If you’ve been here a while, you might notice my socials are getting a bit of a refresh. If you’re new — welcome!

I wanted to start with the basics — what I do, how I work, and why you might want to book in. Perfect for new followers, and a handy reminder for the regulars.

Now, I had grand plans to work with a social media pro for my revamp… but Enzo here had other ideas. Let’s just say the “Instagram/Facebook budget” took a detour to the vet. He will always come first, even if he never appreciates it...

So, you’re (still) stuck with my DIY posts — but they’ll be real, useful, and hopefully a little educational too. Stick around, I am just getting started.

Just a quick heads-up from the land of unexpected drama: yesterday took an interesting turn when my dog Enzo, decided to mix things up and start urinating pure blood (yes, you read that right)

Cue emergency vet visit, where they discovered a mysterious mass in his bladder, and is now the subject of an intense biopsy investigation

Although my husband was with him, I had to briefly step out of a few appointments to take vet calls — but I made sure to add time back on so that no one missed out

Now my husband has had to go in to work, so if you’re booked in this week, please bear with me if I have to dash to the phone during a session. I’ll always make sure you get your full time, even if it means we run a smidge over - or I can add this time to another treatment if you need to get away on time. I also completely understand if someone wants to cancel/reschedule completely

Enzo, meanwhile, is comfortably milking the attention and enjoying five-star post-vet treatment, even if he cannot bear to look at us right now 🤣

Thanks for your patience and kindness — I really appreciate it more than you know

I don’t usually believe in, or even mildly celebrate myself… but not only have I completed my Osteopathy degree, I’ve managed to earn a First Class Honours degree. All whilst running a full time business too - so, here I am — briefly proud, then back to being awkward 🥹😊

Finally taking some time off, I think it is needed 😁

I'll be back in 2 weeks

If you're looking for a qualified MLD therapist, please always check the register or alternatively the BLS - British Lymphology Society (I am registered on there too...)

What a lovely day it is today, so just catching up on some admin (and boring exam study) in the sunshine.
Please can I just highlight the below:

🏠 Just a little favour: when you're heading in or out of appointments, please stick to walking on my driveway only. It helps maintain good relations with my neighbours. Thanks so much

🕡 Feel free to message me if you arrive a bit early! I don't have a waiting room, and while I leave gaps between appointments, some patients need extra time. To avoid them feeling rushed and to minimise cross over, please message me first. If I'm free, we can start early, and I'll adjust the end time

🤧 Your health and the health of others are important to me. If you're unwell, particularly if you're experiencing any symptoms of a contagious respiratory illness or D&V, please let me know, and we'll reschedule your appointment. Arriving unwell will mean I have to cancel your appointment and charge the full fee

Thank you!

Good morning,

Just wanted to give a diary update, as slots are getting very limited. This is partly due to existing bookings, but also needing time out to study for my remaining 5 exams.

March is fully booked, next appointment is Wednesday 16th April. I am still running a cancellation list.

May has very limited availability. My online booking has been amended to reflect this, but I have also added blocks to ensure only these times below are bookable, rather than the open access usually available. Bookings can be done online or via message to me.

Depending on how the study goes, I may be able to open the diary for some evening slots in May.

Thank you as ever for bearing with me. Hopefully I will pass all I need to, and I will be back running full time again shortly.

Nic
