Thanks to everyone who has booked an appointment, recommended me to a friend, supported on social media and shared kind words. Whenever the self doubt creeps in, I’m reminded why I do this. Thank you all, Susan x

December appointments are filling up. I’ve added more days/times throughout the month so will hopefully have space for new and existing clients to book their massages.
I know that December can feel pretty overwhelming, whether that’s from the constant pressure to create the perfect Christmas or from the demands of work and kid’s school activities, so try to fill your own cup especially if you are the default Christmas doer in your family! Not to forget those who find this season a really difficult time emotionally, a little self care may just help things feel more manageable.

A guide to treatment and pricing.

After a consultation, your bespoke massage may include cupping, gua sha, gentle stretching, hot stones, reiki.

If you feel that you need more time on the head or the hands or feet, let’s do that.

If you want to go with the flow, take a more organic approach and see what we discover, then that is the approach we can take - it seems to work for most of my clients!

Using my hands not to fix, force or correct but to listen, to connect, to interpret.
The body lets go of her tension when she feels safe, grounded and trusts the process.

A bespoke massage treatment with a blend of essential oils chosen and mixed just for you to ease your specific symptoms.

Studies have shown that massage is an excellent tool to assist with easing the symptoms of perimenopause and it’s even more effective when used alongside aromatherapy.

There’s a long list of reported symptoms of perimenopause, it’s not just hot flushes and irritability. Trouble sleeping, anxiety and brain fog, joint and muscular aches and pains, skin dryness are just a few of the more common symptoms. Every woman’s experiences are different; if you’re lucky you sail through with minimal symptoms at the other end of the scale su***de rates are highest in women in midlife.

However it’s not all doom and gloom! This stage of life can be empowering, the feeling of loss of self can be mitigated by taking steps to becoming a new stronger version of yourself especially when we take control to minimise symptoms as we see fit to do so. As with most things diet and exercise play a crucial role and hrt may be of help.

Massage helps down regulate the nervous system and in combination with the right essential oils the results may be enhanced further. The very act of taking steps to prioritise your self care can help you reconnect with yourself and look at the bigger picture.

Let me know if any of this resonates with you and if it sounds like something you would like to try, we can work together to create your personalised blend of oils, any left after your massage you are welcome to take with you.

An abridged version of a piece of work by Maira Kalman which I absolutely love.
The women I see are holding so much, literally and metaphorically juggling and spinning plates and cartwheeling simultaneously!

It’s just what we do, holding things, holding on, sometimes for dear life!

Let me hold space for you to let go of everything even if it is just for an hour. Allow your head be held and feel the tension melt away.

Definitely next month…
When life calms down…
Once things are sorted…
Just got to get these meetings out of the way…
When the new schedule is out…
When I get my diary organised…
After the (kids, partners, pets) appointment …

There’s always going to be something

If you don’t prioritise your self care …it probably won’t happen

Book yourself a massage, better yet, make it a non negotiable part of your routine.

At Taproot Massage Therapy the aim of the massage is not just to treat the physical structure of the body; yes we want to work the musculature, remove tension, unravel ‘knots’, and work the fascia. However, what we really want to do is work with your nervous system creating an environment where the mind and body feels safe enough to release, that’s where the magic happens and where the healing really begins.

Aromatherapy to go!

I use aromatherapy in many aspects of my well-being and find they can offer a natural support to some of the symptoms of perimenopause. These Remedies To Roll from are the simplest, no fuss way to use aromatherapy on the go throughout the day, they’re perfectly balanced and come in a range of blends which all smell amazing. I have them in my bags, in the car, scattered around the house, and they’re great for taking in hand luggage on holiday.

Choose from:
Relaxation- with lavender
Study- with clove and orange
Meditation- with sandalwood
Night time- with chamomile and neroli
Energy- with rosemary
Travel- with clary sage
Women’s balance- with rose

I mix and match to be honest to cover all eventualities! Roll on pulse points if like me you don’t get along with the artificial smell of perfume, or roll on the palms and deeply inhale.
Available to buy from the treatment room at or use the link to my shop page
These roller are great value and last for ages. They are Soil Association certified essential oils whenever possible, Fair trade and Fairwild certified🌱

If you don’t have time to schedule a massage, that’s a sure sign you definitely need one!

One hour a month, doesn’t sound like much does it?

However I know from experience that many women like yourself can list numerous upcoming appointments in their diary for their work, kids, partners, house things, pets (don’t get me started on horse owners!!) while you have nothing scheduled for yourself.

Make the time for some self care and put it in the diary on a regular basis-you can’t pour from an empty cup!
