Why I take an hour between my clients sessions:
Behind the scenes I’m not only completing my notes and clearing the space for my next client.
I’m creating a fragrant, ambient, environment because I want you to feel welcome as soon as you walk in.

I’m prepping my treatment table with soft, comfortable pillows, towels and sheets because there’s no point in offering a beautiful massage if the table isn’t soft and supportive enough to melt into.

I’m warming the oil, so from the first touch you feel safe, secure and connected rather than distracted..

I’m also prepping myself. I’m not at my best when I’m tired, rushed or distracted.

So, I take my time to process the work I’ve done with each client in turn.

I regulate my own nervous system with space to breathe, slow down and relax my body and to quieten my mind.

I do what is required to be present with you during your session and meet you where you are.

Spring is the time to bring in the new and to create space by letting go of things that drain and leave us feeling negative.

Social connection is vital for a balanced life and maybe now is the time to prioritise the relationships that have more benefits and connections that really fulfill, and let the others just fall away.

Use the extra time and energy to open up yourself to people who allow you to feel like you and bring more positivity and kindness into your life.

I’ve noticed when people move freely, their thoughts soften and tend to flow more naturally. This is because movement is a felt, not a thinking state.

When we pay attention to how our body moves and what we are feeling, it gives permission to slow down and truly listen.

Somatic awareness gives us the skills to understand our needs.

The 4 Elements Somatic meditation teaches you these skills.

It’s a four week program based on the Four Elements of water, air, fire and earth created to help your body remember calm.

Learn about Nervous System Regulation - discover how to down and up regulate to create a sense of balance.

We explore mindful breathing, seated somatic movement and grounding exercises.
Starts April 1 2026
Wednesdays 7:30 to 8:00 p.m.
£30 (sign up early for early bird deal!)

Zoom sessions are recorded and sent to you the following day.
You will be able to see me but not each other and the recording will be the same

When my client describes ‘knots’ or tension, I look at the bigger picture and I work wisely with their body.

I find the right depth for you to -
Allow the nervous system to make the decision to enter the rest and repair state, helping you tissues to release tension.
The key is not to fix muscles, it takes a systemic/wholebody approach.

This includes muscular, nervous, hormones, circulation and lymphatic systems.

So if you’re investing in massage, make sure it’s working on multiple systems throughout your body. This space is where I share what I’ve learned - and I’m so glad you’re here. If you have any questions, head to the DMs.

This is how we experience progress.

The nervous system loves repetition of success.

Anxiety and pain shift when the body experiences repeated safety - this is why gradual and steady progress over time is vital especially if you’ve experienced burnout, anxiety or chronic pain.

Change happens slowly over time with support, but starts from within.

If you’re going to invest in massage therapy - make it count.

When my client describes ‘knots’ or tension, I look at the bigger picture and I work wisely with their body.

I find the right depth for them to release.
This allows the nervous system to make the decision to enter the rest and repair state, helping your tissues to release tension.
Muscles are only one part of the story, it takes a systemic/wholebody approach to recover.

Muscular, nervous, hormones, circulation and lymphatic systems.
And the habits, conscious and unconscious thoughts and routines in between your treatment sessions.

So if you’re investing in massage, make sure it’s working on multiple systems throughout your body.
This space is where I share what I’ve learned - and I’m so glad you’re here. If you have any questions, head to the DMs.

Grounding isn’t woo woo it’s a useful practical tool
It’s a way to slow down your busy busy brain & release physical tension
Bare feet on the ground helps you check in with your body, notice the sensations and focus on the here and now moment.

This is a live recording of the regular program I offer that explores mindful breathing, seated somatic movement and grounding exercises. You can learn about Nervous System Regulation and discover how to down and up regulate to create a sense of balance.

I’m exploring ways to find some space in my busy head, without distracting my brain by numbing to avoid my thoughts..

Right now, I really need a quiet space, time to slow down & soothe my nervous system. I’d love you to drop me a note in the comments about what works for you. This is not about the end result, or tiring myself out, but creating something of my own, just for me, not for others approval. I’ve been so precious about this fabric & I’ve had it forever, & I love it, but I had no idea what to do with it, so I’ve decided to make something slowly & carefully that I can enjoy having around when I’m done.

Our Story

I absolutely love what I do for my living. My training as a holistic therapist started nearly twenty years ago. For me, being a therapist is as much about allowing people to feel as comfortable and as at ease as possible as soon as they walk in to my clinic. Massage or reflexology might be why they book to see me, but they are only going to get a great treatment if they feel happy enough to have a conversation with me, take a breath, slow down and find their space before they get on the table for their treatment. I opened The Therapy Room six years ago. Massage is my real passion and I take my ongoing training and professional development very seriously. I have regular one to one clinical support sessions and get plenty of massage myself. I don’t specialise in one type of client or condition. I feel it is important as a therapist to remember massage is not about knots and specific muscle groups, but about people, everyone of them different. They may come for their first session with a stiff and sore shoulder, but my job is to let them unravel and let go of what they need to in their own way. I have lots of clients with chronic health conditions and I love being part of their support network on their journey to manage their condition.
