The Guardian has an article exploring the benefits of regular massage.

As a fully trained and insured massage therapist I use an approach which takes conventional massage to a higher standard.

When I provide a treatment it has an affect on your whole being, not such physical. It also benefits you emotionally, energetically, mentally and spiritually.

A professional massage is not a luxury, although it does feel luxurious. It should be part of holistic self-care.

You matter.

While they can be seen as a luxury, massages are often part of healthcare – here’s how they affect physical and mental health

I’ve just revisited a blog I first wrote in 2019, before I trained in trauma-informed approaches and before I began working with people who hear voices.

Reading it again reminded me why I do this work. Because so many people are carrying experiences that have left them feeling disconnected or unsafe in their own bodies.

The good news is, change is possible. Our nervous systems can be supported to find safety again.

Whether through gentle, trauma-informed massage or deeper coaching conversations, I offer a safe space to begin that process — helping you to feel calm, grounded, and more connected to yourself.

First written in 2019 and now updated to reflect Karen’s ongoing trauma-informed practice, this heartfelt piece explores what really supports healing. From compassion and co-regulation to the power of human connection, discover why being seen and heard can change everything.

I frequently encourage people to prioritise self-care. Often we put ourselves last on the list. Especially if we’re mothers.

Anyway, as I am not a keen cook but I love food, and have a condition that requires some food elimination, I do enjoy having food cooked for me.

Big shout out to The Wee Coffee Shop for being awesome! They confidently cater to my dietary requirements and are the BEST little cafe in Tayside. Book to avoid disappointment.

Salad platter on the left has no dairy, wheat or soya. Panini on the right is for normal people 😉

Reflecting on my last client this evening.

He’d struggled this week, stressed, feeling uncertain, unable to do much due to waiting for phone calls, and sore from sitting around waiting.

He wanted to feel happy and positive, tall and loose, with a clear head.

He opted for an Air treatment and wanted to stay face down throughout. An Air treatment is very light, very slow with moments where I might hang out in one place, gently moving slowly in and out of the top layers of the tissues.

Afterwards, as he walked around to complete the treatment he noticed that he felt that he had let everything go. He had a clear head and felt focused. He was smiling and looked happier.

Every treatment is tailored to you on the day.

Andrew’s story: Learning to Live with Voices and Support Others.

Andrew shares how peer support and understanding schizophrenia helped him live with voices and support others in mental health care.

Today is World Hearing Voices Day., 14/09.

People who hear voices, or have other sensory experiences, and who may have a diagnosis of psychosis or schizophrenia are so often stigmatised or misunderstood.

Too often, the Voices community is portrayed through fear or stereotypes, when in reality it is made up of people finding their way, living with challenges, and seeking connection like anyone else.

It is a great privilege for me to know some amazing people who face such immense challenges and yet still show their humanity and humour.

This webpage will offer a bit more information if you’d like to investigate:

On 14th September, we mark World Hearing Voices Day by raising awareness, challenging stigma and promoting understanding of hearing voices.

Had some time with my daughter this weekend. We went to my happy place today. My idea of heaven! Always fills my soul with joy.
What do you do to replenish?

It’s always a joy to provide the Gold Standard of massage to my clients. And just as wonderful to get such awesome feedback.
Now rebranded as 4Elements massage, in case you see it advertised as such, this amazing approach continues to evolve and develop.

Love yourself; it's a fundamental belief necessary for accepting love from others.

Some of the things you’re carrying… might not even be yours.

If you’ve ever found yourself repeating family patterns, even ones you swore you’d break, you’re not alone.
✨ It’s not a lack of willpower.
✨ It’s not your fault.
✨ It’s your nervous system doing what it learned to do.

But healing is possible.
In this week’s blog, I explore intergenerational trauma, why it gets passed on, and how deep change is possible, starting with you.

I also share a personal story from my own QEC journey of releasing a pattern passed down through three generations.

This work is tender, but it’s powerful, and you don’t have to do it alone.
