And just like that… the hands are having a holiday 🌿

Last day in the studio today.
So grateful for this little space, the humans who fill it, and the bodies that keep coming back.

Time to rest, reset, and step away from the table for a month.

The diary is open so feel free to book your May treatments times.

Be right back…✈️

Love a good lesson that leaves its mark 🔥

Early massage career lesson…..confidence was high, coordination was not.”

Thought hot oil would be a great idea.
Put the bottle up on the high shelf… you know, for safety.

Reached up luckily before my client arrived like a professional!
Absolutely fumbled it straight onto my own head.

Hot oil dripping down my face.

Needless to say… cool oil now lives at waist height 😂

Any other massage therapists with any self-inflicted mishaps?

Today’s office 🤍

Today I got to teach yoga to a bunch of amazing women in one of the best locations around .

Stretching, slowing down, and reconnecting, followed by a warm &Relax Magnesium Ginger & Kunzea foot soak to finish the session 💦🌿

There’s something special about being by the ocean.
Research shows that “blue spaces” like the sea can help reduce stress, lower cortisol levels, and shift the body into a more relaxed parasympathetic state.

Add in the sound of waves, fresh salty air, and grounding through the feet and you’ve got the perfect environment for the nervous system to truly switch off.

Movement, connection, and a little magnesium magic ✨

Your lymphatic system acts like the body’s drainage network, collecting excess fluid from tissues and returning it to the bloodstream.

Unlike the heart, it doesn’t have a central pump.
Instead it relies on:

• muscle contractions
• breathing
• movement
• body position

So the best way to support your lymphatic system?

Walk. Stretch. Breathe deeply. Move your body.

Simple things your body was designed to do.

Ice or Heat? Here’s a simple rule I follow👇

❄️ Ice is best for sudden injuries and swelling.
It helps numb pain and reduce inflammation.
Use for 10–15 minutes with a cloth between the ice and your skin.

Modern research suggests that excessively icing injuries may actually delay healing, as the body’s natural inflammation process is necessary for repairing damaged tissue.
No more putting your entire leg into an ice bucket / rubbish bin after rolling your ankle at basketball for over 20mins 😅 (that was never fun)

🔥 Heat is better for tight, aching muscles or stiffness.
It increases blood flow and helps muscles relax.
Use for 15–20 minutes to warm the area.

Quick guide:
Cold = calm the pain on sudden injuries / bites
Heat = relax tight muscles

Listen to your body. Personally I love heat and I’ve had many injuries 😅.

My morning backyard walk 🚶🏼‍♀️🐶 💚

Just 10–20 minutes outside in the morning can help wake up your body, boost your mood, and reset your internal clock. Morning sunlight supports better sleep later that night, while gentle movement gets the blood flowing and the joints moving.

Add nature to the mix and the benefits grow even more, green spaces help lower stress, calm the nervous system, and clear the mind.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your health is simple:
step outside and walk. 🌿

A little heads up!
I’m taking a month off from April 5th and will be back in the studio on Monday 18th May.

My diary reflects these dates, so if you’d like a massage before I head off, jump onto my website and pre-book your appointment.

Because everyone deserves relaxed muscles… even me 😌

No compression socks today… so my pesky swelling is reminding me who’s boss.

When the valves in the gastroc veins aren’t working efficiently (venous valve insufficiency), fluid can pool in the lower leg and ankle. This often shows up as swelling, heaviness, or tightness by the end of the day.

So what helps?

✔ Elevation – gravity assists the return of blood and lymph back toward the heart.
✔ Muscle pump – when the calf muscles contract they act like a pump helping move blood upward.
✔ Gentle upward massage strokes – these support the natural direction of venous and lymphatic return.

Upward strokes can help:

• Encourage movement of interstitial fluid toward functioning lymphatic vessels
• Support venous return by gently compressing superficial veins
• Reduce local swelling temporarily
• Improve comfort and tissue mobility

Today’s self-care prescription:
Feet up. Gentle strokes. Let gravity do some of the work.

Your calf muscles are basically your second heart – treat them well.

🌿 I still have availability for March 🌿

Fun fact: massage isn’t just about sore muscles, it tells your nervous system to switch out of stress mode and into rest + repair &RELAX
