After starting the week with the 1st two photos, it’s a win ending the week with the 2nd two.

A broken teapot and a dodgy knee were sorted by the power of networking.

New teapot kindly donated by Laura of
And an amazing sport massage from Angel of

Met both of these fabulous women at networking events. Both proving that networking isn’t just about sales but how we can help each other.

After a day at a wellness event and forever looking for balance in life, Saturday was spent with some gorgeous friends exploring some Surrey vineyards tasting English Sparkling Wines.

We have so many beautiful places to visit , we can forget how close some are.

One of the things I’ve always wanted to do with members is road trips.

Yesterday started the new adventures with a trip to a local wellness festival with 2 of my members. We arrived - browsed round the stalls selling clothes, crystals , oils, books, grabbed ourselves some funky smoothies and headed into the main arena. Heading into the main arena we settled down to listen to some talks. Interesting as some we agreed with and some we didn’t, giving us something to discuss during the rest of the day.

We then decided to try out the spa , each booking a treatment and having an hour to ourselves.

Tummy’s then needed nourishment and we had some gorgeous street food and some ice cream. Time then to experience our final workshop - a deep meditation back in the arena, in the middle of the woods, sat on straw bales.

A special afternoon/evening where we all got to spend time outside the treatment room, feeding our souls , outside in a beautiful place.

Need to start thinking about the next trip!

Keeping it simple.

1. consistency - when you pay for a monthly membership, you know you will be able to book in for your treatment every month. Most of my members have already scheduled their treatments all the way through to 2026! They know when they are coming in, can work treatments around holidays and work commitments. They also know these prebooked treatments can be moved when life happens. (T&C's apply)

2. you prioritise you - it's that classic problem, you need treatments when you are stressed, but when you are stressed and overwhelmed its hard to prioritise you. Scheduling and planning ahead takes some of the stress away, and ensures you always know you have some rest and recovery time in the diary.

3. value for money - discounted treatments, offers, member specials without compromising on service and quality of treatments.

4. builds your therapist relationship - I get to know you! By understanding your challenges I can adapt treatments to suit you, creating a bespoke service that works.

5. investment for your life longevity - regular treatments are great for your mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. Investing now in your wellbeing, is investing in your resilience, energy and confidence.

Love this post, a great explanation about dry brushing and its benefits.

I have brushes for sale in the treatment room. Pick yours up next time you come in 🤗

🌸 THE DRY BRUSHING GUIDE 🌸

Support your lymph. Stimulate your skin. Awaken your body’s natural flow.

💫 WHY DRY BRUSHING WORKS:

Dry brushing is a centuries-old practice that gently stimulates:
• 💧 Lymphatic flow – helps move stagnant lymph and reduce puffiness
• 🌬️ Skin detoxification – removes dead skin cells for softer skin
• 🔥 Circulation – brings fresh blood flow to the surface
• 🧘‍♀️ Nervous system calming – the light pressure soothes the vagus nerve
• 🌿 Cell renewal & glow – promotes natural skin regeneration

Dry brushing doesn’t go deep — it works just beneath the skin, where most of your lymphatic system lives!

⏰ WHEN TO DRY BRUSH:
• Best time: First thing in the morning before your shower — it energizes and wakes the body.
• Optional: Before an infrared sauna or lymph massage for better drainage.

🚫 Avoid if you have a fever, sunburn, inflamed skin, open wounds, or active infection.

🗓️ HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DRY BRUSH?
• ⭐️ Beginners: 2–3x per week
• 🌿 Advanced detoxers: Daily (5–7x/week)
• 💧 Always follow with hydration – internal (water) and external (natural oils or body lotion)

💕 STEP-BY-STEP: DRY BRUSHING THE LYMPHATIC WAY

1️⃣ Pick Your Brush

Choose a natural-bristle brush (with or without a handle). Bristles should feel firm but not scratchy.

2️⃣ Start at the Heart’s Drain

🫶 Begin at the collarbones and neck (where lymph drains into the bloodstream).
Use very light pressure and short downward strokes.

3️⃣ Brush the Arms

🌀 Start at the fingertips, brush upward toward the armpits.
Brush in long, straight strokes.
• Do 5–10 strokes per section.
• Don’t forget the armpit area (axillary nodes)!

4️⃣ Brush the Legs

🦵 Start at the toes, work upward toward the groin (inguinal nodes).
• Use long, sweeping upward strokes
• Spend extra time behind the knees

5️⃣ Belly Time

🍋 Use circular, clockwise motions around the navel (this follows your colon path).
Then gently sweep up toward the heart.

6️⃣ Back & Glutes

If you can reach — brush from lower back upward toward shoulders.
From glutes upward toward lymph in the hip creases.

7️⃣ Finish with Gratitude

🙏 Say a gentle intention:

“I am clearing what no longer serves me.”
Then shower to rinse off loosened skin cells and follow with a nourishing oil.

💧 BONUS TIPS:
• Drink a full glass of water with lemon after brushing 🍋
• Combine with deep breathing or gentle stretching
• Store your brush in a dry, clean place

A little message for you next time you come in to Radiance.

Early but fascinating study on head/neck massage and potential benefits of slowing brain aging and protection against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

As I say, it’s early research but could be hugely significant!

The glymphatic system flushes out waste products from the brain – now scientists have found a way to boost it in mice, which could open treatment possibilities for neurodegenerative diseases

Too many times people think of massage as a luxury.😟

Not so long ago, having a mobile phone would have been considered a luxury (and still is by many around the world) but for most people today it is considered a necessity.

Think a little further back and we didnt have the household tools that make our life easier today - washing machines, vaccums. But today we struggle to live without them. Our life is easier and more efficient with them.

We can live without all of these and could still function, but work and home life would be so much harder.

But when it comes to our health and wellbeing, massage is still often considered as a luxury - because we can function without considering it! Or can we?

These simple stats show the benefits of treatments and with the demands on you in work/home it is in your hands to make change. (Or rather in my hands !)

Take control of the stresses you endure and let me help you reeduce stress, increase your good mood and help create a better balance in life.

All in a day.

1. Stones warmed for a hot stone reflexology treatment
2. The yellow hue of sunflower oil being used in a few treatments today
3. The sound of the end of a treatment
4. A blend used for a client today
5. Another treatment, this time regular reflexology. The tub is for the warm towels after use, the blue bottle a spray to freshen the feet and a soothing lotion
6. The final set up for a massage client this evening

All in a day. 2 non members, 2 members treatments. One a birthday gift, one returning client, one a busy mum who works on her feet all day, one man who comes for treatments to ease body stress and strains.

What links them all - the desire and need to relax, feel better about themselves, look after themselves.

Holistic therapies available from Radiance in Theale, Berkshire.
