Why Did My Massage Make Me Cry?
Here's the interesting facts!
The Secret Behind Emotional Release

Ever had a deep tissue massage or sports massage that led to unexpected tears? You're experiencing a powerful emotional release—a common sign that your mind and body are connected.

Here's the quick breakdown:

​Your Body Stores Stress: Chronic anxiety and stress cause your muscles to tighten up, creating "holding patterns" for stress hormones like cortisol.

​The Nervous System Flips: Deep massage forces your body to switch from "fight-or-flight" mode (tension) to "rest and digest" mode (relaxation).

​The Release: When the muscle knot is finally worked out, the physical suppression on that stored emotion is lifted, and the feeling (sadness, anxiety, or deep relief) rushes out.

​What to do? It's a healthy, natural part of healing! Just breathe, let your therapist know, and allow yourself a restful afternoon to process.

Good evening everyone!

Welcome to all my new followers! ☺️

To all of my amazing supporters, clients , friends and family, thank you so much for your endless support and recommendations.
I won't be where I am now without you all.
I am forever grateful. 🙏 🙏❤️

Last weekend I went to moved in to my new business premises at the City Fitness gym building.
Thank you so much City Fitness - Melksham for the warmth welcome!
It was a pleasure meeting all other lovely ladies and gents who own other businesses in the building.

It's about time for me to step out of my comfort zone.
It's too many of you to be fitted into my little treatment cabin.

It was a great feeling to be separated from your work and your home.
Change is daunting but It's actually for me it feels good.

A week ago since I moved and yes it was very busy.

4 new happy clients added in, to my first week of work!

Looking forward to welcoming you all to my new treatment room!

Much love,
Cher 💜

Local massage therapy company shortlisted in UK Small Business Awards

A massage therapy company in Shaw has been shortlisted in the UK Small Business Awards.

Hilot Massage Therapy, based on Bath Road in Shaw, has been trading for three years and offers a mixture of holistic and sports therapies.

Owner Cherlina Ogilvie-Robb initially set up Hilot Massage Therapy in her spare room in Shaw. The business grew so quickly that within six months she moved into a purpose-built garden room.

Since then, she has never looked back and now has hundreds of clients on her books, including a Bath Rugby first team player, an ex-Commonwealth swimmer, a bodybuilder and marathon runners.

Due to the business’s continued growth, Cherlina plans to move to new premises in the next couple of months. This will allow her to further expand her offering to include couples’ massages and ladies’ nights.

For the UK, the meaning of September is tied to its position in the Gregorian calendar as the ninth month, with 30 days. It also marks the official start of autumn for meteorologists on September 1st, even though the astronomical autumn begins later in the month.
​Other key meanings and traditions of September in the UK include:
​Harvest: Historically, September was known as Haervest-monath (Harvest Month) in Old England, a time for gathering crops. The tradition of a Harvest Festival is still celebrated in many parts of the UK.
​"Back to School": September is the month when students in the UK typically return to school after their summer break.
​Unique Festivals: The month features unique local events, such as the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance in Staffordshire, which is considered one of Britain's oldest surviving ceremonies, and "Clipping the Church," a tradition of holding hands to form a chain around a church.
​Michaelmas: September 29th is Michaelmas, or the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel. It was once a significant day in the Christian calendar and marked the end of the harvest season.
