What the summer’s all about ☀️

Building up some strength for some upcoming jiu-jitsu competitions. A mowed lawn and a bit of sunshine is a great combination for an evening workout in the garden.

What’s okay?

It’s okay to take a break. To reset and think more about where you want to go towards than just keep pumping out posts for the sake of being ‘present’.

I think as human beings we are naturally social, but socialising on platforms like this isn’t natural to me at all.

Stick me in a room with likeminded people and I’m away! But finding my people on here… that’s a whole different challenge.

I’m getting back on the horse, and I’m going to try to be more authentic with how I share content to stop a future burnout before it happens 🔥

New Year New Me

Nah just kidding, same me here.

I know that January is all about setting new goals, fresh starts and caffeine fueled ambition. But instead of a gym membership for 12 months that you only use for the first 3 months (ask my wife), why don't you focus on small manageable changes that have a big long term impact on your body and your wellbeing.

Here's a bit of a throw back to last year when I spent a great deal of time out on my bike. Riding from A to B is the perfect switch from a heated car ride, something that's practical but has a long term impact.

Here's one example of a million that you could start today, and actually sustain.

So I want to know, what are you looking to achieve in 2023? And what are you willing to change to make it happen?

SLEEP 😴

After listening to many hours of the I’ve loved learning about sleep and how to better my sleep to have optimal performance and feel great.

Along with this I found that massage can have a real benefit with improving sleep. This is due to the fact that massage can increase the production of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is used to produce the hormone melatonin which is responsible for preparing the brain for sleep and helping with your circadian rhythms.

So if you are struggling with your sleep schedule why not give massage a try?

Did you know different massage oils have different effects?

As an SMT I’m always looking to use the best products for my clients, oil is a particularly important one to get right.

Why do we use oil?
It reduces the friction between my hands and your skin. Without these mediums skin can become hot and twisted, and the massage will likely become uncomfortable and less effective.

I like to mix my base oil with a few essential oils to make it completely unique to my services.

Important elements are:
☑️ Hypoallergenic, I want to avoid any allergic reactions!
☑️ Properties to reduce any inflammation.
☑️Help ease anxiety and clear your mind.
☑️Hydration
☑️Pain relief

Who knew so many things could come from what oil you use during massage?

This is why I love doing what I do. Knowing that I can help people means the world to me.

Sundays are definitely a day for yourself. Time to really unwind and reset ready for the next week ahead.

Taking time to get in tune with your body is a priority for me. It means I avoid burning out, and keep my body pushing (physically).

They say Sunday is a day of rest, so that’s why I’m setting up for a regular schedule of sessions at in Verwood each Sunday moving forward (minus holidays).

If you are looking for a way to restore your body from the weeks aches and pain’s definitely drop me a message and I’ll get you booked in to join me at the Sasquatch Gym.

Spaces will be limited so be sure to get in touch sooner to avoid missing out!

Early Christmas Present 🎁

I find super helpful, especially in the evening when I get home from jiu-jitsu with

It really helps my mind relax, and switch off from everything we’ve worked on in the session. It definitely aids with recovery too, so it’s a must have at home now.

Have you tried any brands of cbd oil? If you have do you find it beneficial?
