Shannon’s Self Care Retreat

24/03/2026

A little life update 🤍

As many of you know, I’m getting married very soon 👰🏻‍♀️✨ and with everything that comes with that, I’ve made the decision to pause all my bookings for a short while leading up to the wedding.

I also want to be open and share that I’ve been struggling recently with PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), which can really impact my mood, energy and overall wellbeing. Wedding planning is crazy - let alone doing it in 12 weeks as a perfectionist with a creative side 🎨.

As someone who holds space for others, it’s really important to me that I’m able to show up feeling grounded, present and able to give you the best possible experience — and right now, taking some time to rest and reset feels like the right thing to do 🪷🤍

PMDD is starting to become more recognised but as its a big part of my life, it’s important for me to make sure that I raise awareness through my platform and advocate for women’s health. Especially as my client group are primarily women and I am surrounded every day by incredible and supportive women that inspire me.

I’ll be back taking bookings after the wedding, feeling more like myself again and ready to see your wonderful faces ✨

Thank you all so much for your kindness, ongoing support and understanding — it truly means the world 🤍

Happy International Women’s Day 🤍

As a woman running my own small business, I feel incredibly grateful to be surrounded by so many strong, supportive and talented women — clients, friends, family and fellow business owners bringing their dreams into reality ☁️

I’m especially grateful for the women who trained me, taught me, mentored me and opened their spaces to me along the way. The women in this industry who share their knowledge, encouragement and support are a huge part of why I’m able to do what I do today🫶

I truly believe we all pay it forward too, as new massage therapists enter the industry and are welcomed with open arms into our lovely community 🩷

Holding space for women to slow down, breathe 🫁, feel nurtured and safe is fundamental to my treatments and a very special part of what I do 🪷

Here’s to supporting each other, lifting each other up, and remembering that we deserve rest, connection and care too ✨

There’s nothing quite like girlhood and the bonds we share with the incredible women in our lives 🤍

Creating spaces for women to rest and be cared for is truly an honour 🙏

Let me ask you a question… 🤍

When was the last time you actually took time to fully relax?

Not scrolling.
Not watching TV.
Not multitasking.

Just lying down, breathing, and letting someone take care of you for an hour.

If your answer is “too long ago”… I’ve got you ✨

I’m currently taking bookings for mobile treatments.

🪷 Massage • Bespoke Aromatherapy • Reflexology • Holistic Facials 🪷

Send me a message if you’d like to book 🤍

Ps. A little life update… I’m getting married in 7 weeks 👰🏻‍♀️ and will be taking around 2–3 weeks off after the wedding, so if you’ve been thinking about booking a treatment before then, now is the perfect time ✨

a very different kind of post from me today but I wanted to share this wonderful news with my equally wonderful clients and friends 🩷

the easiest yes of my life ✨🔐🤍 forever with you ♾️❤️

My evening aromatherapy bath turned out to be the perfect PMS / PMDD / menstrual cycle support blend — Clary Sage, Ylang Ylang & Lavender 🪻

✨ Clary Sage – hormone balancing, eases irritability, helps with emotional overwhelm (especially beneficial during PMDD’s luteal phase)
🌸 Ylang Ylang – anxiolytic (softens anxiety), calms PMS, sedative, slows rapid breathing and heartbeat
🪻 Lavender – deeply relaxing, eases anxiety, promotes restful sleep 💤

My skin feels so soft and I’m all sleepy now 🫶

For safety, always dilute essential oils in a carrier oil before adding them to your bath ❤️

Sometimes the simplest rituals are the most therapeutic ❤️‍🩹

✨ A little business update ✨

After some reflection, I’ve decided to take Shannon’s Self Care Retreat fully mobile again 🌙

As most of my lovely clients already book me for mobile treatments, it feels like a natural next step 🏡

This means I’ll be bringing all my holistic treatments — bespoke aromatherapy massage, reflexology, and aromatherapy facials — directly to you, so you can unwind from the comfort of your own home 🕯💆‍♀️

I’ve loved my time at and I’m so grateful for the support and kindness I’ve received from the team there 🤍 Special thank you to Carley for all your support ❤️
This shift feels right — more personal, more flexible, and more aligned with how I want to offer therapeutic rest and nervous system care.

Thank you so much to everyone who’s supported me through every version of this journey — I honestly couldn’t do it without you 🤎
Here’s to this next calm, connected chapter ✨

As part of a wider pain management plan, yesterday I treated a lovely client who lives with cerebral palsy and experiences severe burning/aching pain around her scapula and collarbone.

She has tried physio, scans, massage guns, heat/cold therapy and hydrotherapy — and only the whirlpool bath has ever given any temporary relief.

Using a bespoke essential oil blend of black pepper, peppermint and cajeput, I focused on slow, responsive work with ongoing communication to support her comfort and nervous system. After working carefully into the muscle adhesions around the scapula, she finished the session smiling, pain-free and with improved range of motion in her neck and shoulder. The relief for her was priceless 🩷

“You have magic hands,” she joked 🥹 - Which really meant she finally felt relief after such a long time 🙏 This can be achieved through intentional sessions, combined with clinical skill and technique.

Holistic care isn’t “soft” — it’s specific, considered and deeply therapeutic. ✨
