Something’s been quietly growing inside me for a long, long time, as some of you have guessed.
A vision. A space. A remembering.
For women who feel… too much, not enough, or just deeply disconnected from themselves.

I’m creating a slow, intentional women’s-only collective here in Upton.
A space to land. To soften. To reconnect.
Through movement, sound, rest, connection and emotional safety.

It’s called Ruska Collective - inspired by the Finnish word for the autumn glow before the leaves fall.
A symbol of beauty in transition, as we all are.

This won’t be loud or polished or fast.
It will be real, rooted, and soul-deep.
A space to return to yourself - in every season of your becoming.

If your heart whispered “yes” as you read this, you’re might say you’re already part of it. 🥹

📍Based near Upton, Poole, Dorset
💌 DM me if you want to be part of the quiet beginning.
We’ll gather soon - gently, and together.
With love, always.

Life lately…

Some of you have started to figure out (with the help of me telling you!) what seed I’m planting. It’s both exciting and terrifying, but deep down, I truly believe it’s aligned with my purpose.

For so long, I’ve felt unseen. Not in the obvious ways, but in the quiet sense of not being fully understood or respected as someone who’s not just floating through life with their head in the clouds, but moving with love, intention, and care.

Now, for the first time, I feel like I make sense to myself. Like I finally believe in who I am and what I’m here to do.
The next step? Helping others see it too.

Years ago, I told a friend I wanted to be successful - but from a place of love. They smiled warmly, placed a hand on my shoulder, and said, “Oh Kez, I do love you.” I think they thought it was just classic, naïve Kerry. But I meant it then, and I mean it even more now.

I finally feel like I’m on the right path. I feel the most me I’ve ever felt. Grounded in self-belief and aware of my worth.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing more about the seeds I’ve planted - and the growth that’s to come.

I long for a world where we can all live in truth. Where authenticity is respected, and love is unconditional. I believe we’re getting there. And no - my head’s not in the clouds 😜💚✨

With love always,

I often wonder… when did we start accepting leadership from boys in men’s bodies - those who act as if the world belongs to them and revolves around them? 🤔
(Send them love, wish them well - but we don’t need to follow them.)

What I do know is this: I am deeply grateful every single day to be surrounded by people with kind hearts, integrity, and grace. That’s you, my dear clients. 🥰💚

My little sanctuary keeps me grounded. It protects me from a world too often driven by ego and disconnection. And it’s all because of the energy you bring.

You light me up. 🌟
You give me purpose.
I don’t “have” to go to work - I “get” to go to work.

Every day, I get to help you feel better, move better, feel seen, heard, and truly valued - just as you do for me.

Thank you for showing up. Thank you for being you and thank you for trusting and believing in me.✨💆‍♀️💚

With love, always.

I’ve been noticing a certain kind of post lately - lots of people and influencers sharing really vulnerable moments: dancing in the sunlight, journaling by candlelight, crying on camera.
And often the caption says something like, “This isn’t for the camera. It’s for me.”

And part of me gets it… 🤍
But another part of me can’t help but think - but you’ve posted it. You’ve intentionally filmed it and posted it.

Those thoughts have stayed with me longer than I expected, and I’ve realised something: it’s not judgment. It’s envy! 🥹

Envy that I don’t feel confident enough to share myself like that. Envy that I haven’t yet found that level of unapologetic self-expression. Doubt that, no one would be interested in seeing content like that. It’s all so heavy, thinking of how to put yourself out there when YOU are your service.

The funny thing is - I’m not someone who always overthinks. In some areas of my life, I act on impulse. I speak before I think. I leap without looking.
But in other areas, especially around being seen, I get caught in my head of limiting beliefs (I’m working on this)
Caught between wanting to express myself wholeheartedly and fearing how it’ll be received. You might say, “You shouldn’t care.” But I do care; I care so much. It’s my reputation at the end of the day.
And such a big part of running a business now is this. It’s showing up online, which just feels so premeditated and forced - to me.

The good news is: I’m getting better.
Better at pausing, noticing, and choosing from a more grounded place.
I’m still a work in progress - but I’m a more conscious one.

And maybe that’s the point: not to always get it right, but to notice the gap between where I am and where I want to be - and keep gently moving toward it.

Does anyone else feel this?

My latest musings…
I feel like we may have already had our summer… It’s been a bit hit and miss, hasn’t it? That said, my garden has certainly appreciated the extra hydration, and the rainy days have made for some beautifully cosy massage sessions.

But don’t worry - while the temperature (hopefully!) begins to rise outside, things will be staying nice and cool and calm in here.

Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time in my head. As any parent will know, the juggle of raising children while working is real - a true daily balancing act. My children love being close to me (which I cherish!), but it does mean the back-office side of things has taken a back seat, hence my quiet presence on here recently.

On the bright side, treatments have been booking up — a heartfelt thank you for that! Life beyond the treatment room has been in full swing too.

If you’ve read this far, thank you. I’m happy to say I still have a few pockets of availability this week. If you’re in need of some freedom of movement, a quiet moment where you are the one being looked after, or simply a chance to pause and replenish — I’m here. With love, always.

Thoughts and conversations lately have been around learning how to reconnect with ourselves.

So many of us; myself included, have become so disconnected from our truth. Our soul free selves.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve grown up in a world where from a young age, you were taught to prioritise productivity, achievement, and others’ expectations over your own emotional needs.
You may have been, encouraged to “push through,” “be strong,” or “not feel too much.”
This creates a pattern of ignoring or suppressing inner signals in favor of external validation.

Then today’s, modern life moves so fast. Lots of us are in a near-constant state of doing — working, caregiving, hustling.
When we’re always in motion, there’s little time or space to feel what’s going on inside. The nervous system shifts into survival mode, which numbs or dulls inner awareness.

Then comes the online world! We’re more “connected” than ever — yet increasingly disconnected from ourselves. Constant scrolling, notifications, and digital noise pull our attention outward, reducing opportunities for quiet reflection or authentic inner connection.

But there’s good news!!

How massage with me can be a beautiful step in starting to reconnect to yourself…

🌿 Coming Home to Yourself 🌿

In the stillness between each breath, there is a place where you remember who you are.
Not the roles, the rushing, or the responsibilities — but the soft, steady hum of your true self. (You still might be like, ‘Who?’

Massage isn’t just about easing tension in the body. It’s a sacred return.
With each mindful touch, stress unravels. The noise quiets.
You sink back into your body — and your being.

✨ Massage invites you to pause.
To feel.
To listen.
To reconnect.

This is the power of presence. This is the art of coming home.
You don’t need to do more. You just need to be — and let your body lead the way. I’ve got you!
💆‍♀️🤎

I’ve had a few thoughts lately about behaviours. Curious to explore this more. Not only for myself but for my children too.
An attempt if you will to help guide them, the best way I can.

I believe our behaviours are ultimately our form of communication when we don’t have the words. (Or people around willing to hear the words) and I’ve come to the conclusion that very often the behaviour being displayed isn’t actually the source of the problem.

I’ve been delving into my own behaviours and thinking about why I behave the way I do. It’s been interesting…
It’s opened up thoughts about my fears, my insecurities, but also the times my behaviour is from a place of true authenticity.

I’ve been chatting to the boys lots about the ‘Why’s?’ And how it’s a fabulous question to ask. It shows you’re there for deeper understanding, to learn, to grow!

So maybe give it a go for yourself.
Ask yourself ‘Why am I behaving this way? What do I need right now?’
Be curious, it may just unlock more about yourself that you didn’t know.
It’s definitely done that for me! 🧡
