December brought back a bit of my old corporate habit 😅 Just before Christmas, I finally renewed my consultation form — the last outstanding KPI for this year 😆

This new version is intentionally designed with bigger fonts and short, simple language. Many people don’t bring their reading glasses to their massage appointment (understandably!), so I wanted to make it as easy and stress-free as possible 👍

If you prefer, a digital version (Word format) is also available and you’re more than welcome to complete it before your appointment.

Made with care, so you can relax from the moment you arrive 🫶

If you’re a new client and would like the digital form in advance, feel free to message me anytime.

Small changes in sleep can make a surprisingly big difference — and I feel so grateful every time a client tells me they slept better after a session 🙏✨

Did you know that just one extra hour of quality sleep can improve memory, focus, mood, energy levels, and support long-term health?

Massage helps calm the nervous system, lower stress hormones, and support the release of serotonin and melatonin — helping the body relax, fall asleep more easily, and wake feeling refreshed.

Every time I hear this kind of feedback, it reminds me why I love this work — knowing someone nearby had a beautiful night😊👍

2025 was a big year for me
I’m feeling grateful and intentionally slowing down to take it all in...

A moment right after a treatment is such a special window ✨

Clients lying there relaxed and smiling peacefully — that alone says more than words ever could.

But in that soft, quiet space, they sometimes share the most honest and unrefined comments, straight from the heart… and those words are the ones I want to treasure forever 💛

As the final chapter of 2025 arrives, I wanted to celebrate by sharing a few things my lovely clients said right after their treatments. These moments touched my heart more than they’ll ever know 🌿

I’m so grateful that my work allows people to feel lighter, calmer, and more like themselves again 🤍

Thank you for every session, every smile, every story, and every moment of trust.

You make my work meaningful. Here’s to more healing and more joy in the year ahead ✨

At Barton Holistic Wellbeing, the music you hear comes from this old Sony Hi-Fi — a CMT-M100MD, almost 25 years old!
No Bluetooth… but it does have CD, MiniDisc, and even cassette tapes! wow! =p

It’s a tiny touch of nostalgia… and I truly believe our bodies remember and respond to that familiarity — the feeling of when life was a little slower and simpler...
Honestly, the sound from older technology is so much warmer, rounder, softer… almost like the music wraps around your body, unlike many modern smart devices which can feel a little sharper to the ears =(

Quite a few people have commented positively on the music, so I thought it might be nice to introduce the little helper that quietly supports every treatment in the background — gently filling the space and guiding you into a peaceful headspace!

It’s a tiny touch of nostalgia… but it helps people soften, and that means everything to me.

I walked into the kitchen because I was thirsty… and then something caught my eye.
Little prisms were dancing across the wall — many of them. 🌈✨
The winter sun was shining through the sun catchers on the window.

My mood lifted instantly.
Then I realised I had been ruminating again… thinking about something I couldn’t control.

And suddenly I remembered:
This is why my past self put these little things around the house — to cheer me up.
I snapped out of the loop and chose something more supportive for myself instead.

Thank you, past me.
I’m really grateful. 🌈

Sometimes self-care is just leaving small reminders for your future self —
little anchors of light that help you feel better and do better.

A small act of kindness to your future self goes further than you think. ✨

In East Asian traditions, we also say that damp cold can sink into the body — slowing circulation, tightening the muscles, and sometimes even triggering the pain around old injuries.

It's not a myth. It's real especially when there’s already a bit of wear-and-tear or inflammation in the joints because atmospheric pressure can increase the pressure inside the joints, and high humidity can cause the body to retain fluid. Combined with muscle stiffness from cold weather, this puts extra strain on the joints — which is why Hot Stone Massage feels so supportive now!

The warmth from the stones doesn’t just feel comforting — it helps the muscles melt open, encourages circulation, releases deep tension, and brings heat back into areas that feel stuck or achy. It’s a beautiful way to warm the body from the inside out and help you feel lighter, warmer, and find a bit more comfort in your movement.

Let your body thaw, soften, and breathe again.
You deserve warmth. 🤍🔥

It genuinely humbles me every time I receive a review like this.
Most of my clients are regulars now, and many of them already know that I don’t have a website, and I’m not even on Google Maps… yet.
It’s just this Instagram and Facebook with my very occasional updates — I simply don’t have much time for social media, and let’s be honest… technology and media aren’t my strengths at all! 🤯 I’m trying though.😅

That’s why I’m so deeply grateful for everyone who recommends me, spreads the word, or sends me heartfelt feedback to share here. Your support is the reason my little business keeps growing offline 🙏✨

Thank you, truly, for seeing my work, appreciating it, and encouraging me.
I carry your words with me into every treatment I do 🙏✨🌿

A quick dip to finish the day! 🌊

After an amazing private yoga session with Yoga Journey with Nicole , my hips and legs felt so good! Thanks Nicole 🥰🥰🥰— so I decided to top up the health benefits with a cold sea dip 🤣

I even went back in twice after this.
Brave me! 😤💪
