🌿 *Sacred Pause* 🌿

Not everyone finds it easy to slow down.
Not everyone knows how to rest

Life can feel full, busy, constant…
and somewhere along the way, we forget to pause

This is your invitation to do just that 💙

Sacred Pause is a 60-minute holistic reset designed to help you soften, breathe and come back to yourself

Beginning with grounding heat to the feet, flowing into a deeply calming back, neck & shoulder massage using Blue Lotus oil — often used in meditation to enhance mindfulness and support emotional healing — before moving into soothing facial reflexology

Your treatment is gently closed with Reiki and soft chimes, leaving you feeling centred, calm and restored ✨

💙 60 minutes
💙 £64
💙 Available throughout April & May

If you already have an appointment booked with me and would like to amend it to this then just let me know 💌

Just set up the beds 💤 ready for my soundbath 🎵

Hope everyone enjoys the evening of soothing sounds 🥰

Mother’s Day can mean many different things 🌸

For some, it’s a day of celebration
For others, it can bring memories, longing, grief, complicated relationships, or quiet reflection

Whether you’re celebrating, remembering, missing someone, navigating a difficult relationship, hoping to become a mother one day, or simply finding your own way through the day — rest, breathe, take a moment of calm… and know that you’re not alone 🤗

Sending love to everyone today 🩷

Did you know that my sessions don’t just have to be for an hour?

I do shorter treatments if you’re a bit pushed for time - 30 and 45 minute options are available.

And for those that want to completely indulge and relax then we can do 60, 75, 90, 105 or 120 minutes. I think 2 hours is probably my absolute limit though - not sure I could hang on any longer before needing to use the facilities - IYKYK

And what about upgrading your treatment? Did you know this was a possibility? Here are some options:

Fancy starting your treatment with a foot soak and scrub? We can do that - £15 for an extra 15 minutes.

Want to add a back cleanse and scrub to your massage? Also £15 for an extra 15 minutes.

You can end your session with 15 minutes of sound therapy - £15 gets you this additional time.

Would you like hot stones with your 30 or 45 minute massage? An extra £10 gets you that.

Hands or feet feeling a bit dry or dehydrated? Then why not add some collagen gloves or socks (or both) to your appointment and they can be working whilst you enjoy your treatment. £8 each.

Want to feel cool and refreshed after your massage instead of hot and sticky? Then you can add some cooling peppermint balm for £5 - the oil will be removed using hot towels and then I’ll add the cooling balm to make you feel all cool and tingly.

Would you like to totally zone out whilst having your massage, reflexology (feet) or reiki session? Then why not pop on a heated eye mask for £4. Or you can take one home to continue the relaxation later.

Our Relaxation Lounge is launching too - if you fancy an extra 30 minutes of chill out / relaxation after your treatment with me then you can move into the Relaxation Lounge, get comfy and just be. There will be warm blankets, a hot drink and soothing music. You will be left to completely relax and you can let yourself out when you’re done - only £15 for this.

30 minutes not enough, then you can extend it up to an hour. I’ll probably have to come in and wake you up! - an additional £25 gets you all this extra time!

Can you think of any upgrades you’d like to be included? Get in touch to let me know.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme is Give To Gain - encouraging a mindset of generosity and collaboration

When women thrive we all rise

And giving doesn’t have to cost you money, there are lots of ways to give

• give celebration
• give visibility
• give respect
• give opportunities
• give momentum

We can all give our local businesswomen these to help them thrive

Here are a few of my favourite women owned businesses

Julie at Sparkle Beauty - I’d be lost without her
Michelle at Michelle Coxhead Holistic Therapies - my treatment swap buddy
Angela at The Fitness Project - the place I go to keep fit and keep my mind in the right place
Gill at Pilates North East - keeping my body flexible
Anna and Jane at Equilibrio - the BEST retreats I’ve ever been on

The list could go on …

Who is your favourite woman in business? Can you give her visibility? Celebrate her achievements?

Another great review from a client who was able to forget about her busy life for an hour of ‘relaxation and calmness’ 🤩

Did you know that I don’t just offer massage?

Did you know there are lots of options to choose from?

Did you know that you can mix and match treatments to create a bespoke session just for you? Or if you want to try out several treatments that you’ve never had before and don’t want to commit to a whole hour of something.

You can check out the ‘Mix and Match’ section on my booking system for some examples. However if what you’re after isn’t there, get in touch and I can create the perfect session just for you.

My treatments are never about following a routine or one size fits all - they are all completely bespoke to you. On the day.

It depends how you’re feeling when you arrive in my treatment room and what you need at that time.

Of course there are things that need to be prepared in advance - like hot stones, or hot towels and products if you want a facial - a little bit of notice is required for these. But usually I can make your session exactly how you want it.

So here is a list of treatments that are available:
Massage - but you knew that already! However this also comes with choices - aromatherapy, Indian Head Massage, myofascial release
Reflexology - on the feet (my personal favourite), on the face and on the scalp - or why not have a session with all 3
Pregnancy packages for the ladies who are expecting a baby
Want something a bit more woo woo? Then you can choose reiki or crystal healing, or both combined into one session
Sound therapy - already covered in the last ‘Did You Know’ post - did you read it?
Facial - a wonderful Temple Spa facial using products for your skin requirements (the amazing products they use at Seaham Hall) which also includes a bit of facial reflexology and cranial reflexology

Have you got a plan in your head of how your perfect session would go? Let me know.

Absolutely love that people love what I do 🩶

I’m so grateful to be able to do this as my job 🥰

I’ve got a couple of Treatments of the Month that will be available throughout February and March, giving you plenty of time to grab yourself an appointment. Here are the details:

A BIT OF TLC

• Back cleanse and scrub
• Back, neck and shoulder massage with Rose Geranium pure essential oil (we can use a different oil to suit you on the day if florals are not for you)
• Followed by a facial acupressure massage and ending with some cranial reflexology

You will also receive a rose scented self-heating eye mask to take away and continue the relaxation at home (I have other fragrances if rose is not your thing)

To coincide with World Sleep Day 💤 which is happening in March, I thought we would focus on words like Drift Away and Slumber for one of the Treatments of the Month.
This year’s theme is Sleep Well, Live Better 😴

DRIFT INTO SLUMBER

• 25 minute back, neck and shoulder massage using Drift Away oil, by TempleSpa
• 35 minute TempleSpa Slumber facial
• A hydrating collagen hand treatment (gloves) will be applied at the start of the facial and removed whilst your face mask is working it’s magic. This will be followed by a hand and arm massage. Your hands should look and feel beautifully hydrated

Both of these are 60 minute treatments, are £64 and available throughout February and March.

If you have an appointment booked and would like to change it to either of these then just let me know.

There are also some appointments available - perfect to grab yourself some me-time.
Leave a message in the comments of you’d like the link to book 💌

Hope to see you soon for A BIT OF TLC or to DRIFT INTO SLUMBER.

Did you know that I offer sound healing sessions for up to 6 people in my treatment room here in Low Fell
There are group sessions that I organise - the 2nd Monday (6.15-7.30pm) and last Thursday (6.00-7.15pm) of every month
The next sessions are Thursday 29th January and Monday 9th February - get in touch if you'd like to book a space 💌

If you and up to 5 friends would like to book your own sessions then send me a message for more details

You can also book smaller sessions if the dates and times of my group sessions are not suitable - these can be booked directly on my booking system (under the title RELAXATION WITH SOUND) and can be for 1, 2 or 3 people

What is sound healing? 🤔

Sound healing or a "sound bath" is a practice that uses specific frequencies produced by playing instruments such as gongs, singing bowls or drums. The vibrations from the sound resonate throughout your body and mind promoting relaxation, healing, mental clarity and emotional balance. Certain frequencies can evoke emotional responses, trigger memories and induce states of relaxation

The way we experience sound is unique to each of us. It resonates with us based on our life experiences, meaning that the same sound can evoke different emotions and sensations for different listeners

What to expect from a sound healing session with me?

When you arrive, I will ask you to set an intention for the session - what you hope to gain from the session. This can be anything you like. For example: relaxation, stress relief, emotional release, focus, pain management, peace, calmness, a specific healing goal or anything else specific to you

You will lie down. I will begin with a few words about your intention for the session while beating a shamanic drum. I will then play a combination of gongs and singing bowls. There will also be short periods of silence to allow your body to process the vibrations

Sound is a rich and complex phenomenon that connects us to ourselves, to each other and to the universe around us. Embrace it, and let it guide you on your journey!

Did you send or receive one of my gift vouchers as a present this Christmas? 🎁

If so, this is a gentle reminder to get your appointment booked in sooner rather than later - please don’t wait until your voucher is about to expire 🔔

Or if you bought a voucher as a gift perhaps you could send a reminder to the person you gifted it to

You can check availability and book yourself in using the unique code on your voucher - get in touch if you need any help 💌

Thank you for choosing my small, independent business for your gift this Christmas 🥰

LETS WELCOME IN JANUARY

Have you gone back to work yet? Or have you managed to stretch the break out for a little bit longer? I’ve gone back to work today (Sunday 4th Jan) for a few days, then off again until Monday 12th, then it’ll be a case of getting back into my normal routine

I’ve been reflecting on the past year and remembering what has happened in my business 🥳

I did an intensive, 5 month sound practitioner course at the beginning of the year, and I am now offering sound sessions - for groups as well as 1-2-1’s 🎶
Going forward I hope to do group sound sessions on the 2nd Monday and last Thursday of every month - the next one is Monday 12th January 6.15-7.30pm - get in touch if you’d like to book a space 💌

Me and Julie became business partners, created The Treatment Rooms Low Fell, and moved into our larger premises at the beginning of June - can’t believe it’s been 7 months already! We are still making tweaks to make it as comfortable as possible for your treatments but everyone seems to love the space. We do too! 🤩

Moving back to Low Fell has been such a great move and it’s lovely to see past clients coming back through the doors, as well as new people finding me for the first time. I’m so grateful to be so busy 🤗

For those of you that were gifted vouchers for Christmas why not get your appointment booked in now - you can check availability and book yourself in using the code on your voucher 💆🏼‍♀️ 👣

Enjoy the rest of your weekend (and possibly your last day off work)
Chris xx
