If you joined me on the Pregnancy Massage course at JING this week – thank you!

I’ve had the most incredible four days sharing something I’m deeply passionate about. It’s always an honour to support pregnant clients, and this week it was an equal honour to guide other therapists in learning how to nurture during pregnancy.

Because when you care for a mother, you’re not just supporting her – you’re supporting her baby, her family, and her whole journey. 💕

Your Moment of Calm Awaits

The summer holidays can be a whirlwind — keeping little ones entertained, juggling plans, and barely finding a moment to breathe. 💛

I’ve had a rare last-minute opening tomorrow and a handful of spaces left this month (see highlighted dates). If you’ve been meaning to book in for a little you time — to unwind, reset, and feel like yourself again — now’s the perfect chance.

Secure your slot via my website and let me take care of the rest. Your body (and mind) will thank you.

💛 Do you live with jaw pain, clicking, clenching, or tension headaches? I’d love to hear from you. 💛

I’m currently looking for women aged 25–65 to take part in a special research project that's really close to my heart.

Over the years as a massage therapist, I’ve worked with so many women quietly suffering with TMJ issues — pain in the jaw, temples, neck, head — often without much support or understanding.

Now, as part of my final year studying the Level 6 Diploma in Advanced Clinical & Sports Massage, I’m running a 16-week research study exploring whether a combination of massage and home self-care can help reduce TMJ pain and related symptoms.

If this sounds like you (or someone you love), I’d be so grateful if you’d consider joining me. 💗

What’s involved:
👐 3 hands-on massage treatments with me (in Orpington)
📹 Simple, guided self-care videos to do at home
📝 A short weekly symptom check-in (online form, just a few minutes)
💬 Ongoing support from me throughout

This study is not free but is being offered at a huge discount to reflect your time, energy, and the important role you’ll play in contributing to real research that could help others in the future too.

You might be eligible if you’ve had:
Jaw pain or clicking
Tension when chewing or talking
Headaches or pain in your neck/shoulders
Teeth clenching or grinding (especially at night)
TMJ symptoms for 3 months or more
📍 Based in Orpington (BR6)
🕊️ Safe, supportive, trauma-informed environment
🎥 No previous experience with massage or self-care needed

And please feel free to share this with any friends, family or colleagues who might benefit. Every single person who takes part will make a difference — and I’d love to support you on this journey.

Warmly,

🇺🇸 4th of July. A day to celebrate freedom — yet Lady Liberty weeps.

While America lights fireworks, far too many women are being silenced, sidelined — or worse, lost.

🖤 Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old nurse in Georgia, was just eight weeks pregnant when she suffered a stroke and was declared brain dead. But under the state’s abortion laws, doctors refused to withdraw life support — despite her family’s wishes.
She was kept alive for over 100 days, even after scans showed the baby had fluid on the brain and may be blind, unable to walk, or unlikely to survive.

🖤 Amber Nicole Thurman (28) and Candi Miller (41), both in Georgia, died from treatable complications because providers were afraid to act.

🖤 In Texas, Josseli Barnica (28) died after a 40-hour delay in miscarriage care. Nevaeh Crain (18) was sent home from hospital multiple times before dying of sepsis.

🖤 Maternal deaths are now twice as likely in states with abortion bans. These laws aren’t pro-life — they’re pro-control.

These women deserved better. Their families deserved choices.
This is not liberty. It’s cruelty, written into law.

📢 Reproductive rights are human rights.
📢 Freedom means nothing without bodily autonomy.
📢 You don’t have to be American to care — just human.

Struggling with jaw pain, tension headaches or facial discomfort?
You don’t have to just live with it.

I’m inviting women aged 25–64 to take part in my massage therapy research study focused on TMJ (jaw) dysfunction — part of my final-year dissertation for a degree in advanced clinical massage.

This is a unique opportunity to receive expert, evidence-informed treatment at a significantly reduced rate. The study includes:

• Three targeted massage sessions
• Weekly check-ins to track progress
• Guided self-care to support long-term relief

To be eligible, you’ll need to regularly experience three or more of the following:
– Headaches
– Pain in your jaw, ears, neck, shoulders or temples
– Clicking or noise when opening your mouth
– Difficulty chewing or opening fully

If this sounds familiar, I’d love to support you through this transformative work.

Click the link in my bio to complete a short questionnaire and see if you’re eligible.

This is more than a study — it’s a chance to feel deeply supported, heard, and treated with care. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to prioritise your wellbeing, this could be it.

You don’t need to bounce back. You need space to breathe.

If you’ve had a baby in the last six months, your world has probably been a mix of love, exhaustion, and figuring things out one day at a time.

That’s exactly why I created this baby massage course — not just to soothe babies, but to support you too.

The next course starts this Tuesday, and it’s the last one before September.

Each week, you’ll learn gentle, effective massage techniques that can:

Help with colic, wind and sleep
Strengthen your bond with your baby
Give you a moment of calm and confidence
Connect you with other mums who understand
And at the end of every session, we sit down with tea, cake, and good conversation — because your wellbeing matters just as much as your baby’s.

You don’t need to know anyone. You don’t need to have it all together. Just come as you are.

And if you’re not sure if it’s right for you, I offer a full money-back guarantee. If you don’t love it, you don’t pay.

Spaces are limited and booking closes soon.

I’ve just spent two days in Brighton helping support the amazing Teresa and Marina teach chair massage to the most beautiful souls. Despite the face that Kevin is pulling in this photo chair massage feels amazing! I couldn’t believe how comfy the massage chairs are. Have you ever had a chair massage?

Happy Mothers Day! These three boys may drive me crazy sometimes but I wouldn’t change them for the world. They are the reason I get up in the mornings, the reason I work so hard, the reason I want to continue building a better life for my family. I also want to say Thank You to my mum for everything you do for us. 😍

Tonight as I’ve been writing the copy for my new website, it really hit me just how lucky I am.

Eight years ago, I started this journey with a passion for helping people feel their best.

What I never could have imagined was just how many incredible souls I would meet along the way. So many of you have been with me from the very beginning, and over time, you’ve become more than just clients—you’ve become friends.

Your trust, your support, your kind words, and even the little moments of laughter during treatments mean the world to me. Every booking, every recommendation, every message of encouragement has helped me build the business I love, and I truly wouldn’t be here without you.

So from the bottom of my heart - thank you!

Here’s to many more years of relaxation, healing, and friendship.

With love and gratitude,
Lucie

I woke up to this message. Obviously didn’t click on the link but I love the name and I’ve even found them a theme song. 🤣
