The feedback for this work so far has been incredible.

I’m so grateful for everyone who’s taken the dive in, and I’m always amazed at how powerful these sessions are because of how willing and vulnerable you’re all choosing to be.

I chased healing for years, went from physio to physio, practitioner to practitioner, and so I know the constant up and down of having hope for change each time.

The messages I’m receiving from a lot of you, after just one session, saying how life changing it’s been already for you to connect with yourself in this way, brings so much joy into my life, because I know how badly I was looking for that myself.

That said, when I look back at a few of the practitioners and coaches who really did help make a difference in my life, I’m very aware that they were there all along but I wasn’t ready to dive into that kind of work - I simply didn’t think it was for me or related to my physical pain in anyway. And that’s okay. I’m grateful for the coaches who were there when I was ready (they’re not all on social media, but shoutout to my dear friend .franco for holding space for me when I was truly ready 💙) and I’m grateful to now be doing the same.

So, with all that said, the above is the price list for one to one, in person sessions with me. Also, is the new offer for my Self Enquiry coaching package, which I’ll talk more of soon. For any more information or enquiries in the meantime, shoot me a message ❤️ I offer a free discovery call to every new client, to make sure this is the right work for you before you book in.

I’m looking forward to working with more of you as and when the time comes 🙏🏽 and thanks again to those who have been in already, for deciding to put yourself first, and for sharing your experience with others - it’s keeping me nice and busy ❤️🙌🏽

With Somatic Therapy being a huge part of the new Self Enquiry sessions at Akira Wellbeing, I thought I’d start sharing some info as to what it really is. For those of you who have worked with me in the past in more of an intuitive & energetic coaching format, this won’t be anything new to you. But if you’ve been coming in for traditional sports massage and injury rehab, this will be quite a change 💙

What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to healing that works directly with the nervous system, aiming to increase your capacity to feel, move, and respond to life with more ease.

Many of us carry unresolved stress, trauma, and emotional patterns in our bodies. These patterns unconsciously shape so much of our lives, from how we move and breathe, to how we relate to others — and how safe we feel in the world. Over time, they can manifest as chronic tension, pain, autoimmune disorders and other forms of disease.

Through hands-on work, intentional physical exercises, and guided awareness, somatic therapy helps the body gradually acclimate to positions, movements and sensations that may currently feel overwhelming — often because they’re linked to held trauma or unconscious emotional responses. During this process, these unfelt and unresolved emotions often arise, and together we create space for them to be felt and expressed fully.

This gradual exposure builds nervous system capacity and internal resilience, allowing for deeper emotional and physical integration. This increased capacity to sit with one’s feelings and experience, allows it to be met with presence, understanding and clarity, so that you can begin to move forward in ways that create the life you want.

By listening to the body in this way, we begin to uncover the unconscious beliefs and narratives that may be silently influencing how we feel, behave, and function.
This isn’t just about relieving symptoms - it’s about changing the internal conditions that created them and the story we’re telling about ourselves moment to moment.

If you’re ready to explore what your body might be trying to say, I’d love to work with you over at our new home in 📍💆

Welcome to Massage by Madelyn!

This goes without saying really. But here we are having to say it.

Unfortunately, there has been far too many cases of inappropriate sexual advances towards our staff recently. One case is far too many, but this has now happened multiple times in a matter of weeks.

Our staff are highly skilled at what they do - helping people heal from chronic pain and illness to live the lives they deserve. It’s a beautiful thing to be able to do, and they should be able to do so without fear of clients making inappropriate advances at them, commenting on their appearance, sending explicit messages etc.

We have young female staff on our team, and take these matters of misconduct seriously. Any inappropriate behaviour will result in an immediate ban from the clinic and the incident will be reported.

We’re so grateful for all of you amazing people that come through our doors each week, and we’ll forever love working with you. This message is of course for those who do not understand what it is we do, and what behaviour is and isn’t okay.

Unfortunately, a regular client recently thought it would be okay to display such behaviour multiple times to our new female staff member. We’ve also made the mistake of recommending this client’s local business in the past. For this we apologise and will be getting in touch with those who have enquired about their business previously so that we can make you aware of the situation.

In a completely unrelated matter, we will no longer be recommending any local driving instructors.

Thanks to the rest of you great people for being so great. Can’t wait to see you in clinic soon.

More big news!

As well as looking to take on a massage therapist, we’re wanting to expand our services by housing an experienced beauty therapist! 💅

We’re open to various kinds of beauty services, so if you’re a beautician looking for a space to work from in Hastings town centre (with free parking for clients 👀) then please get in touch! The role will be self employed, so would work well for an existing business looking to upgrade their location and make the most of our client base at The Gym Group.

We’re very much a holistic clinic still, and so finding the right person to match our team is key. If that could be you, let us know 🙌🏽

Our summer beach boxing classes are back 🙌

These are wellbeing oriented boxing classes, aimed to get us out in the sun (or rain), by the sea, training together and setting the day off right ☀️

No experience necessary & all fitness levels welcome!

Starting June 14th 🥊 Come get involved 🥊

Join us! 💆‍♂️💆‍♀️

We’re looking for a qualified massage therapist (minimum level 3) to join our team and lead the hands on work with our clients.

As a holistic wellbeing clinic, we’re open to all kinds of hands on therapies and services, but ideally whoever comes on board will be interested in working in a gym environment and with clients needing help to recover from tough training sessions & long days at work.

The role would suit an established therapist who’s looking for a central location to work from (with parking facilities) and to build their client base further through advertising within the gym. However we’re also interested in helping newer therapists build their business up, so do get in touch if that’s you.

The role is a freelance position, so you would still be able to run your own business, but we’d like to work closely as a team as we’ll be referring most of our existing clients and new referrals to you as well. As such, communication and collaboration is key :) We have a range of expertise in-house and want to work together to ensure our clients get the best service possible 🙏🏽

If this sounds like something you or someone you know would be interested in, send us a message!

It's our birthday! 🥳

How fast one year has flown! The studio has changed a lot since we moved in last November. We started as a clinic of Sports Therapy and Osteopathy, but over the year we've evolved into something much more holistic, and thankfully, something much more authentic. Unfortunately, Lewis had to leave us to go and live it up in a lovely French villa (we miss you Lewis), but we've been blessed since to have the wonderful Lottie join our team! We've been really lucky to work with so many of you in so many different ways, and we're so grateful for the support you've all given as we continue to grow. You're the best! 🫶🏾

We're a few days late to celebrate as we've been busy working on an exciting new project (all will be revealed shortly!) But we're ready to get the party started 🎉 To thank you for all of the support, we're giving away the following to 5 lucky winners:

1× Neck, shoulders & back massage 💆‍♀️

1× Upper body cupping treatment 💆‍♂️

3× Recovery Salt Bags (made in-house by Lottie!) With a 10% off voucher

To enter:

And that's it! Our winners will be announced on Monday the 20th of November 🎉 There will be some bonus entry options coming up, so keep an eye out 👀

Good luck! And thanks again for a great first year 🥳💙
