Goodbye February 🌧️✨ The new year already feels like it’s racing ahead — another month done (and wow, what a wet one). Another chapter closed… but our stories keep unfolding, growing, softening, surprising us. Brighter days must be on the way. Surely. 🤣☀️

🌿 Little Feet, Big Feelings 🌿

Children’s Mental Health Week

In the world our children are growing up in, their little hearts carry more than we sometimes realise. Alongside school and friendships, they’re navigating a society shaped by social media, comparison, and pressure to “fit in.” It’s no wonder their wellbeing can wobble.

Children may focus on how they look, how they’re perceived, or whether they belong—but we can help shape a different story. Let’s teach them early that:

• Beauty begins within
• Self‑care is not a luxury
• Their feelings matter
• Looking after themselves is a strength, not an indulgence

Holistic therapies can be a gentle, grounding support for children experiencing stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional imbalance.

Reflexology and energy-based treatments offer a safe space to breathe, reset, and reconnect with themselves—something many young people desperately need.

Because every child deserves support, I’m offering:

💛 Half‑price treatments for all under‑16s moving forward

If you feel your child could benefit from a calm, nurturing space to unwind and rebalance, please reach out. Little feet carry big feelings—and with the right support, they can learn to walk through the world with confidence, resilience, and self-love.

What does Reiki feel like?

💚Sensations of warmth or heat are frequently reported during Reiki sessions. This warmth is often felt in the areas being treated or in the hands of the practitioner, and it's associated with the flow of energy.

💚Sensations of energy pulsing or flowing through the body are also reported. It might feel like waves of energy moving through different areas. Some individuals describe feeling tingling sensations, like gentle vibrations, as Reiki is administered.

💚One of the most common reactions to Reiki is a deep sense of relaxation and calm, akin to a deep state of meditation.

💚A feeling of lightness or expansion is also often reported. This might involve a sensation of energy spreading out beyond the physical body. Like a breath of fresh air for your spirit.

💚 During a session, individuals may experience emotional releases such as tears, laughter, or feelings of profound peace and contentment.

💚Reiki can quiet the chatter of the mind, bringing a sense of mental clarity and inner peace.

💚Some people report seeing images, colours, or experiencing visualizations. These experiences can range from seeing bright lights or specific hues to intricate patterns and symbolic imagery.

💚 Not everyone feels distinct sensations during Reiki. Energy is subtle, and sometimes things are happening on deeper levels that may not necessary manifest as an noticeable external reaction. Perhaps a few days or weeks later you may feel calmer or less reactive to something that really bothered you before. Or you notice a general improvement in your overall well-being and resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Trust the Reiki energy to do what is needed. 😊💫

** Limbic Reflexology Case Study Update **

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has reached out to support me with my Limbic Reflexology case studies. I’m delighted to say that my two required case studies are now in place, and we’re just finalising dates.

For those of you who commented, were tagged, or live with Fibromyalgia, ME, CFS, or other chronic pain conditions, I want you to know that you’re still very much on my mind. Once I’ve completed my training, I’ll be offering an affordable introductory treatment plan for the first eight sessions to help you get started gently and move towards simple monthly maintenance. Living alongside my twin, family, and friends who navigate these conditions has shown me how deeply they affect everyday life, and I’m committed to making support as accessible as I can.

I’m also considering offering a reduced rate for regular reflexology sessions for anyone with Fibro, ME, or CFS, with a little Limbic work woven in as needed. I can’t offer everything for free while I’m completing my limbic training, but I’d love to find a balance that supports you while keeping things sustainable for me too. Would a discounted rate or extended session time feel most helpful?

🌿 Case Studies Wanted – Limbic Reflexology 🌿

I’ve just completed my Limbic Reflexology training and now need two case studies.

I’m looking for people with a diagnosis of:

• Fibromyalgia
• M.E.
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

You’ll need to commit to 8 treatments (once or twice a week, no missed sessions).

Completely free of charge — I just need your feedback after each session.

This work is close to my heart. My twin has fibro, and I’ve already seen how much reflexology has supported her. Limbic Reflexology is another beautiful tool I can use to help others in the same boat.

If this sounds like you, or someone you know, please watch the video and get in touch. 💛

Comfort in Every Touch

Today, on World Cancer Day, my heart is with anyone walking this path — whether you’re in treatment, supporting someone you love, or holding memories close.

In my work, I’m reminded every day that a simple, caring touch can bring a moment of calm when everything feels heavy. It’s a quiet way of saying: you’re not alone, and your strength is seen.

Holding you in thought today, with softness and respect.

✨ Hello February… a fresh page, a softer light, a new beginning ✨

“New month, new intentions, new goals, new love, new light and new beginnings.” — April Mae Monterrosa

February always arrives with a different kind of energy — a little calmer, a little clearer, and full of possibility. After the soggy swirl of January, it feels like a chance to pause, breathe, and realign with what truly matters.

This month, I’m inviting you to set intentions that feel nourishing rather than demanding.

Choose goals that support your wellbeing.
Welcome in love in all its forms — self-love included.
And allow a little more light to reach the places within you that need it most.

Whether you’re seeking grounding, balance, or a gentle reset, my treatment room is ready to hold space for you.

Here’s to new beginnings, inside and out ✨

We all know I love a good poo 💩 conversation!

Some weeks really test you… and sometimes all you can do is laugh at the chaos.

A client shared a moment with me recently that reminded me how even in the most ahem “eventful” situations, there’s still a tiny positive hiding somewhere.

Life isn’t always glamorous, but finding the humour in the messy bits can make everything feel a little lighter.

Here’s to spotting the silver linings, even when they come with tummy rumbles and questionable timing.

🌧️ Goodbye January… you’ve been a soggy one! 🌧️

As we wrap up what feels like the wettest month ever, I’ve been extra grateful for the cosy calm of my treatment room. While the rain has been dancing on the windows, it’s been a sanctuary of warmth, healing energy and deep exhalations.

Out in the garden, the first brave little buds are starting to appear — tiny reminders that brighter days are on their way. And Rosie, of course, has taken the weather as a personal invitation to become a full‑time mud enthusiast. If only we all embraced life with Labrador-level enthusiasm!
Maybe she’s onto something…

Perhaps January is a nudge for us to find our inner child, splash in a puddle or two, and let the elements remind us we’re alive.

Here’s to February — lighter, brighter, and full of fresh energy.

And if you need a moment of grounding, warmth, or a reset, my cosy little room is ready for you ✨

✨ Sunday Study Day ✨

After a gorgeous self‑care Saturday, today has a very different energy… and I’m here for it.

It’s study mode activated as I dive back into my Limbic Reflexology course. I’m officially halfway through now, and the deeper I go, the more fascinated I am by the way our nervous system, emotions and physical symptoms intertwine.

Soon I’ll be looking for a few willing “guinea pigs” for my case studies as part of the qualification. One of them has to be fibromyalgia — a condition that sits very close to my heart, as my twin sister lives with it every day. Supporting people with chronic pain and nervous system overwhelm is a huge part of why I chose this path.

So today is all about learning, absorbing, and preparing to bring this work into the world in a way that truly helps.

📚✨ If you’re curious about Limbic Reflexology or think you might like to be a case study when the time comes, keep an eye out — I’ll be sharing more soon.

Happy Sunday, whatever you’re up to. May it nourish you in the way you need today.

This definitely represents my day today! My inner child had fun at my ice skating lesson and then I had an afternoon of love, laughter, coffee, homemade cake, tarot readings and a reiki share with my beautiful sister Maria Theasby and friend Leanne Richardson. Sometimes we just need to stop and chill - yes even me who’s always on the go!! 😂😊

Weekends are a time to unplug, unwind, and indulge in self-care
