Breaking News: Some bloke thought it was a good idea to ring me twice at around midnight, and send two needy messages begging for a massage.
Spoiler alert: it wasn’t a good idea was it John.

My sanctuary is for healing, not late-night creepers who mistake desperation for charm. Midnight calls don’t make you mysterious, John — they just make you look like a drunk toddler who found a phone.

Pro tip: If you’re after respect and attention, start by finding some manners. Until then, jog on.

I get asked about cacao a lot but until now I've never found a supplier that has the right vibe ... til now .. so...
Coffee may wake you up but Cacao wakes your soul!

There’s something truly special about sitting with a warm cup of raw cacao. The depth, the richness, the way it seems to reach right into your heart. The finest I’ve found comes from https://www.houseofwildcacao.com/ it feels alive in every sip.

I personally like to add a touch of Manuka honey, though you can soften it with date syrup, coconut sugar or maple if that calls to you. Just keep the temperature under 45 degrees, so the natural goodness and spirit of the cacao remain intact.

And while our furry companions may sense the energy, this is a sacred drink for humans only. Keep the ritual yours. ❣️

Yay Im back .. got my words around the wrong way as always. Those who know me know me and we laugh about it. Those who don't, my ADHD brain doesn't quite get words out right.. but hey ho, I don't care much, it's part of me! Then add in a smattering of menobrain and it's quite hilarious at times 😂

Woop woop I'm back into my business page! That was a palaver and a half but I got my page back eventually thanks to one superhuman at Meta 🤗

My fault entirely and I wasn't hacked. So sorry for anyone who messaged me. I'll be going through all the messages from May and June now x

The most authentic of people hate crowds, are often loners by choice, and don't have that deep insecurity to prove themselves to others ...

For those who are still in the dark and arrive expecting to find the crystal shop still here please note the following:

My Crystal Shop is Closed.

Sandy Cristel is now a private, appointment-only therapy studio and no longer operates as a crystal shop.

The shop closed in 2021, following a well-publicised, three month closing down sale, due to a decline in business and rising costs after the Covid lockdown and Brexit.

If you'd like to book an appointment, feel free to message me. I will respond to enquiries during my working days, Wednesday to Saturday.

Outside of these times, replies may take a little longer as I also run a Wildlife Rescue.

Thank you so much for your understanding.
Warmest wishes,
Sandy Cristel x

Honouring My Boundaries

I absolutely love connecting with wonderful clients, and I’m so grateful for the kindness and respect I receive from so many of you. 💛 However, I want to gently remind everyone that I have the right to refuse appointments with new clients if I feel the energy isn’t a good fit, if boundaries aren’t respected, or in cases of inappropriate behaviour.

Thankfully, this is rare, but when it does happen, I prioritise my wellbeing and will block those who don’t respect my space. This allows me to continue showing up fully for the amazing clients I work with.

Thank you to all of you who bring kindness and positive energy, you're truly appreciated! ✨😊

The sheer number of people who still waltz into my shop (now just my therapy studio), wide-eyed and hopeful, expecting to find the crystal shop that shut down years ago is honestly Oscar-worthy entertainment. Every time, it’s the same dramatic gasp — "Ohhh, I LOVED this place! I’m absolutely heartbroken it’s gone!"

Ah yes, you loved it so much that you didn’t step foot in here since Covid. Such devotion. Clearly, your unwavering support kept it thriving — oh wait, no, it didn’t.

The best part? Some of them even get angry at me, like I personally bulldozed their beloved (but apparently completely forgotten) crystal haven overnight, one so called "spiritual" person even gave me a s**t Google Review because I was closed hahaha! Sorry lady but your nostalgia-fuelled guilt trip isn’t going to summon a quartz-selling time portal. Maybe try visiting places you love more than once every half a decade? Just a thought!

Let’s be real here, if you genuinely love a small business, then give it business. Don’t get all pissy and snarky when it’s gone or shutting down and start leaving bad reviews like some kind of martyr. You were probably part of the reason it went in the first place! Funny how people only seem to appreciate a shop when it’s too late.

Have a great day and appreciate local small businesses! When they've gone, they've gone :D
