Dear readers,

First of all, happy new Chinese New Year and Happy Ramadan to everyone who celebrates it together with their family and friends in mutual positive feelings of reflection, kindness and heartfelt hope.

It’s precious to be able to share past memories and hold hands, give hugs & strengthen bonds for a meaningful outlook towards future, especially at a place that we call home.

We are moving home soon with my family and we are excited and busier than usual so I am working with reduced hours until mid March and there may be 1-2 days delay on replies to messages and emails while we take this big step.

Best wishes,

BKTM

Good morning,

Happy February!

This week is on: where to check in at the time of your booking before your session as you enter Penny Brohn UK Hub. I picked the quietest time not to confuse you because the shop can get very busy in the afternoons, but all you need to do is, introduce yourself to the front desk. Hub team will lead you to the wellbeing part of the shop and the cosy relaxation area.

Next, I’ll share the entrance to the wellbeing rooms. I know, I started enjoying fiddling with Instagram and learning something new is one of the things that relaxes me.

What do you do to relax?

Hello! How are you? Thanks for checking my post and reading along.

Did you know that I use Amour Natural Avocado oil for massage therapy? you can also now opt-in for this new Rose Water mist at the end of your session for hydration on your face and hair!, before you move on to the beautiful relaxation area of Penny Brohn UK Hub Wellbeing Room with an extra uplifted mood.

At the start of each session, if you wish, I also let you inhale one from the choice of the aromas that are available for purchase at the charity shop front with your consent as a tester and a pleasant start to your massage therapy either it is classical holistic body massage or Indian head massage.

It is your time, it is your massage, we design it together where I perform our treatment plan uniquely tailored to you with skillful, experienced and therapeutic touch. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Find more info on www.BurcuMassage.com and if interested you can drop a quick line to BurcuMassagePractice@gmail.com to book a free phone consultation.

This a quick and good one, though surely take it slow, easy with deep breathing for about 30 seconds.

It’s also good for pre massage therapy days and basicly to start and end any day with it, integrating some deep breathing techniques as always.

It will gently warm up your body when it’s difficult to get out of bed, being so cold out there. Get set with Balasana as soon as you wake up. Nice article giving a good insight to this yoga pose.

Safety first, if you have issues with your lower limb joints, get a consent from your physiotherapist.

This is a third party link and take and leave as much as you wish.

Happy reading!

Take a break. Balasana is a restful pose that can be sequenced between more challenging asanas.

I am back here to share some further good news about what I offer at my massage therapy practice. Now, I am insured in massage for Cancer Patients.

In fact, apparently it was something that I could have already added to my policy in 2019, following the workshop I attended at NGS Macmillan Cancer Wellbeing Centre located at Southmead Hospital in Bristol and my monthly volunteering mornings there for just over a year, before the Covid outbreak.

At the time, when I started my volunteer massage therapist journey there, I was not set to practice privately, my intention was solely to share my skills to give back to the community in a way it meant a lot to me in a personal way. I gained valuable experience. It was an amazing team of people working there together creating this homely environment where you forget that you are at an hospital campus. (I’ll share the links in the future here)

Thanks to the last booking I had, it prompted me not to delay it further and look into how I can reflect my experience then to today.

I had many volunteering roles since I moved to the UK in 2009, and I know more than a tap on your shoulder, there is a huge opportunity to connect with something bigger for otherwise you may not have the chance to do so.

To be continued in the new year…

Thanks for reading!
