Merry Christmas Eve Eve! ❤️

To all of my wonderful clients,

Thank you for everything this year. I've taken a huge step back from social media and yet you still see me and chose me 🫶🏻 It means the world. I still do all of this as a second job, and I do it for you lot. The laughs we have, the therapy, the easing your pain (be it mental or physical), the stories, the connection. Part of my calling is to help ❤️

I hope you all have the most magical holidays 🎄🎁🎉 I plan on a couple of weeks to recoup, enjoy some headspace and come back in 2026 raring to go once again!

Here's to the final week or so of 2025, lots of celebrating and a whole load of eagerness for a fantastic 2026!

Love and hugs 🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻

I know a lot of you know my hubby Chris from Adore Asanas Yoga already. He's working closely with his good friend Shane over at the Jasper Cacao Community Space in Preston Farm and is looking to put on a yoga class over there.

Any input from yogis out there on preferences for days and times would be much appreciated 🫶🏼

I've embraced yoga so much lately and can't sing its praises enough in terms of self care, mental clarity and whole body maintenance, so honestly if you do anything today, take some time to look into it and pop Chris a message with your preference for days/times of classes 😍

Morning all,

It's been a long time since I've posted here. Hope you're all well 😊

This is just a quick note with a few updates.

Firstly, I'm still here and still seeing clients. Life is very busy and I don't get much time for socials these days but know that I'm still here and still treating 🩵

Secondly, I'll be taking appointments by message only for the foreseeable future. My clinic hours are changing every week now and Setmore isn't clever enough to know what hours I do every week so while everything is a bit chaotic, I'll take appointments by direct message only. I'll arrange deposits at the time of booking so please message through Instagram or Facebook 🫶🏼

And lastly, a huge thank you for sticking with me. I'm almost three years into running this business now on the side of a full time job and a busy little family life. I still see new clients and I have clients who I see time and time again. It means a lot that you choose me 😍

That's it. Nothing scary. Just me cracking on with a bit more structured time management 💪🏻

Enjoy your summer and I'll see you in clinic soon 🩵

This is feeling somewhat relatable today 😂

Yes I'm still here. No I've not disappeared. Apologies my posts have been scaled back, but it's only blooming marathon season! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

On top of my gorgeous regulars, my diary is brimming with marathon folk ironing out niggles, loosening off tight legs, looking for advice and generally trying to make sure their body is in tip top shape for race day, and that they are booked in for 'repair' after 😂

On top of this, I'm training myself. It's been tough 😳 Marathon training is an absolute beast and it really does test everything about you. I've learnt that I actually can get even more hungry than usual 😂, hills are bruuuuuutal, long runs every weekend builds character 🙄😂 and I'm capable of a lot more than I imagined!

So here's to all you marathon folk 😁 I've still got slots available over the next month. I've got you. I'm with you. We've got this! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I'm not one for medals usually as I'm more of a t-shirt gal, but this dinner plate sized Spice Girls one had my name written all over it 😂 5 laps of a 3.28 mile route was quite the mental challenge yesterday, but more miles banked ready for races later on in the year. Anyone else get any medals over the weekend? Let's see them 👍🏼

We're fast approaching marathon season and I'm seeing the diary for April getting booked up with pre and post-event treatments. Don't leave it too late to get booked in

A pre-event massage usually done at least 3 days before the big day, can be the perfect way to invigorate the muscles, ease off any built up tension from your training, flush away any waste products and get those legs feeling fresh

Post-event (some people like it as soon as possible after, but brace yourself for it feeling a little tender) can help with recovery. Going hard on the day can leave the body feeling tight, sore and tired. A treatment after the event can ease all of this and bring life back to your legs to help prevent the post-marathon waddle. IYKYK 😂

Booking system is always open for you, or drop me a message with any questions or for any advice 🙏🏻

It's Boro Half weekend! Who's running it? Who's racing it? Who's cheerleading? Who's volunteering? 👏🏻

After running it last year, I can admit it's not the most inspiring of routes, but it is nice and flat, well organised and well....it's Boro and I'm a Boro girl ❤️

Best of luck to any of you attending this Sunday! I'll be cheering you on in spirit as I have my own training to tackle at the minute 💪🏻

Smash it, enjoy it and take lots of pics to share 😁 I can't wait to see them! And if you need a good recovery treatment afterwards, I've got you 😊 Spaces are tight next week, but I'm only a DM away

Happy Valentine's Day you lovely people ❤️😍

Whether you're celebrating with a loved one, a friend, at work, with your pet or alone, don't forget a bit of self love ❤️

💘 Buy yourself something nice
💘 Cook an awesome meal
💘 Go somewhere that means something special to you
💘 Treat yourself

I offer 30, 45, 60 and 90 minute treatments. Don't neglect a bit of self love and self care (Initial consultations are 75 minutes for new Sports Therapy clients)

Massage can calm your nervous system, make you feel like you've had the BEST sleep ever, relieve tense muscles and release pent up emotions.

Sports Therapy can ease pain, improve mobility, aid with recovery from injuries and soothe symptoms of chronic illness.

Some see it as a treat. I see it as a necessity 🙌🏼

I've got you 😊🙏🏻

Hearts for Valentine's week ❤️😂 These one's aren't your typical ones though. Imagine these showing up on your skin!

I use dry cupping on lots of clients. It's great for relieving muscle tension, improving blood flow, increasing range of movement, pain relief, nerve pain and often people find it quite relaxing. The cups are suction cups that decompress the muscle allowing blood to flow freely bringing oxygen and nutrients to the area for healing. The colours give an indication* of what's going on in the area and can last anywhere from a couple of hours right up to 10 days depending on the colour and person.

Anyone else a fan of cupping? Where have you had them applied? How did you find the experience? What colour were your hearts? 😊

*I say indication as everyone is different and bodies respond differently to different modalities 🙏🏻
