🎄 Last appointments before Christmas 🎄

If your shoulders are living up near your ears, your jaw feels clenched, or your head just won’t switch off… this is your gentle nudge.

I’ve got a few final one-hour treatment spaces left this Friday before I close for Christmas:

🕰 11.45am
🕰 2.15pm
🕰 3.30pm

A calm, cosy space. Gentle hands-on therapies. No rushing, no pressure, no small talk if you don’t want it.

A beautiful 2-hour mindfulness and meditation session to see us through to the new year tonight 🥰

A massive thank you to everyone who has come along to any of my sessions this year — including those who took the leap with my first Mindfulness Based Living Course. It fills my heart that you entrust me with your midweek chill-out and to support your mindfulness journey.

Tonight’s standout feedback: “I arrived with a heart rate of 111 and ended at 67!” 💜

Here’s to more mindfulness and meditation in 2026 😊💜

A tired mind and a tense body are not two separate things.

When your system is overloaded — too many tasks, too many expectations, too much stimulation — your muscles tighten to protect you.

Shoulders rise.
Breathing quickens.
Sleep becomes lighter.
Irritation appears from nowhere.

You’re not “being dramatic”.
You’re having a perfectly normal physiological response to stress.

And the beautiful thing is…
your body also knows how to come back into balance.

Touch, warmth, breath, grounding — these reset your nervous system in minutes.
This is why therapies, mindfulness, and intentional rest make such a difference.

Your body wants to heal.
You just need the space to let it.

If your social battery feels drained before the week has even begun… you’re definitely not alone.

This time of year asks us to be everywhere — planning, organising, smiling, showing up, rushing, buying, wrapping, hosting…

And yet your nervous system is quietly saying:
“Please, slow down.”

Tiredness isn’t a failure.
Overwhelm isn’t weakness.

It’s your body asking for a moment to soften…

Softening. Resetting. Reconnecting.
One breath at a time.

If you've been hunched over your keyboard all week or spending too much time on your phone and have started to resemble a prawn… 🦐
Then you need my special December offer!

Every Friday in December
25-minute seated massage | £20
A brilliant way to undo the mid-week tension, ease tight shoulders and necks, and feel human again before the weekend.

As we step into December and life starts to feel a little busier, I’m creating a peaceful space on Wednesday 10th December for anyone who needs a quiet hour to unwind and reset 💜

Two gentle meditation sessions, each with their own vibe:

🕠 5.30–6.30pm – The Unwind Session
Perfect if you want to relax on your way home and ease out of the day before the evening rush.

🕢 6.45–8.00pm – The Settle & Sleep Session
Cosy, candlelit, slower… ideal if you want to settle your mind and drift into a deeper, more restful sleep.

£10 per session
Or come to both for £20 – only 1 bundle left

If December already feels full-on and you’d love a moment of calm, I’d love to welcome you.

Most people don’t realise how closely linked pain and stress are.
When your body is tense, everything feels harder — sleep, mood, digestion, focus… all of it.

Reflexology works by calming the nervous system so your body can finally switch out of “fight or flight.”
When the body feels safe, it can rest, repair, and release tension naturally.

A gentle reminder: you don’t need to push through everything on your own.

If you'd like to explore reflexology for pain or stress support, my Wednesday–Friday appointments are open.

New skills for 2019

So far this year has been full of learning and new experiences. I started the year by undertaking a variety of tech courses to help me to be more visible and to provide you with interesting and relevant content. From Pinterest and Instagram to building my own website, pushing this technophobe outside of her comfort zone!

In March I completed further training in Natural Lift Facial Massage. What a treatment that is! I don’t think I have ever had as many people fall asleep during their treatments as they do with this one!

A big part of my role is to help my customers to develop their ability to deal with stress and anxiety. Having experienced periods of both anxiety and depression I am keen to help others however I can. Having always been camera shy and quite a private person, this year I decided that it was time to get over myself! It’s very difficult to help people if you are shying away isn’t it. So I put on my big girl pants and starting doing group Mindfulness events, alongside a very talented Yoga instructor (aka Calm Sundays). This led us to hold a fabulous weekend retreat on Arran, a whole weekend of Yoga and Mindfulness that received brilliant feedback and saw a lot of happy and chilled out faces getting back on that ferry to Ardrossan.

I have also continued down my own path with Mindfulness training and I hope that this will one day lead me to a qualification in Mindfulness for Young People. Having spent the majority of my adult life working with teenagers, Mindfulness is a skill that I am really keen to share with them.
