As self-employed people we can sometimes forget to include self-care as part of our business plan.

So today I encourage you to pick one of the following:

Step away from your to-do list and sit in a quiet place and listen to a meditation.

Remember to hydrate regularly throughout the day

Celebrate the small wins, each is a step towards your goals.

Make space in your diary for regular connections with people who inspire you.

Take time to reflect on why you started your business and check that this aligns with your personal aspirations.



Let me know what you are up today

Menopause seen as a taboo subject and something that was brushed under the carpet by many people.

Now this has been brought to the forefront and many more people are talking about it and challenging the way people are being treated and getting behind menopause being openly talked about in society today.

Menopause and perimenopause symptoms can have a big impact on your daily life, including relationships, social life, family life and work.

It can feel different for everyone. You may have a number of symptoms or none.

Symptoms usually start months or years before your periods stop. This is called perimenopause.

Two ladies that I know who have been working hard on menopause are @‌mairitaylor and @‌alineboblin who are both ladies with who I would seek support and help.

Don't suffer in silence, seek support and gain help.

Why do massages use different pressures?

Light pressure is used for those seeking a calming, stress relieving experience and individuals with chronic pain, such as those with fibromyalgia.

Medium pressure is used to relieve moderate muscle tension and is perfect for individuals who need to target a specific problem area but still want to feel relaxed.

Deep pressure is used in deep tissue massages and is focused on reaching the innermost layers of muscle and connective tissue, it is perfect for those recovering from injury or anyone wanting to improve mobility or reduce severe knots.

All we need is love - The famous line from the Beatles song.

But what does love mean?
Love can have a totally different meeting for each and every one of us and should never really be ruled by a definition.

Love for me is having the warmth of my family circle around me and knowing that the feelings are reciprocated.

Love can vary in intensity and can change over time. It is associated with a range of positive emotions, including happiness, excitement, life satisfaction, and euphoria.

What and how do you define love?

Knots can occur anywhere in the body. They are most common in muscles of the neck and shoulders, between the shoulder blades, hip or gluteal muscles, hamstrings or calves.

Knots can also occur due to overuse of the muscles, for example when we run. The muscles when pulled can have trauma and this is what can cause tightness, knots or muscle soreness.

Muscle knots can be painful and uncomfortable and massage therapy can help to relieve some of the soreness and tightness. Sports Massage or Deep tissue massage allows the therapist to work on the muscle and help release the knot or be able to come up with a course of treatment that will allow for the knots to be prevented.

If you feel that this is something you need then why not get in touch and discuss it further.

How many times do you look at social media and see the words Self Care?

What does it bring to mind for you?

A bath, a walk, a run, some time to yourself.

Well, self-care can be anything you want it to be. Don’t feel that you must follow the crowds and don’t think that self-care is a new concept. It is purely a way of looking after yourself in the best way possible.

What does Joy mean to you?

For many, this question will have different answers and different meanings. This doesn't mean that this is wrong. Each and every one of us feels joy in different ways.

Joy can be defined in two different ways:-
On an emotional level, we may feel joy in a variety of ways — tearfully, euphoric, with a deep sense of contentment.

On a scientific level, we feel joy in our neurotransmitters, which are tiny chemical “messenger” cells that transmit signals between neurons (nerves) and other bodily cells.

There are many benefits from feeling joy
🫶promotes a healthier lifestyle
🫶boosts immune system
🫶fights stress and pain
🫶supports longevity

Tell me how you feel joy?
