🌿 Celebrating 60 Years of Life & 36+ Years of Massage 🌿

Back in 1996, I charged $65 for a one-hour massage.
Today, nearly 30 years later, my price is just $70.
To celebrate my 60th birthday, I’m winding the clock back even further:

One Hour Relaxation Massage – just $60
(Usually $70)

Available for a limited time during my birthday week only.
Perfect as a treat for yourself or as a voucher for someone special.

“One of the things I love most about the Cottage is how it adapts to the people who fill it. Last weekend, it wasn’t just a massage space — the massage room became the bride’s dressing room, filled with laughter and excitement, while the waiting room turned into a hair and makeup station buzzing with anticipation. It’s always such a privilege to see these rooms transform to hold such special moments.”

Such a joyous day helping my foster daughter/niece get up the aisle on time ♡

Special shout out to Hannah for doing the brides makeup 💄 ✨️ 🙌 💖

Are You Low on Electrolytes?
Electrolytes aren’t just for athletes — they’re essential for everyday energy, focus, and wellbeing. When your levels dip, your body often lets you know through headaches, cramps, fatigue, or even palpitations.

This chart shows the 5 key electrolytes, the signs you may notice if they’re low, and why they matter. At Shadeofgrey Cottage, I see how stress, dehydration, and chronic pain conditions can upset this delicate balance. Gentle massage, hydration, and self-care can all help your body reset and restore. And dont forget to have salt!! Salt draws hydration to your cells!

Massage is more than relaxation — it restores balance.

Book in today and give your body the support it needs.

This Cottage Kid is now 12 & taller than me!! She had her 1st massage here in the Cottage when she was 3 and the 1st time she saw me she looked right into my eyes saying, "I've been looking for you oh there you are"
She's still that amazing ray of sunshine 🌞 Happy Birthday Week C 💛
