Holistic Hideaway

05/01/2026

Today is a very special day for me, it's 21 years since I left the world of employment as a graphic designer, and ventured into the unknown of self-employment as a massage therapist.
It's been an amazing 21 years helping people, through therapies that I totally love 😁
I've met wonderful people, learned a lot, had some fabulous adventures, and this year is going to be bigger and better.
Thank you, to every one of my clients, to those people who have supported me, offered advice, and kept me going when things got tough.
Watch this space for exciting news, coming soon... Jan xx

That's a wrap 😃 time for some rest and relaxation.
Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas.

Thank you to my wonderful clients for supporting me through another year, I am very grateful.

I will be closed until Monday 5th January, which is the date I started Holistic Hideaway 21 years ago!
Then the party will begin, as I celebrate those 21 years in business. Keep an eye out for some special events next year 🥂🍾🎂🥳 Jan xx

We need help to feed our farm animals this winter. The hay harvest was very poor for everyone, so we need your help to buy in some more hay.

🎄✨ Shop Small this christmas (and make a local producer do a happy dance!) ✨🎄

We urge you to skip the soulless click-and-go shopping carts and put your money where the heart is this !

Here’s why shopping small makes a big difference:

🎁 Unique gifts: No factory clones, just handmade treasures crafted passion.
💌 You'll make a small business owner's day. Every cha-ching is followed by a genuine smile and maybe a cup of tea (or gin!) in celebration.
🌿 Sustainable choices: Better for the planet, better for our New Forest communities.
✨ Gifts with stories: Made right here in the New Forest - something no big chain can wrap up.

Even if you can’t buy right now, you can still support a small business:
✔️ Follow their page
✔️ Like, comment or save their posts
✔️ Tell your friends about them
Small actions = Big impact 💙

Please share this to your stories to support local makers 🙏

It's still so beautiful in the New Forest, so many colours. Another fabulous Friday walk, and the weather was amazing. This week we walked at Fritham 😃

Not my usual post, but something has to be done.
Please sign this petition to get the dumped rubbish by the River Cherwell removed https://c.org/nBrvz2mQhx
The fact that this has happened is bad enough, but that no one will clear it, that's disgusting 😢 Jan

Yesterday the weather was perfect and I took the opportunity for an afternoon walk with some friends from Brock Hill car park. Not so many fungi, but still some interesting ones I hadn't seen before, including a cauliflower 😃 I've had a play with some of the photos whilst having a mindful art evening 🎨
Are you heading out today? Where is your favourite walk at the moment? I'm after ideas 😊 Jan x
