This is what quite a few of my Friday afternoon clients are loving.... Just round the corner...

This is me at 8am this morning. Baguettes, rolls, farmhouse loaves, sourdough, ciabatta, focaccia, scones! I'm knackered! 🍞🥖

What are you up to this morning? 🌄

See you all later ☺️

Well!! that was a very tiring but very useful weekend course.. Some of you will be practiced upon in the next few weeks 😉

I’ve had quite a few messages over the weekend - lots of you with viruses, coughs & colds. Always let me know and we can come up with a plan to treat or postpone/ rearrange as appropriate.

I’ve updated my availability to the end of April on my client page, but I’ve got some appointments now available this week

Tues 3rd 11.00
Weds 4th 9.30

I will be busy the next 3 days doing the third part of the Hands Free Massage Course..

I will do an updated availability list to the end of April on our client page later this evening.

Have a good weekend yourself and think of me studying and doing practicals all weekend 😉

I don't ask clients to write reviews for me .. but it is lovely to receive feedback from you.. I hope the authors of these 2 messages I've received this week don't mind me sharing anonymised extracts.. it's great to be able to make a difference with both massage and the aromatherapy blends I make...

Good evening - what a lovely treat to see the sun today 🙂 ☀️

I had a wonderful evening on Tuesday - my last client was unable to come so I took the opportunity to go to The Patchwork Community! - I’ll try & include a link in the comments below.. The lovely Anna set this up quite a few years ago now and I’ve been longing to go - but finally managed it. What a joyous evening of singing and friendship. Highly recommended!

I ticked a few jobs off my list this week too- including writing and sending out an email to all my regular clients. (If you haven’t found it, check your junk mail before you PM me 🙂 ). It includes confirmation that I will NOT be increasing my prices this April - but also asks that all clients please pay for their treatment on the day. I know that if you don’t bring cash or a cheque, the poor signal at my place makes it difficult to pay on site - but sending a bank transfer before you leave home or work would be much appreciated if you think you might forget once you leave me in such a relaxed state 😉

Have a wonderful week - and see some of you soon.
Clare

I'm not sure whether this will share due to privacy settings - but some of my clients have found Helen's help very beneficial 👍

Do you feel stuck, hopeless, worthless, or feel constantly triggered by situations you don’t fully understand?

Analytical Hypnotherapy is a powerful form of therapy that combines the deeply relaxing state of hypnosis with a unique approach that seeks to uncover and resolve the root cause of emotional and physical symptoms – enabling you to regain control and enjoy life again.

Many of my clients come to me after trying conventional talking therapies like counselling or CBT. Despite their best efforts, they still feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or just not quite right. They’ve talked through their problems, used logic and willpower, but deep down, nothing seems to shift.
That’s where my approach is different.
I work with the mind’s natural process of emotional release to safely access the deeper, unresolved issues that may be buried out of sight – helping you move forward, feel lighter, and live more freely.

Yeuch - it’s cold and wet out there so I’ve lit the log burner and am catching up with admin stuff - hoping for it to brighten up later ..

There are still lots of you with coughs & colds & other viruses/ chest infections.. I hope you can fight them off soon & I’m grateful to you for not sharing with me..

It’s been a very varied week in the treatment room -
Lots of massage but also reflexology and Reiki - with some lovely blends… 2 of my favorites were plai, ravensara and lemon (excellent combination on both a physical and emotional level), and also roman chamomile, valerian and lavender (a wonderfully relaxing evening blend).

Whilst I’m sure you all do your own research before taking supplements which might interact with your prescription meds, do take note that not all supplements are a good idea for everyone! For example, are you taking any of these meds? - if so, maybe avoid additional turmeric/ curcumin in your diet https://www.medicinenet.com/who_should_not_use_turmeric/article.htm

A polite reminder that it’s much appreciated if you pay on the day of your treatment 🙂. Thank you

Updated availability will be posted on our client page in a few minutes, and my diary is now booking into May 👍

Good evening

I hope you’ve had an enjoyable/ productive/ contemplative/ leisurely/ busy weekend (whichever you were hoping for) 🙂

I’ve ticked off lots of jobs at home and a few errands too.

I visited a new (for me) farm shop on Saturday - Home Farm Produce in a little village called Grove - just outside Retford
https://www.homefarmproduce.co.uk
A very friendly and helpful owner with a wide range of produce - check them out - a little difficult to find down a pot-holed track - but worth it!

The effort of moving and stacking over a ton of wood after work on Tuesday was rewarded - I got it all under cover before the rain AND it’s burning slower and hotter than any other I’ve bought since moving and having a log burner 🙂 Having grown up with a coal fire as the main source of heat, I love sitting in front of a proper fire..

The shorter days and miserable weather mean I’ve been doing a little more reading - my current book is one that some of you may have read already - Dark Calories by Dr Catherine Shanahan. I’ve only read the first few chapters so far but a fascinating look at how many of the “vegetable” oils we have been told are good for us, and better than the butter/ tallow/ lard etc that previous generations ate, are in fact toxic. I knew quite a bit of the info before, and haven’t used the offending oils myself for a number of years, but to see the science, and where these oils are hidden, seeming to explain so many of the first world’s health problems.. …. Hmmmm.. Interesting.

A couple of appointments are available this week - have a look on our Client page or, if you aren’t a member, message me for more info

Looking forward to seeing you soon
Clare
