessive force and painful treatments can overstimulate your nerves, tighten muscles further, and even cause bruising or inflammation.

Yes, some areas may feel tender or uncomfortable during treatment, but there’s a big difference between discomfort and pain. The goal is to work with your body, not against it. Any therapist worth ‘half their salt’ will work within your pain and discomfort levels. So next time you’re on the table, remember: pain is pain—not progress. A good therapist uses skill, not brute strength. A good therapist will take their time to carefully consider how best to treat and will treat accordingly. They will use a range of styles and techniques and not just run forearms up your IT Band whilst laughing as you squirm in the inevitable pain. Sports massage is meant to aid recovery, ease tired muscles, improve ROM, keep DOMS at bay and improve performance - now tell me how an hour of gritting teeth whilst a so-called therapist batters the f&*k out of your legs is going to to help with that…!?!

When it comes to your body, deeper isn’t always better—smarter always is.

Tonight I experienced my very first Sound Bath — and wow, what a great experience it was…

For anyone who hasn’t heard of it, a sound bath is a deeply relaxing meditation where you’re “bathed” in the vibrations of instruments like gongs, crystal bowls, and chimes. The sound waves help calm the mind, release stress, and even bring your body into a state of balance.

Must be honest… I wasn’t sure what to expect but little by little the sounds pulled me into a very calm and relaxed state. Stress melted away, my body felt lighter, and I left with an unexpected sense of peace and clarity.

And you know what… a little Friday night self-care after a bonkers busy week was exactly what was needed…

I’ll definitely be going again…

Many thanks to See you next month.

Another big shout-out and congratulations to my client, Alec, who came in 2nd in the 50-59 age category at the UK Driathlon (Scottish event) at Win Fitness in Hamilton yesterday…

The event is (excuse my language) fu #*ing brutal… 20 mins on Ski - 2 mins rest - 20 mins on bike - 2 mins rest - 20 mins on rower. An hour of absolute power and pain. Scores are based on total calories recorded over all 3 disciplines. Super proud of Alex coming home with 2nd place.

Win Fitness put on an outstanding event - atmosphere was pumping..! Great stuff.

So, what’s next for Alec… well there’s the Driathlon UK finals in October - but before that there’s the small matter of competing at the Hyrox World Championships in Chicago in June…

What an achievement, eh..!?! I’ll be seeing Alec real soon in clinic.

If you’re needing any massage work - sports, remedial, deep tissue, relaxation - get in touch. WhatsApp 07713 155583 to arrange a booking.

A wee announcement…

I’ve selected a local charity to support when and where I can… and that charity is ‘Back Onside’ – an outstanding community-based group that is dedicated to improving mental health and well-being by offering vital support services to those in need (and their loved ones) and, through raising awareness, empowering people to speak out and speak up. Never has this been more relevant and more important. And for this, they get my love, thanks and full support.

So. I’m kicking things off by providing some pre and post event massage at the Back Onside v Hollyoaks Celebrity Team football match on Sunday 11th May in Edinburgh.

Please have a look at this amazing charity’s website, FB or IG pages…

www.backonside.com
www.facebook.com/backonside

I believe there are still tickets available for the football match (and I think they cost less than a tenner) so please do come along if you can. It should be a really fun afternoon…
