✨ Eyelash Enhancement ✨

A subtle, smudge and cry-proof treatment that adds fullness and definition to your eyes.

This was my lovely client’s first appointment and her very first foray into permanent makeup and she sat like an absolute pro! I cannot wait to see how these heal. 🖤

Consultations are free of charge. DM to book.

I’m slowly winding down the retail side of The Professional Widow.

This last year has made me realise it just doesn’t spark the same joy it once did. I've got things going on that I'm currently working through, along with future plans that are slowly taking shape and in honesty I just dont have the time, space or energy to keep this side of the business going.

If there’s something you’ve had your eye on, now’s the time to grab it. Be a doll and please order directly through the website rather than messaging me, this just keeps me organised (and stops me from forgetting).

🎃 Use code HALLOWEEN at checkout for 30% off while stocks last.

If you’re a local trader and would like to purchase items at wholesale cost, please DM me (via IG if poss as I check that more often). I’ll be happy to discuss this directly.

Also feel free to share this far and wide. 😊

Thank you for all the love and support. 🥰

Where It All Began…

The Widow turns 5 years old next month and honestly, when I look back at how much has changed in that time, I’m floored.

TPW started off as my lockdown project and all my stock crammed into this very trunk in my bedroom. Crazy when I compare it to The Portal these days.

In the last half a decade I’ve become a qualified Beauty and Holistic therapist, a Reiki Master and there’s still more to come. I just bloody love learning and I dont see that ever stopping.

I really feel that I’ve found my ikigai. I’m more confident, skilled, happy, and grateful than I’ve ever been… all because past-me said: “Ahh, f**k it – what’s the worst that could happen?”.

Along the way, I’ve met so many lush people too. Clients, customers, market organisers, online pals. I literally love you all git loads. 💜

🎉 So to celebrate The Widow’s 5th birthday:

👉 25% off EVERYTHING online until 08 September – the biggest discount I’ve ever offered! Just use code: BIRTHDAY at checkout. I’m trying my best to shove as much new stock online as and when I can so keep checking every now and then.

🍕+🍺 I’m also having a little birthday hangout on 06 September – if you fancy joining, drop me a DM and I’ll send you the deets.

Oh… and keep your eyes peeled 👀 for a massive giveaway coming in the next few days. I’m going all out this year. Cheers! 🤟🏻

🍞 It’s nearlly time for one of my favourite Pagan festivals.

🍞Lughnasadh or Lammas is typically celebrated at the beginning of August, and for me involves pretty much everything carbs and gratitude. 🍞🍺🙏🏻

🍞Speaking of gratitude, I’m really feeling it lately and I’d like to pass this on, therefore, am offering 15% off all items on the website this week. This special offer will end at midnight on Sunday.

🍞Use the code LAMMAS at checkout. As always, local delivery and studio pickups are available to help reduce shipping costs.

🌈🌈🌈

🌈It finally happened, I’m an official Reiki Master. 🥹🥳

🌈My Reiki journey originally started during lockdown when I was a depressed hot mess, I was attuned to Level 1 in 2022 and Level 2 in 2023 which is when I started holding appointments with you lot.

🌈In honesty I never planned on becoming a Reiki Master. I was quite happy in my lane, doing my own thing but this year I’ve felt a huge push to go for it and here we are. It just seemed that life was far too hectic to commit my full attention to the preparation needed. Im actually grateful as it’s made me realise that I need to slow down and stop trying to do everything at once.

🌈As a thank you to my clients who have had Reiki treatments with me in the past and to celebrate this pretty huge milestone, I’m offering 10% off all Reiki sessions until the end of September. No code needed, just book via the normal means or send me a DM. :)

🌈Booking link is here: https://www.fresha.com/a/the-professional-widow-sunderland-unit-18-the-eagle-building-jhq34y9b/booking?menu=true&pId=733849&dppub=true&employeeId=2030033

🌈Thank you to everyone who’s ever booked a session with me in the past. You’ve helped me accomplish this and I’m beyond grateful. 🙏🏻😘

🧿 Hello. This is me, Lol.

🧿 I've been running The Professional Widow for nearly 5 years (crazy). It started with selling crystals from a trunk in my bedroom to now running an appointment-only studio in Sunderland, where not only can you browse and purchase said crystals, ritual aids and esoteric tomes, but also take time for yourself with a treatment.

🧿 I've been a holistic and beauty therapist for over 3 years now, with facials being what I’m probably best known for. I love making people feel amazing, and I consider my purpose on the planet as a healer. I'm constantly learning new modalities so my treatments always improve and evolve.

🧿 My Fresha page lists all the treatments I offer, but these can all be customised to create your very own ritual. Need to let go of anything? I’ve got a studio cauldron and a lighter. We can burn that s**t. Want to welcome in abundance? I’ve got bay leaves and cinnamon. Want a quick aura or smoke cleanse whilst your brow tint or face mask is developing? Again, doable. Send me a DM and we can discuss your goals and go from there. I'm here to help.

🧿 Book Here: https://www.fresha.com/a/the-professional-widow-sunderland-unit-18-the-eagle-building-jhq34y9b/booking?menu=true&pId=733849&dppub=true&employeeId=2030033

🧿 Have a class weekend!

Earlier this year, I went along to a Seed Talk at Dance City in Newcastle: The History of Witchcraft and Feminism with Dr Sharon Jagger. It was inspiring and genuinely thought-provoking and I left with a reading list as long as my arm (I’ve posted it below in case you're interested. I also bumped into Hayley from Rituals Revived…...
