Another new treatment available for November.
Natural lift facial massage.

What Is the Natural Lift Facial Massage?
The Natural Lift Facial Massage is a deeply relaxing, rejuvenating technique that blends Japanese facial massage, Ayurvedic lymphatic drainage, and acupressure to deliver a radiant, lifted appearance—completely naturally.

Using only the hands, this treatment works on the muscles, fascia, and lymphatic system of the face. It relieves tension, boosts blood flow, and helps drain stagnant fluids that can cause puffiness or dullness.

💫 Top Benefits of the Natural Lift Facial Massage

1. Lifts and Tones the Face (Naturally!): This massage acts like a “workout” for your face. It stimulates and tones the underlying muscles, softens fine lines, and creates a lifted, sculpted appearance over time—making it a true natural alternative to Botox or fillers.

2. Promotes Glowing, Oxygenated Skin: By increasing circulation, this technique delivers fresh oxygen and nutrients to skin cells, leaving your complexion instantly brighter and more radiant.

3. Reduces Puffiness and Water Retention: The gentle lymphatic drainage techniques used in this massage help flush out toxins, reduce fluid buildup, and de-puff areas like the eyes, jawline, and cheeks.

4. Relieves Tension in the Jaw and Forehead: Tension in facial muscles can lead to premature aging and wrinkles. This treatment melts away tightness in the jaw, temples, and brow—offering a more relaxed, youthful look.

5. Supports Long-Term Skin Health: Regular sessions can improve elasticity, reduce congestion, and promote a naturally healthy glow—without harsh chemicals or downtime.

🔍 Why It’s Going Viral: The Rise of Natural Beauty Rituals
With a growing movement toward non-toxic skincare and holistic anti-aging, more people are choosing treatments that work with the body, not against it. Search terms like natural facelift massage, sculpting facial, and glowing skin without Botox are exploding online—and for good reason.

The Natural Lift Facial Massage taps into this desire for authentic, sustainable beauty—offering visible results while nurturing your overall well-being.

I've been a little bit under the weather for the last 3 weeks,but with the right antibiotics I'm back on my feet. Here's a little update on some new treatments that will go live from 1st November.
I have a new 90 minute treatment that will be available. Manual Lymphatic massage followed by a targeted areas with cavitation machine. One target area per treatment.

40k slimming machine, which utilises ultrasonic cavitation and radio frequency (RF), can aid in lymphatic drainage by helping to dissolve fat cells, promoting metabolism, and enhancing overall circulation. The cavitation process breaks down fat into a liquid, which is then processed and eliminated by the body's natural lymphatic system and liver. RF technology also stimulates blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, contributing to the removal of toxins and fat from the body.

How it Works
Ultrasonic Cavitation: The 40K cavitation head uses low-frequency ultrasound waves to create micro-bubbles in the fat cells, causing them to implode.

Fat Liquefaction: The implosion of these bubbles turns the fat cells into liquid, a process called liquefaction.

Lymphatic System Processing: This liquefied fat (fatty acids) is then naturally processed by the body's lymphatic system and transported to the liver to be metabolised and eliminated.

RF for Circulation: Radiofrequency (RF) energy from other heads in the device helps to boost blood circulation and further enhance the metabolic process and lymphatic drainage, aiding in the removal of waste and toxins.

Benefits for Lymphatic Drainage
Breaks down fat cells: The primary action of the 40K machine is to break down stubborn fat cells, making them available for the lymphatic system to remove.

Stimulates circulation: Both cavitation and RF treatments improve blood circulation, which is crucial for efficient lymphatic drainage.

Promotes metabolism: By increasing circulation and breaking down fat, these treatments help accelerate the body's metabolic processes, aiding in waste removal.

Body Reshaping: The combined effects lead to body contouring, cellulite reduction, and a reduction in swelling, as the body flushes out liquefied fat and toxins.
90 minute treatments will be available for £60.
If you want a shorter treatment I will also offer a 30 minute treatment where I will wake up the lymphatic system then use the cavitation machine on one targeted area for £25.

Don't forget if you book a full body lymphatic massage during October,you get a free sample of Tropic oil to take home. One hour session £45.

🌿 Legs Up the Wall: A Simple Pose with Powerful Benefits for Your Lymphatic System

When it comes to supporting lymphatic health, sometimes the most effective tools are also the simplest. One of these is the restorative yoga posture known as Legs Up the Wall Pose (Viparita Karani). This gentle inversion is accessible to most people and offers profound benefits for both circulation and relaxation.

💧 How It Helps the Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system relies on muscle movement, breath, and gravity to keep fluids circulating. When you elevate your legs, gravity naturally assists in:
• Reducing fluid build-up in the lower limbs (helpful for swollen ankles, heavy legs, or long hours of standing).
• Encouraging lymph and venous return toward the heart.
• Relieving pressure from overworked lymph nodes in the groin and lower body.

This makes it an excellent self-care tool for those managing inflammation, lymphatic congestion, or simply seeking a way to “reset” the body.

🌀 Other Benefits of Legs Up the Wall Pose
• Boosts circulation: Enhances both blood and lymph flow.
• Supports digestion: Gentle abdominal decompression can aid gut motility.
• Slows heart rate: Helps balance the cardiovascular system.
• Calms the nervous system: Promotes parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) activity.
• Relaxes the mind: A mindful pause that eases stress and tension.

🌸 How to Practice Safely
1. Sit sideways against a wall, then gently swing your legs up as you lie back.
2. Place a small cushion or folded blanket under your hips for comfort.
3. Extend arms out by your sides or overhead to open the chest.
4. Breathe deeply, letting your belly rise and fall.
5. Stay for 5–15 minutes or as long as feels comfortable.

👉 Avoid if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure, acute eye conditions (like glaucoma), or recent leg injuries unless cleared by your healthcare provider.

✨ Final Thoughts

Simple yet powerful, Legs Up the Wall is more than just a stretch — it’s a therapeutic posture that assists lymph flow, calms the body, and restores balance. Adding this into your daily routine is an easy way to support both physical and emotional well-being.

Your Lymphatic system is one of the most important yet overlooked parts of our body. It's responsible for maintaining fluid balance, removing toxins, and supporting your immune system. Despite its crucial role, many of us rarely think about our lymphatic health until something goes wrong. The good news? Keeping your lymphatic system healthy is simpler than you might think. Here are some practical tips to help you support this essential system in your everyday life.
1. Stay Hydrated
Your lymphatic system relies on an adequate supply of fluid to function properly. Dehydration can slow down the flow of lymph, making it harder for your body to eliminate waste and toxins. Aim to drink plenty of water throughout the day. A good rule of thumb is to consume at least 8-10 cups daily, or more if you're physically active or live in a hot climate. Herbal teas and water-rich foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and celery can also contribute to your hydration.

2. Move Your Body
Unlike your circulatory system, which has the heart to pump blood, the lymphatic system doesn’t have a central pump. It relies on muscle movement and body motion to keep lymph flowing. Regular exercise, such as walking, yoga, swimming, or dancing, can help stimulate lymphatic circulation. Even simple actions like stretching or taking frequent breaks from sitting can make a difference.

3. Practice Deep Breathing
Deep breathing isn’t just for relaxation; it also helps your lymphatic system. The diaphragm’s movement during deep breathing acts as a pump, promoting the flow of lymph. Try incorporating deep breathing exercises into your daily routine. A simple technique is the 4-7-8 method: inhale for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 seconds, and exhale slowly for 8 seconds. Repeat this cycle a few times to enhance both relaxation and lymphatic function.

4. Eat a Lymph-Friendly Diet
Your diet plays a significant role in supporting lymphatic health. Focus on whole, unprocessed foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Fruits and vegetables, especially those high in vitamin C (like oranges, strawberries, and bell peppers), can help boost lymphatic function. Incorporate healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and seeds, which support cell health. Avoid excessive salt and processed foods, as they can lead to water retention and hinder lymph flow.

5. Try Dry Brushing
Dry brushing is a simple, at-home technique that can stimulate your lymphatic system. Using a natural bristle body brush, gently stroke your skin in the direction of your heart. Start at your feet and work your way up, using light pressure. This practice not only promotes lymphatic drainage but also exfoliates your skin, leaving it soft and glowing. Aim to dry brush for 5-10 minutes before showering a few times a week.

6. Get a Lymphatic Massage
Professional lymphatic drainage massages are designed to stimulate lymph flow and reduce swelling. If a professional massage isn’t an option, you can try simple self-massage techniques. Focus on areas where lymph nodes are concentrated, such as the neck, underarms, and groin. Use gentle, circular motions and light pressure to encourage lymphatic movement.

7. Reduce Toxin Exposure
Your lymphatic system works hard to eliminate toxins, so minimizing your exposure can lighten its load. Opt for natural cleaning and personal care products when possible. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption, as both can impair lymphatic function. Regularly sweating through exercise or sauna sessions can also help your body eliminate toxins.

8. Manage Stress
Chronic stress can take a toll on your lymphatic system and overall health. Practice stress-reducing activities like meditation, journaling, or spending time in nature. Adequate sleep is also crucial, as your body does much of its repair and detoxification while you’reresting.



Listen to Your Body
Pay attention to signs that your lymphatic system might need extra support, such as persistent swelling, fatigue, or frequent colds. If you notice these symptoms, consult a healthcare professional for advice tailored to your needs.

By incorporating these simple tips into your daily routine, you can keep your lymphatic system functioning optimally and enjoy better overall health. Remember, small changescan makea big difference over time. Start today and give your lymphatic system the care that it deserves.
