From gull rescue to hyperbaric healing… my wellbeing working-lifestyle this past week!

When we reconnect into nature and nurture the self, wellbeing naturally ripples outward…

To quote a brilliant post by Jimmy Cross ():
“Wellbeing starts with family, grows through schools, and strengthens communities.”

I couldn’t agree more and I’d add this: before we can empower others’ wellbeing, we must first reconnect deeply with the self, and with the divine Oneness within and around us. When we immerse ourselves in nature with reverence, humility and compassion, we re-centre. From there, wellbeing ripples outward.

This past week, I’ve been:
• Exploring innovative approaches to health at AIM Health in Hoylake
• Connecting with ethical skincare brands like and
• Meeting inspiring changemakers and fellow wellbeing warriors at Happy Festival
• Most unexpectedly nursing a feathered friend, ‘Gully’ the fledgling gull (it’s doing well, and fingers crossed its legs strengthen soon so it can fly free again)
* Nurturing my own body and spirit (yes, managed a little woodland hot tub time , taking Gully on the trip!)

As a practitioner passionate about wellbeing, I strive to live by my motto: ‘Wellbeing Is In Your Hands.’

Again, I echo Jim’s comment that wellbeing is a journey, not a destination- and I’m constantly learning, reviewing, and renewing my own practices.

For this weeks inspiration, huge thanks to:
💚 Jimmy Cross (and well done on your community wellbeing award!)
💚 Louise at
💚 Victoria and the team at
💚 Paul, Cathy & Tracy at AIM Health, Hoylake

👉 Tagging these brilliant people & places — give them a follow for more inspiration!

Together we share the belief that, given the right conditions, the body and mind holds incredible power to heal and thrive.

Last week I had the privilege of spending a day learning from The Two Barbaras — Barbara O’Neill and Barbara Wilkinson (Chair, The Herb Society). Their teaching reinforced and expanded the plant-based wisdom I’ve recently shared on rosemary and sage — herbs I wrote about during exam season that are equally powerful for lifelong brain health and elder wellbeing.

A few key takeaways I’m excited to share:
• Sage & rosemary were traditionally paired with rich meats not only for flavour, but because they help the body process lipids more effectively — supporting healthy blood-lipid balance and helping beneficial fats reach the brain instead of building up in vessels. Modern trials and phytochemical reviews support these lipid-modulating and antioxidant actions¹.
• Purple herbs such as sage, betony and rosemary contain anthocyanins and other polyphenols that have been shown to improve blood lipid profiles (lower TG/LDL, raise HDL) and offer neuroprotective antioxidant effects².
• Why it matters: the brain is lipid-dense — roughly 50–60% fat by dry weight (myelin is particularly lipid-rich). Those good fats are essential for myelin, memory and mood — so getting the right fats and the plants that help process them matters³.
• Betony (Stachys / wood betony): a long-used nervine in European herbalism — calming the nervous system, easing headaches and supporting emotional balance — a wonderful purple ally for elders’ nervous system support⁴.

As it says in Scripture: “The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them.” — Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 38:4.

At Wirral Therapy Services I integrate this plant wisdom into my Talk > Train > Trust > Touch™ Transformation Therapy framework — blending open conversation, practical self-care training such as movement, nutrition and mindset, developing faith, and therapeutic touch.

Because ultimately, Wellbeing Is In Your Hands — with Father God and Mother Nature’s help.

A heartfelt thank-you to Barbara O’Neill and Barbara Wilkinson for their wisdom — I’m now a member of The Herb Society and even more committed to exploring and sharing about natural wellbeing support with my clients and community- especially our elders. Thanks to Elisabeth of Truth Matters for organising the event!

Your Mum. Your Nan.
You can’t always be there.

When you aren’t around, is their wellbeing overlooked?

Are our Elders* just getting the basics to keep them going?

Thursdays are Elders Day here at Wirral Therapy Services- a dedicated time for flexible, holistic wellbeing support that goes beyond being washed, dressed and fed.

Wellbeing packages are tailored to your loved one’s wider needs and go beyond the basics.

From foot and leg care, to massage, mindfulness and healthy eating plans, I offer unrushed emotional companionship integrated with gentle physical connection and lifestyle recommendations that can actually enhance older people’s health, not just manage their decline- restoring joy into their week!

I currently have a few regular appointment slots available at the Elders Discount price.

I have a real soft spot for our Elders. If you think your loved one has been missing out on human connection and would benefit from some special heart-centred TLC, I’d be delighted to discuss their needs and create a bespoke, reliable, personal support plan.

Simply reach out to me by leaving a voicemail or text and we can arrange a discovery call to craft a personalised wellbeing support package and get the first session booked in!

Mens Wellbeing Testimonials...

Feedback from some of the guys that visit me at WTS...

Many of my clients are actually men, but mens health and wellbeing is still not commonly talked about with concerns over the 'wrong kind of massage parlour', mens reluctance to deeply consider their health issues and sense that self-care is not 'manly'... let's change that...

Have a listen to what some of my male customers say, and check out the full testimonials here:

This week, I’ve felt scattered. Unsettled. The kind of emotional week where you’re pulled in many directions, disconnected from your centre, from peace.
So I chose solitude- time alone to self-soothe and reset, calming the nervous system by tuning into my sensory experience of the moment…
In just a few minutes I was able to return to the senses… return to myself… return to peace… even giggling as rain began to patter down.
I picked fresh chamomile, lavender, and lemon balm from the courtyard — each plant a quiet healer in its own way.
🌼 Chamomile: Anti-inflammatory, gently sedating
🌿 Lavender: Calming, balancing, easing the edges
🍋 Melissa: Naturally uplifts and relieves anxiety (yes, science says so too)
I brewed a calming herbal infusion adding Relax by Pukka to some of the herbs.
I sat and gently rocked, feeling the breeze and hearing the leaves rustle- the symphony of now. I touched each flower, felt its texture, crushed it gently between my palms and inhaled… breathing in the scent. Sipped the tea.
Coming home to the moment, I dropped into stillness. Presence with peacefulness. God connection if you will.
🍋 Melissa (lemon balm) is even scientifically shown to ease anxiety and gently lift mood — one reason I often turn to it during unsettled times.
(PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18693101/)
It doesn’t take long. Just use the senses.
Sit. Sip. Breathe. Listen. Taste. Touch. Be.
And maybe even brush against that 6th sense — stillness, God, creative love.

Behind the Scenes at Priory Cottage 🌞

Before hands-on healing begins… nature tends to me.
From nurturing rescued oak saplings to growing my own food from scratch, these tiny moments ground me in simplicity, purpose, and peace.

☀️ Recharged by sun, soil, and seedlings – I return to the therapy room refreshed and ready.

Whether it’s massage, reflexology or a gentle chat – this is all part of the same vision:
A slower, soul-filled way of living.

Wirral Therapy is a Sanctuary for Support — to build Strength, Stoicism, Stability of Spirit and Suppleness of Spine.

It’s not a beauty salon for ladies-only pampering.

At Wirral Therapy Services, I offer a safe, professional space where men too are truly heard and supported — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Around 1 in 4 of my clients are male, and most come via word-of-mouth: wives, friends, family members, or colleagues who’ve experienced the work first-hand and trust it enough to recommend.

I’ve worked with men from all walks of life — from weekend athletes and adrenaline junkies to gardeners and high-pressure professionals — to:

• Recover from injury (back pain, frozen shoulder, sports trauma)
• Return to work after stress, anxiety or burnout
• Regain strength and mobility
• Feel safe enough to open up, reset, and re-centre

Whether it’s a one-off reset or part of a bigger wellbeing overhaul, I tailor each session through my Talk > Train > Trust > Touch™ method:

🗣 Talk – Exploring emotional and lifestyle patterns keeping the body in pain
🧠 Train – Reframing mindsets and gently retraining movement and breath
🤝 Trust – Co-creating treatment with compassionate care and spiritual faith
👐 Touch – Using targeted hands-on therapy for deep release and restoration

Clients come to decompress, clear long-held tension, and reconnect with their wellbeing.

If you — or a man in your life — is tired of quick fixes and ready for genuine healing, I’m here to help.

📲 Text or leave a voicemail on 0759 187 8801 to book.

Practising being on screen again- Talking about the importance of off-screen time!!

If you’re seeing this I’m back after what I plan to have been a full digital switch-off and a week soaking up the sun, sea air and sacred family time.

This post has been pre-prepared and pre-scheduled and as a wellbeing therapist sharing on social media, the irony is that one of my top wellbeing tips is to spend less time online, so one of the things I’m thankful for is that pre-scheduled posts meant I can stay digitally present for you, while being truly physically absent!

I asked in my last post how long YOU can go without your phone.

I wonder, when you are having family time, are you truly in the moment, seeing your children through your own eyes and committing the moments to memory, or desperately taking photos and seeing them through a lens, worried that if you don’t capture it in camera you will forget the special moments? Are you addicted to screentime as much as your children? How easy do you find it to check out of the digital world and tune into the frequency of simple joyful stillness of nature?

AND DOES IT MATTER? Let me know!

📞 I’m now open for bookings again and here to support your own seasonal rebalancing — physically, emotionally, energetically.

It’s all about igniting the sacral orange flame of creativity and opening the throat chakra🌼🍊
