🔥✨ The miracle cure for pain ✨🔥 ~ does even exist and would it serve you ? 🤔

First of all, pain is one of the strongest and loudest warning signals from your body announcing something definitely needs your attention. Take painkillers alone and you just cut of the wire to the flashing light, having resolved nothing 🔕

Pain can become a habit too, an adaptation, a way that the nervous system becomes and remains hypersensitive expecting a threat (like an injury, an environmental stressor etc ).

Tension can become chronic as a way to brace against the pain , real or expected. It’s a way for your body to say ‘I do not feel safe, I expect pain’ .

Emotional pain can also be expressed in the physical, as your body is really your subconscious mind.

… And it would be rude, even cruel to remove the tension all at once, because , for many , your nervous system will have no idea what to do with that, being completely and suddenly stripped of from it’s comfort pattern. Yes, even if it takes energy and hurts, your body might still believe that tension and contracting keeps it safe on some level, safe from more pain .
It’s a viscous circle though, because in actual fact more tension creates more pain ⭕️

Therefore, after a massage session (especially if you’ve been in pain for months or years) your body will likely experience a release, followed by aches (similar to the post/workout aches) , then it will likely reverse to habitual tension (not as bad as before but still tension).

What we want to do in the therapeutic alliance between me ,as the massage therapist, and you ,as the client, is to give enough time to undo the tension pattern in a gradual, sustainable way that your nervous system can accept and work with. We are training you body to remember that being free of tension is safe !

Think of each massage session as one portion or one dose in that process. No therapist had a magic wond to remove your pain in one session, and even if we did it would possibly be detrimental because it doesn’t give your system the time to adjust to that tension-free reality you so desire. We need your mind too come on board, and that take a little time .

A set of 5-6 sessions, at the beginning closer together, then more spread out, followed by monthly maintenance is my approach to chronic pain , and what I have seen works really well for clients . 💆‍♀️ 💆‍♂️ 💆

Effective but kind enough, giving you change that your body can sustain . ✨🤍

Like anything in life, you budget for the things you truly value. Massage therapy is an extremely valuable service for pain relief, mental health boosts, nervous system regulation, and more. Is that something you value?

Additionally, massage therapists are athletes. We require strength, flexibility, endurance not just in our physical body to perform the work we do, but in our mind! Running & managing a massage practice is hard, rewarding work 🫶🏼

If you purchase a £5 coffee everyday for 31 days that’s £155 of coffee each month. You could easily get a 90 minute massage each month for that. Many people buy £5 coffees every single morning!

Holistic services are worth the rate and worth the budgeting. This includes your facials, your energy work, and more. Time spent regulating your nervous system, tuning inwards, relieving pain and indulging in you is always time well spent 👏🏼

❗️Please note, my 90-minutes session prices go up from £110 to £145 on 1st March. ❤️

The body tells a story .

🧠 Where Your Body Stores Emotions 💫
Emotions don’t just live in the mind — they often show up in the body as tension, pain, or discomfort. Understanding these signals can help you reconnect with yourself and release what you’re holding inside.
🍑 Hips – Unresolved grief and buried emotions often settle here, especially during long-term stress.
💪 Shoulders – Carry the weight of responsibility, pressure, and chronic stress.
🔻 Lower back – Linked to fear, insecurity, and instability in life.
😬 Jaw – Repressed anger, frustration, and words left unspoken.
❤️ Chest – Sorrow, heartbreak, and sadness that hasn’t been expressed.
🧠 Neck – Inner conflict and difficulty expressing one’s truth.
🤢 Stomach – Anxiety, emotional shock, and unresolved emotional trauma.
✋ Hands – Issues related to control, letting go, or holding on too tightly.
🦵 Knees – Resistance to change, flexibility, and personal progress.
The body often speaks when emotions are ignored. Listening with awareness and compassion supports emotional balance and overall well-being.

Jaw tension? The answer may be in your pelvis.⁠

Pelvic numbness or even pain? The answer may be in your jaw.⁠

Did you know... Your pelvis and jaw were connected long before you left your Mother's body?⁠

After two weeks of development in utero, two depressions form on an embryo - one forms the membrane that forms the mouth and one forms the membrane of openings the urinary and reproductive tracts.⁠

The connection is strengthened through a line of connective tissue called fascia that runs from the tip of the tailbone up through the center of the body and out towards the tip of the tongue.⁠

Many women experience disconnection, numbness, and even pain in the womb area.⁠

Loss of sensation , incontinence, chronic constipation, and hemorrhoids can all be signs of tense pelvic floor muscles.⁠

For many of us, the pelvic floor may feel difficult to locate with our awareness. ⁠

But now that we know that the pelvic floor is connected to the jaw, we can use the connection between the two to create deeper relaxation, softness, and ease in BOTH areas.⁠

Massage can be so much more than just 60 or 90 mins on the table .

It can set the tone for a day full of self love and self care. Your is mini retreat.
So, I HIGHLY recommend planning your day around your massage.

Make it a full day experience so that you can take all the rest, relaxation, and amazingness of your massage with you through your whole week. ❤️

New gift for myself ~ I saw this book over 2 years ago in a cafe in Bali and my eyes went 😍 It just arrived in the mail. My fascination with the body continues, even 12 years since I began as a massage therapist. Continuous education and development is one of my values. Elly is snuggled in my lap as I start chapter 1.
