Massage is a conversation which goes beyond the initial connection. In the same way that friendship builds so does the relationship between me and your body. We being to understand each other better over time and with this your treatments deepen and become the best possible treat for you.

As one of my clients said to me tonight, "You really know how to live!"

It is not rock and roll but I like it! 🤣

I like the fact the talk is being given to Dr Jeffrey DeMarco. He is either terribly British with a name like Jeffrey (said in zippies voice) or a little bit swish and mysterious and Italian.

I'll let you know.

Yer yer I know - New Year was 9 days ago - get with the programme! But it has taken me nine days to acclimatise and work out which way is up.
I heard the phrase on Wednesday "I'm still wintering!" - so I've stolen it. I am indeed still wintering. I have taken a slow approach to the New Year and will continue to do so.
I'm your girl if you want normal, down to earth conversations, with no BS and a little (ok a lot) of swearing.
My massages are intuitive, bespoke and pretty good in fact some would say excellent. So if you are feeling achy, sorey, hurty, saddy, cryie, dont want to go back to worky, you have a s**t bossy and life in generally feels like you need some TLC (y) you know where I am (y).
Lots of love

Why not share your Christmas rituals or traditions with me to get 30 free minutes on a 60 minute booking?

I will send you the code and how to claim once you comment.

Only one per person and all bookings for the 30 free minutes need to be made before the 18th January 2026. (I can't believe we are saying 2026!)

I look forward to hearing about your rituals.

Love,

Denise

Many clients have cited Christmas stress as their reason for seeking help this month.

I completely understand—Christmas can be tough both mentally and financially. As a child of divorce, I spent years splitting Christmases between parents, and when I had a boyfriend, another family joined the mix. It was stressful!

After my stepfather died, I chose to spend Christmas with Mum so she wouldn’t be alone. This was the start of reducing my own stress—I set boundaries and started saying no, using Mum as my reason. It made things easier.

Later, when we had our daughter, we put another boundary in place: instead of travelling to everyone, we invited people to come to us. We felt we’d paid our dues. Creating a stress-free Christmas took years, but it started with boundaries—and sticking to them.

Financially, I follow Martin Lewis’s advice: if you can’t afford it, don’t do it! The pressure for the latest gadgets or clothes comes from outside, but you can create pain-free traditions.

Take the elf, for example—either don’t buy one, or keep it simple. Move it around the house and let that be its magic. Christmas dinner can be reframed too: share the cooking or skip the big meal and have a picky lunch instead.

If Christmas is about togetherness, the rest doesn’t matter. If you’re still stressed, ask yourself why and who you’re doing it for. If it’s for you and your kids, why make it stressful? Take time to reflect and set boundaries for next year.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, but over time you can create a stress-free Christmas for yourself.

Hope this helps and you know where I am for a treatment in the meantime.

Love

Denise

Today's spotlight is on my beautiful Blackbird voucher.

This is the ultimate in relaxation and calm for the Mummy to be.

Being pregnant takes quite a toll on your body and having the time to relax but also have your hips and shoulders massaged can really help your body.

It takes the body up to 2 years to recover from pregnancy, both physically and hormonally and looking after yourself/ or your loved one while they are pregnant it vital.

Relax, be peaceful, be you for 90 mins.

Love

Do you like my moon walking French Hen? Ha ha - this at least made me smile.

This week I have been talking about back and neck pain with my clients. Inside your skull is a butterfly-shaped bone called the sphenoid. When the neck muscles get tight, they can subtly pull this bone out of alignment.

Think of it like tugging on one wing of a butterfly… everything becomes just a little bit wonky! 🦋

Now picture the sphenoid connecting down through your spine, all the way to your sacrum in the pelvic area. If either end of this chain is out of balance, it can affect everything in between.

So if you come in with lower back pain and I start working on your neck — this is why.

Your body is wonderfully interconnected — sometimes the root of the problem is nowhere near where you feel it. 💛

Watch until the end of the video for a visual on this!

Love

Denise

As my Christmas advent calendar starts today, I wanted to post regarding my terms and conditions for the Christmas Advents Calendar.

🎄The advent calendar is provided in good faith and it is my gift at this time of year for my clients. All offers are my own and there is a human behind each offering (me!). I am not a large corporation and I hope you enjoy what I have put together.
🎄To be polite - don't be an arse - if one person is, it is ruined for everyone else and I wont run them again!
🎄All offers are subject to availability and offered at Little Cottage Massages discretion.

Love Denise x
