Good Morning ❤️

03/20/2026

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough, and we'll be more content when they are.

After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our partner gets his or her act together when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice holiday, when we retire.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?

Your life will always be filled with challenges.

It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.

A quote comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said,

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one.

So, stop waiting until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until winter, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink.... there is no better time than right now to be happy.
And if life is too overwhelming, too difficult. One day at a time. And if that's still too overwhelming...an hour at a time 💗

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Work like you don't need money,

Love like you've never been hurt ❤️

And dance like no one's watching 💃

Happy International Women’s Day 💜

As someone who works closely with women every day through reflexology and wellness treatments, I’m constantly reminded of just how much women carry — physically, emotionally, and mentally. From balancing work, family, hormones, stress, and everything in between, women often give so much of themselves to everyone else.

Today is a reminder that your wellbeing matters too.

Supporting women’s health and creating a space where women can pause, breathe, relax, and reconnect with themselves is the heart of why I do what I do. Seeing the difference that taking even a small moment for self-care can make is something that inspires me every single day.

To all the amazing women I’ve had the privilege of working with, and to every woman taking steps to look after her wellbeing — today we celebrate you.

Take the time to rest, reset, and be kind to yourself. You deserve it.

Happy International Women’s Day 🌸

Love you always Wee Luna 🤍🌈

Striking a match too hard won’t light it.
In fact, it might break it.
And then there will be no light.

Piling too much on a fire won’t keep it lit.
In fact, it might suffocate it.
And then there will be no fire.

Burning a candle constantly won’t keep it burning.
In fact, it will exhaust it.
And then there will be no flame.

Sometimes gently is better.
Sometimes little by little is needed.
Sometimes rest is necessary.

Sometimes gentleness gives us light
and space to breathe.

Sometimes gentleness allows us to come back to life again when we weren’t even sure if we still had that fire in us.

So don’t be too hard on yourself.
Don’t pile on the pressure.
Don’t burn yourself out.

Because your flame can’t stay alive like that ..

I offer this amazing treatment on it's own, or I add to your treatment if I feel you could benefit from it. Not many clients know I am fully qualified in this fantastic treatment ❤️
What is Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage?

Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD) is an award-winning reflexology technique, which stimulates the upper and lower lymphatic reflexes on the feet to affect the body’s lymphatic system.

Working in a similar way to Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), RLD was researched and developed by Sally Kay BSc (Hons) when working in cancer care to alleviate lymphoedema in cancer patients.

Clients typically find RLD deeply relaxing and may well fall asleep during this part of the treatment.

What happens during a treatment?

You will remain fully clothed on the therapy bed either lying down flat or with the head raised so you are sitting up. I will uncover your feet, position them on the foot rest and work on them one at a time, covering the other foot to keep it cosy and warm. This treatment is very similar to Reflexology, in that it stimulates the reflexes in the feet, however RLD is very gentle as the lymph is located just below the skin.

Who is it good for?

As with MLD, RLD can be good for those with the following conditions:

Aches and Pains

Arthritis

Asthma

Chronic Fatigue

Eczema

Fibromyalgia

Headaches

ME

Migraines

Muscular Tension

Premenstrual Syndrome

Sinus Problems

Utilising RLD, this form of Reflexology targets the lymphatic system which relies on bodily movement for the fluid to move. The key difference between MLD and RLD is that instead of a massage by a remedial massage therapist, RLD is discreet and focuses solely on the feet and/or hands by encouraging the flow of fluid through the manipulation of lymphatic reflex points.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN RLD TREATMENT SESSION ON A SWOLLEN LIMB?

Prior to your RLD treatment, where possible we begin by taking a few measurements of the affected, swollen limb/s with a tape measure and record the volume of fluid. The RLD treatment then takes place on the feet (and/or hands). It is a gentle, extremely relaxing specialised treatment that can have amazing results....

I loved training in this amazing, award winning treatment 💛
