Therapeutic Deep Tissue, Aromatherapy Massage & Reflexology treatments 💫
08/10/2025
I’ve always loved therapies that work quietly but deeply, the ones that calm the whole system without you even realising how much you needed it 😌
Acupuncture is one of those ✨
These teeny tiny needles send signals through the nervous system that release natural pain-relieving endorphins, ease tension and help the body drop into a state of calm 🙏
On an energetic level, we’re regulating and balancing Qi within the body. It’s like inviting flow back into the places that have been holding on - a gentle reminder that your body already knows how to heal, sometimes it just needs a little nudge 💫
Now available as an add-on to massage - a beautiful way to deepen your treatment and invite even more calm. Link in bio to book 💌

Anyone who knows me knows I love to find the joy (or at the very least humour 😁) in pretty much everything – it’s kind of my default setting ✨
But what I’ve learned is that you can’t really “seek” joy, it’s something that’s always there, waiting patiently and we’re either (unconsciously) blocking the flow of it, or we’re not. When we’re in pain or caught up in stress we understandably really struggle to notice the little joys 😅 but the secret isn’t to ignore the discomfort, it’s to lean into it.
The real magic happens when we slow it down, we give ourselves permission to process, to breathe. At first it can feel like we’re stepping back from life, but actually it’s the opposite – we’re creating the space we need to feel whole again. Space is where healing begins 🤗
I took 18 months of space from social media whilst navigating some life stuff and it was great. And now I have capacity to welcome it in again and that’s the beautiful thing: the quicker we honour that part of us that needs stillness and recovery without questioning it, the quicker we find our way back to the things that truly light us up 😍
That’s the intention in this treatment space. You come in, slow down and meet yourself again. Allowing that ni**le in your shoulder, that tightness in the neck or that feeling of overwhelm to truly dissipate so you can get back out there in your life allowing alllll the joy in again 🙌🥰 that’s my wish for you ✨

I had a little wobble the other day 💭 and when I reflected on it, I realised I’d let one of my anchors slip… my journalling 💌
Do you journal? I only started a couple of years ago, a friend bought me a beautiful journal during my divorce and it was so so helpful to connect to myself. Journalling each day grounds me, helps me process, and supports me in showing up as my best self 😌 when I’m consistent, I definitely feel the difference 💫
It’s the same with our bodies. A one-off massage feels amazing, but true transformation happens with consistency. Regular treatments help to
✨ Release built-up tension before it becomes pain
✨ Support your nervous system to reset and regulate
✨ Create space for emotional release and clarity
✨ Keep you connected to your body, not just your busy mind
Repetition is where the magic is - in the small, repeated acts of care that build resilience over time 💫 link in bio to book 😊💌

Simplicity is underrated 💫 we often go searching for big solutions when the most powerful forms of self care are already within reach 🎉
✨ A deep, conscious breath 🌬️
✨ A kind word to ourselves 🤍 (𝘵𝘩𝘦 most important one but hey that’s a discussion for another day ☺️)
✨ A moment of stillness 💆🏽♀️
It doesn’t always need to be complicated, simplicity is medicine. The small things, repeated, are what bring us back home to ourselves 😌🌱💫

✨ Back when I was working as a social worker, I found massage out of desperation — I was burnt out, tense, and carrying far too much. What I didn’t realise at the time was that it wouldn’t just help me cope… it would save me 🍃
Massage gave me a place to breathe, to soften, to come back to myself 💫 It was the anchor that kept me moving forward whilst I decided what was next. I couldn’t have guessed that what was next was becoming a therapist myself! I followed my intuition, having no clue whether I’d enjoy the giving as much as the receiving and oh wow when I realised I did 🤗
That experience all those years ago is why I’m so passionate about the power of touch and presence for you now. Because sometimes, it’s not just “a treatment” — it’s the very thing that keeps us going. 💛 link in bio to book 💌

Come exactly as you are 😍✨
Heard the word sorry a few times in here this week…sorry for needing the loo before your appointment, sorry for letting out some tears when you feel sad, sorry for snoring when your body just allows itself to finally rest 😌
NONE of this is a problem so no apology necessary! Let’s all try not to apologise for just being human (I do it too of course 😆) ❤️ hope you already know but just in case, please come exactly as you are - ALL versions of you are always very welcome here 😘

Deep breaths. Slow massage 😌✨
01/07/2025
Our minds can run a thousand stories a minute but how often are we taking a pause, a beat, a breath to just slow down and drop back into our bodies? 😌
This is your little nudge to slow down…take a deep breath…let your shoulders soften…listen to what your body is whispering to you. What do you need in this moment? Is it movement, stillness, is it softening, or strength? If you ask, you will always get an answer ✨
*Inspired by the beautiful Sami who helped me drop back into my body during PT this morning and oh my lordy do I feel like a new woman 🙌*

I believe strongly that the fast paced lifestyle in which we live creates an environment for stress related conditions to take hold. Having previously worked as a Social Worker for a number of years, I personally understand how high stress levels can impact on wellbeing having experienced stress related burnout. This is what prompted me to re-train as a Complementary Therapist. I considered that many of my precious moments of true relaxation and peace, were cosied up on a massage couch receiving a treatment, and I just couldn't wait to help other people in the same way!
Taking time for yourself, switching off and allowing yourself the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate can have remarkable benefits to your overall health and wellbeing. Evidence shows that many physical and emotional health conditions are either created or exacerbated by stress. There is nothing that gives me greater joy than knowing my treatment has allowed someone to slow down, relax and let go of the stress and tension they've been carrying with them. I believe that holistic treatments are not a luxury, but rather a stepping stone on the pathway to wellness.
