✨ WINTER RESTORE MASSAGE ✨

Because your body has carried a lot.

January arrives quietly…..
after the rush, the holding it all together, the pushing through.

For many, this is when the body finally says enough.

Tight shoulders.

Heavy hips.

A nervous system that hasn’t had chance to land.

The Winter Restore Massage is designed for now —
when your body needs recovery, not motivation.

This is not a quick fix.

It’s a deep, intentional reset.

Your session includes…
• 2 hours of deep tissue massage
• Hot stones to soften and warm tired muscles
• Cupping therapy for deep release and circulation
• Focused muscular work where your body needs it most
• Space to fully exhale and let go

Normally £130 when booked separately —
Winter Restore rate: £95

This is for you if….
– your body feels worn down
– stress has settled into your muscles
– you’ve been putting yourself last
– you want to start the year feeling supported, not depleted

January doesn’t ask for more effort.
It asks for restoration.

Gift vouchers are still available —

or book this for yourself and begin the year feeling steadier, lighter, and more at home in your body.

Message me to book or ask any questions 🤍

Much Massage Love

Happy Monday my beauties, embracing those New Moon Vibes ….🌒🌑🌘

This New Moon carries such strong, steady energy…

The kind that reminds us that slow progress is still progress and the work you’ve been doing (even quietly, even imperfectly) is building something real.

Capricorn doesn’t rush. It roots.

It asks us to come back to discipline as devotion… not pressure.

To choose what we’re committing to this year, and to keep showing up for it in a way that feels grounded and sustainable.

So today I’m holding this blessing for you….

May you release the need to force or prove.

May you trust what you’re building.

May you remember… your hard work is paying off.

So today… choose what you’re committing to.

Keep it simple. Keep it honest. Keep it sustainable.

And take one small step that honours the person you’re becoming.

Much New Moon Blessings to You All 🌙

Working with Bay ….diffuser blend 🌿

This blend grew very naturally out of the week I’ve been having.

Bay was always going to be the lead here — for clarity, focus, and that sense of gathering my thoughts and energy back in.

However what really makes this blend feel the way it does are the other two oils.

Cedarwood needles almost feel like a happy accident in my life.
I picked this oil up at an aromatherapy connection day years ago from the supplier, when they were being given away, not really knowing much about it at all.

It’s since become one of my absolute favourites — easily in my top ten. I adore it.

It brings me genuine joy when I smell it and when I blend with it.

There’s something so green, alive, and quietly uplifting about it that just makes me smile.

When I was putting this blend together, I did initially think about adding a citrus ….something like pink grapefruit to cut through and lift it.
And while it was fresh and clear, it didn’t feel quite right for this time of year. It felt more like a spring energy — outward, bright, and forward-moving.

What this blend actually needed was warmth.

Something internal. Something that could support focus and clarity while still feeling held, especially as we’re still very much in winter….in these deep, Cailleach months.

That’s where cardamom came in. Just a tiny drop was enough. It softened the blend, warmed it from the inside, and gave it that sense of being gently hugged rather than sharpened.

This has become a really supportive diffuser blend for me while I focus, organise, and bring some steadiness into my days — clarity with warmth, not pressure…

A beautiful blend on a Winters Day…

What’s Your blend this Winter?? ❄️

💆🏻 A little massage update 🤍

I’m really happy to share my updated massage therapy price list with you.

These treatments reflect the way I actually work — thoughtful, therapeutic, and always tailored to what your body needs on the day.
From remedial and holistic massage, to Indian head massage, pregnancy massage, facial therapy and hot stones, everything is here in one place.

As I prepare to reopen the Goddess Temple on 12th January, I’m really looking forward to welcoming you back into the space and easing gently into the work again.

As always, if you’re unsure which treatment would suit you best, just pop me a message.

When an Oil Won’t Leave Me Alone 🌿

This week, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Bay.

That’s usually how it starts for me …..an oil just pops into my head and won’t leave me alone.

When that happens, I know I need to listen.

I’ll take it from my collection, be with it for days, keep coming back to it, and notice what’s shifting.

This week, Bay has very much been that oil.

There’s been a strong intuitive pull towards cognitive clearing and focus …….getting my head straight, organising myself, and finally tackling admin that’s been sitting heavy for a while.

Alongside that, I’ve also felt a need for protection and steady, supportive energy as I work my way back into rhythm.

Bay has a long history of being associated with strength, clarity, and protection.

Traditionally, bay (laurel) was used to crown poets, leaders, and warriors ….linked with clear thinking, honour, and speaking with confidence.

On a physical level, bay is often used to support the respiratory system, ease muscular tension, encourage circulation, and support mental fatigue.

Emotionally, it feels steadying and strengthening — helpful when the mind feels scattered or overwhelmed. Energetically, it carries a protective quality without being heavy or forceful.

In my own spiritual practice, I also work with bay leaves as a way of releasing what no longer needs to be carried.

I’ll write down worries, negative thought patterns, or old energy I’m ready to let go of, and burn the bay leaf as a simple act of release — a reminder that clarity often comes from letting things go, not holding tighter.

I’ve already started blending with Bay this week, letting intuition lead and allowing it to guide how it wants to be worked with.

This is very much how I work — listening first, then understanding and then implementing… it always turns out to be the oil I need….

Keep an eye out for this week’s diffuser blend using the ancient oil…

❄️ Welcoming January Slowly ❄️

We do have to remember… it’s only the 5th of January. We’re still right in the middle of winter.

I really needed to get out in the sunshine today.

Wrapped up in about a million layers, I managed a short 15-minute walk before the cold sent me back inside….but honestly, it was exactly what I needed.

The snow, the light, the quiet…

This is very much The Cailleach season for me — the winter goddess who wraps herself around us & the land at this time of year.

The cold, the stillness, the inward pull… it all feels like a reminder to slow, to keep warm, and to let winter do what she’s meant to do.

My meditation card this morning was See the Beauty, and that felt very on point.

I know a lot of people are heading back into routine today. I feel that pull too.

There’s plenty to do. However I’m letting myself come back steadily — one small job at a time — instead of rushing myself out of winter.

I’ll be reopening the Goddess Temple on 12th January, and as I gently prepare the space again.

I’m really looking forward to offering deeply nourishing, warming, supportive treatments for this season.

For today though, I’m grateful I listened to my body, got some winter light on my face, and let that be enough 🤍

Stay safe, warm & see you soon x x

Much Winter Love

A Full Moon That Feels Like Sanctuary 🌕

Lapping up the Full Moon in Cancer tonight, and it feels like a quiet one for me.

Not dramatic, not demanding …..just gently illuminating what’s already there.

Cancer moons always take us inward …..into roots, family, memory, and that deep human need to belong.

This one feels especially tender around emotional truth and what it means to feel safe within yourself, rather than looking for that reassurance outside.

I’ve been noticing how often we look to others for validation or permission — for someone else to say yes, you fit here.

This Full Moon feels like a reminder that I don’t actually need to explain myself anymore.

I don’t need to soften my story or reshape it so it’s easier for someone else to hold.

What I know, I know.

So tonight feels less about setting big intentions and more about honesty.

About sitting with what’s true.
About releasing what was never mine to carry in the first place.

If this Cancer Full Moon is stirring something for you too, you’re not alone.

Go gently. 🌕

Much Full Moon Love

A Gentle Start to the Year 🌙

If January already feels like a lot — this is your reminder…..

You don’t need to overhaul your life.

You don’t need to “do better”.

You don’t need to earn rest.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is slow down, listen, and tend to ourselves with care.

This year, I’m leaning into nourishment — for body, mind, and nervous system…..

and I’ll be sharing more as it unfolds 🤍

Let’s do January together 🤲

Much Gentle Love

What a bloody year😳😆

Chewed me up a bit, stretched me in ways I didn’t expect…
and honestly?
It’s been bloody brilliant.

At the start of this year I didn’t set out to transform my life.

I just knew something felt stagnant… heavy… and I wanted different energy.

So I made some choices that scared me.

I joined a new community.

I trusted my body again.

I did things I never thought I was capable of.

Somewhere between lifting weights I didn’t think I could lift,
finding my voice in spaces that once terrified me,
and building something new with sound, stillness and intention…

something shifted.

For the first time in my life, I feel aligned.

Not striving. Not proving.

Just grounded in who I actually am.

I’m in my 50s and I’m living differently now —
more honestly, more bravely, more in my body.

And for the first time, I can say this without cringing:
I’m proud of myself.

Of the choices I made.

Of the work I’ve done.

Of the woman I’ve become.

This year hasn’t just shaped me personally —
it’s deepened how I hold space, how I listen, how I work.

Because I don’t guide from theory.
I guide from lived experience.

So this isn’t a neat little year-end summary.

It’s just me, acknowledging a powerful year,
and stepping into the next one with clarity and trust.

Here’s to choosing differently.

Here’s to new energy.

Here’s to whatever comes next.

Sending Much New Year Love to You all

Under the Same Moon, Still Growing 🌙

As this year draws to a close, I’m feeling so deeply grateful.

So much has shifted and grown over the past year ……personally and professionally……and Moon Rise Therapies has evolved in ways I could never have fully imagined.

I feel incredibly blessed to do the work I do, and to support the women and men who have trusted me with their care, their stories, and their healing.

This year has also brought some truly inspiring people into my life ……therapists, practitioners, and beautiful souls whose support, encouragement, and shared wisdom have motivated me more than they’ll ever know.

I haven’t walked this path alone, and I’m so thankful for that.

As I look ahead, I feel excited, grounded, and ready for what’s to come. 2026 feels full of possibility, and I can’t wait to continue growing, learning, and creating spaces of care, connection, and support in the year ahead.

Thank you for being part of this journey 🤍

Moon Rise Therapies is now closed for the festive season and will reopen in the New Year.

Wishing you all much love this festive time

Rest isn’t a luxury — and it isn’t a pamper either. 🌿

Sometimes I hear my work described as a “pamper”,

and I understand why — however it never quite sits right with me.

Because what happens in real rest isn’t indulgence.

It’s regulation.
It’s recovery.
It’s the nervous system finally being allowed to soften.

For many women, stopping doesn’t feel restful at all.

It can feel uncomfortable, guilt-ridden, or agitating — especially when we’re so used to being in constant motion.

Sitting down with Netflix might feel like you’ve stopped, however if your system is still wired, scrolling, or thinking about what you should be doing, the body hasn’t actually rested.

True rest is an active healing state.

It’s how stress begins to settle.

It’s how hormones are supported.

It’s how the body repairs.

This work isn’t about switching off from life.

It’s about creating the conditions where the body feels safe enough to let go.

Rest isn’t a luxury.
It’s essential.

Much Tuesday Love
