"Improved sleep" is a side effect I'm hearing a lot after Reflexology sessions lately! 😴💖

And honestly, it makes my heart sing! Knowing I'm helping you on such a fundamental level – getting better sleep – is incredibly rewarding. We all know how vital a good night's rest is for everything from mood to energy.

If you're tossing and turning, why not explore how Reflexology could help you reclaim your precious sleep?

𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞? 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟!

I'm Lysette!

As a mum of two fantastic little ones, I know firsthand how challenging it is to find a moment to yourself. That's why I created The Escape Pod—a space where parents can take some much-needed time to reset and recharge.

But parents aren't the only ones who need a little TLC!

I've since recognised that my work can help others in a big way too:

𝐓𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬: They produce incredible art but endure serious physical strain from holding positions for long periods. I want to help relieve that tension.

𝐓𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: Being tattooed releases stress hormones and can be physically painful, which sometimes creates a negative memory. My goal is to help you have a positive memory attached to your awesome art, not a negative one.

Whether you're a parent needing a break, an artist needing relief, or a client on a healing journey, I'm here to help.

Is it too soon to start talking about Christmas? 🤔🎄🎁🥳

This client came to me with severe lower back pain and upper back discomforts. Over the course of 4 sessions, we have worked through the lower back pain and are now focusing more on their upper back. Recently they have been feeling bloated and so in their last treatment wanted an abdominal massage included.

Each treatment I provide is tailored to your specific needs. If you need something slightly different on the day, just ask 💖

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐓𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐨
A client asked me for my best tattoo prep tips today, and it's a fantastic question!

Getting new ink is a marathon for your body, and a little prep can go a long way in making the process smoother and your healing faster.

My top recommendations are:

𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment.

𝐌𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐧. Keep the area well-moisturised to ensure your skin is healthy and ready to be worked on.

𝐍𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲. Get plenty of rest and eat well. Giving your body the fuel it needs puts it in the best position to heal.

To be fair, these are good tips for day to day but are even more important to pay attention to if you have a big event coming up that's going to test you.

So what are your go-to tips for tattoo prep? Share them in the comments!

Got a new tattoo and want a relaxing treatment but don't want to ruin your new ink?

You're not alone! A new tattoo can leave you with residual tension and stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol trapped in your body with nowhere to go.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐲𝐦 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
- 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐚: It's a definite no-go for at least the first 4 months while the deeper layers of your skin heal.

- 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬: Going to the gym isn't an option either, as you risk irritating the skin with sweat and friction.

This is where 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐤𝐢 and 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 are perfect alternatives! Both of these fantastic treatments can help disperse that trapped tension and hormones, allowing you to relax and help your body continue to heal.

Which you choose is completely up to you! Send me a message for more information or book your treatment now.

𝐌𝐲 𝐆𝐨-𝐓𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐢𝐥: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐧

I'm often asked about my favorite products, and this carrier oil is by far one of the best. I'll even be using it as my massage oil this weekend in Cornwall! WOOP!

It’s a top-notch product that works for nearly everyone, and here's why:

✨ 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 & 𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲: It’s suitable for most skin types and absorbs quickly, so it won't leave that heavy, greasy feel on your skin.

✨ 𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐜: Unlike raw coconut oil, this oil won't clog your pores, allowing your skin to breathe after application.

✨ 𝐒𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬: If you're sensitive to smells, this oil is a fantastic choice. Plus, it won't interfere with the scent of any essential oils you blend with it.

✨ 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: This oil is packed with powerful properties to help your body heal and protect itself:

- Antioxidants and good fatty acids
- Anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties
- Great levels of Vitamin E and K

This combination helps nourish your skin and protect it from daily challenges.

A quick reminder: if you've had a new tattoo in the past 4 months, I will not be able to massage directly over that area. However, a treatment can still be designed for you, so have no fear—you won't miss out! 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

Gorged yourself full of convention food? 😋 Have no fear! ✨

Ease your gut and help it process all that gorgeous festival food with a quick 15-minute abdominal massage 💆‍♀️. This gentle treatment can also be a wonderful way to help ease the symptoms of IBS bloating. 💖

💡 Top Tip: Always wait at least an hour after a meal before having a massage (2 hours for a particularly heavy meal) to get the best results.

Take a look at the "Before & After" photo to see the results for yourself 📸—visibly less bloated and much happier! 😊
