Are you okay this week? It's okay to not be okay, and with the theme of this years Mental Health Awareness Week being Community, take a few moments this week to reach out to someone if they don't seem quite themselves. It could make a massive difference.

It's Mental Health Awareness Week 💚

Here’s your reminder to check in with yourself, your family, and your colleagues.

Mental health is just as important as physical health, so let’s talk about it. Every conversation is a step towards breaking the stigma. 💬✨

Really pleased to see my advert & editorial in The Orcadian Health and Wellbeing feature this week. It's been just over 25 years since I first qualified as a Clinical Aromatherapist, before continuing to learn a range of therapeutic and sports techniques - not really sure where all the time has gone! Have so many happy memories of both colleagues and clients, not to mention many long days of event massage (before social media thankfully!) 😂

Regular clients might be seeing a change in my working pattern this year as I've reduced the number of appointments available on Fridays. This could mean a small difference in the booking times so be careful not to get caught out! I'm SO sorry if this affects your treatment, and I'd recommend booking a week or two in advance if at all possible, to make sure you get the time that works best for you. The good news is that I'll still have availability on Tuesday evenings at the Pickaquoy Centre too. For bookings, contact The Picky, T: 879900, or book online https://bookings.pickaquoy.com/scuba6/stellar2/start.php

With the change in weather this week, it's been a reminder that it's time to be aware of how we're feeling and make sure we're looking after ourselves as well as those around us. Making time for a walk, getting out in those few hours of daylight and trying a keep a good sleep pattern all play a part in keeping us mentally and physically well over the winter months.

Research evidence suggests that massage could have a positive impact on stress as well as stress-related mental health challenges. Whilst massage can't replace approaches such as psychotherapy or medication, for some folks massage can potentially play a helpful role in managing mental health.
