😱Between £7 and £13 decrease in pay.
Not long ago one London on demand Massage platform has implemented a shocking decrease in pay to complementary therapists with many professionals left to decide whether to work for little over £40
per massage, or stay at home.
I think this change reflects 2 broader structural issues, that affects not only therapists, but the exploitation of a whole professional category, the economy we live in, and you as the client receiving a treatment, be it for your wellbeing or for recovery.
1️⃣ The Gig Economy Model
Therapists are treated as independent contractors, not employees: this means
• No sick pay, pension, or employment protections
• The platforms controls pricing and client access (yes, the therapist you like is available but hidden from you so you can't build a relationship)
• Financial risk is shifted onto the worker
• Workers become easily replaceable within an algorithm-driven system
2️⃣ The De-Qualification of the Workforce
• Professional training, CPD, insurance and specialisation require ongoing investment
• Lower pay reduces therapists’ ability to invest in further education
• Experienced professionals may leave the sector
• Less experienced practitioners replace them
• Over time, overall skill levels decline
3️⃣ Beyond pay, this affects clients:
• Less continuity of care
• Higher turnover
• Reduced long-term therapeutic relationships
• Explain every time your health history, sign yet another disclaimer form, received a treatment you don't like the last one you had.
WHAT YOU CAN DO AS A CLIENT:
✅ Book directly with a therapist !
It supports:
• Sustainable professional development
• Greater consistency of treatment
• Stronger client–therapist relationships
• A more stable and skilled profession

How we choose to book services shapes the kind of professional ecosystem we sustain.

Can hand reflexology relieve a toothache? Spoiler: yes. 🖐️🦷
As I’ve already shared in a previous post — when I used hand reflexology to calm a toothache on a flight back to Italy— I became curious about where this knowledge actually comes from. Yes, I learned it during my training. But then I remembered seeing this old image in this post during my course somewhere… which led me to open the book “Zone Therapy” by William Fitzgerald.
And there it was. In Chapter 16, among discussions about finger pressure for pain relief, a section titled:
“Zone Therapy — mainly for dentists.” Fitzgerald explains why many dentists resisted using this method (spoiler: they didn’t want to look foolish), and then urges them to adopt it because “it will materially diminish the sum total of pain and suffering that humanity is called upon to endure”.
Reading this made me pause and reflect on how lucky we are to live in an era of modern anaesthetics and what pain management must have been like back then.
Fitzgerald suggested that Zone Therapy could be called Zone Analgesia, describing how thumb joint pressure could ease dental pain:
“pressure by an assistant exerted over the joints of the thumb will mitigate or quite control the pain in the incisor and occasionally the cuspid teeth”
and that this relief could last (“a degree of anaesthesia lasting about one half hour, although pressure can, if necessary, be reapplied at any time.”
Sometimes, what feels like modern holistic wisdom is actually old knowledge rediscovered. Now it would be curious to understand where he got this from. An old tale? Or simply by trying? 🖐️✨

Come with me for a Chair Massage day!
Everything was great, except the coffee.
I hope my Italian Citizenship won't be taken away for this 🤪

In this picture, I’ve just inserted the needles for the Labour Induction protocol developed by Terry Oleson.
I love combining auricular acupuncture (ear acupuncture) with reflexology, but this protocol is also powerful as a standalone treatment when used appropriately in late pregnancy.
According to Oleson’s method, specific ear points are used to support the body’s natural readiness for labour — not to force it, but to encourage physiological balance, relaxation, and hormonal regulation. Here are some of the key auricular points involved:
✨ Uterus — for obvious reasons: we need to support uterine oxytocin receptors, contractions, and readiness
✨ Abdomen — helps regulate pelvic and digestive tension, and reduce pain in the whole area
✨ Point Zero — promotes overall balance and homeostasis in the body
✨ Shen Men (the Spirit Gate) — calms the mind, reduces anxiety, and supports emotional regulation
✨ Sympathetic — helps relax the nervous system and reduce stress-related tension. It is also considered an expulsion point, so it should never be used before week 37 of gestation
✨ Thalamus — supports pain modulation and sensory processing, helping regulate how intensely pain is perceived
✨ Lumbar Spine — addressing lower back tension is paramount, as it can increase perceived pain and restrict the pelvic mobility that is so needed. It can also interfere with efficient uterine contractions
✨ Spleen — in Chinese medicine, it is closely linked to pregnancy and labour, transforming food into Qi and Blood, the fuel needed to sustain contractions, prevent fatigue, and support uterine strength. If Spleen Qi is weak, contractions may be inefficient.
What is important to understand is that 2/3 sessions might not be enough and I always recommend to have at least 6 for the desired results.

🤪 I did it again! And this is my New Course Dance 💃
Studying is my passion and I've signed up to my Vodder Lymphatic Drainage training. I have hesitated because the study commitment is big.
The day I signed up I felt the joy and wanted to dance, so I recorded it and here it is ❇️

❤️ 7 hours Chair Massage. One corporate office in Central London. And honestly?
I LOVED every minute.
The booking sheet filled up in 3 minutes and people were literally  running  to secure a spot. And I get it, I see this all the time: the idea of stepping away from your desk for  20 minutes of pure “me time” (no emails, no pressure, no noise) is irresistible.
But what really amazed me? The impact.
✨ Upper back, neck, and shoulder tension melting in minutes
✨ Stiff, stressed bodies leaving  lighter, looser, and refreshed
✨ Relaxation that doesn’t make you sleepy — but  recharged, alert, and motivated.
Some of the finishing techniques are designed to wake up your nervous system, so you walk away calm and energized, ready to take on the rest of the day with focus and drive.
Chair massage isn’t just a quick treat.
It’s a fast-track to wellbeing, productivity, and mental clarity.
Days like this remind me why I love what I do. 💆‍♂️✨
Who knew 20 minutes could change your entire day?
Chair massage is an instant wellbeing reset.
And today proved it. 💆‍♂️⚡

🤰Given the demographic I work with, it would make sense for me to offer pregnancy massage — and for a time I did, after training with Jenny Burrell.
🙏 I genuinely enjoyed supporting bodies through pregnancy but after my back surgery in 2019 I had to stop as it was too demanding for my lumbar spine.
😵‍💫 In my view, the last thing you need when booking a pregnancy massage is a generic, spa-style one with buckets of oil, long superficial strokes, and soothing movements that don’t address anything meaningful.
😩Pregnancy does bring a wide range of musculoskeletal pain and you might find your body needs something very different, more like decisive hands and deeper work that targets the aches, tensions, and postural strain that built up over months.
➡️ To work safely and comfortably (for both therapist and client ) you need a wide hydraulic couch with proper height adjustment and enough space to support a changing body.
✨I still receive regular enquiries and, even when I’m not the right practitioner, I like to guide people towards choosing the right therapist and here’s what I always suggest:

🔸 1. Start local�Search by neighbourhood or postcode. Proximity matters, especially later in pregnancy.

🔸2. Check qualifications carefully�Look for a solid sports massage qualification (LSSM, NLSSM, Jing) alongside CPD in pregnancy massage. This usually indicates a strong understanding of anatomy, adaptations, and red flags (crucial!!).

🔸 3. Be clear about what you need�If you’re looking for deep, problem-solving work, ask for it. If you’re seeking abdominal massage, be aware that some clinically focused therapists choose not to offer this — it’s a professional decision, not a limitation.

🔸4. Comfort and consent �A good therapist will always check in with:
* Your wishes and concerns
* Your physical comfort and positioning
* Your tolerance to pressure and pain

❤️ Pregnancy massage can be incredibly valuable when it's done well, so choose wisely

🤦🏻‍♀️ the pain of a mobile therapist
Other items I've stepped into,
causing me to swear endlessly but only internally:
.
🐱 dry cat food
🧸 toys of all kind, but all very small
💦 drops of something. Hopefully water.
🔸dust clumps mixed with hair and God knows what.
I know what you'll say: just wear the socks. Eh no my friend, because 1. the pain of a lego will be felt equally, 2. I don't want to take home your dust bunny, and socks are slippery, 3. I can't get a grip for a good massage if I slide backwards on my feet while I press down on you.
So there is only one way: if you ask people to take their shows off, clean first. Thank you 😀

If there’s one thing working in hospitality taught me, among many lessons I might share one day, it's that "no" is never an answer.

“No, sorry, that can’t be done” is never the answer in customer service. The true way to be of service is to provide options and to guide toward a solution, even if it’s not the one you personally can deliver.

I’ve carried this mindset with me into my work as a self-employed complementary therapist. Often, I receive enquiries I can’t fulfill: sometimes because the person lives outside my mobile service area, sometimes because I’m away and they need someone immediately, or sometimes because the request falls outside my qualifications.

When I can, I try to offer alternatives in meaningful ways:
* Sharing tips on how to find a suitable therapist in their area
* Pointing them to trusted directories of qualified practitioners in a discipline I don’t offer
* Providing the contact of a trusted colleague

Offering alternatives isn’t just polite — it’s part of being genuinely of service. It shows that even when you can’t provide the solution yourself, you can still guide someone toward the support they need and it builds trust, connection, and the understanding that care isn’t just about the service you personally provide, but about the network of support you can help people access.

What do you think about this? Is it a waste of time for you as practitioner? And how do you perceive it when you are a client?
