I just went to a huge networking event.

Pushing myself out of my comfort zone and back into a world I used to frequent.

I went to support a wonderful group of ladies who I see regularly and for me supporting women in business is important.

I learnt something from this event though:

1. It doesn’t matter how many times you have met someone, they may still not remember you. (A massive bug bear of mine!) 🐻

2. No matter how you think you are explaining your business, it may not be being received in the way you think. 🤔

3. I am not cute! (Although when described this way, it was clear I am not. I pitch for warm, friendly and safe. The person who described me as cute, ironically now does not think I am any of the above – funny!) 😂

Interesting and at least it gave me something to talk to you about and raise a smile.

Isn’t there a film with Pammy Anderson where the catch line is “Don’t call me babe!”? Well now you know, “Don’t call me cute!”

I literally just said in my head, "yes Boden" and tapped the advert to see every other woman comment on the "normal" sized model. I love Boden clothes and I am often miffed at their lack of representation - is this a lasting change? For now I am grateful. Representation matters!

I often explain to people that we completely overhauled the garden before the treatment room was there. These photos show how much!

Sometimes the body whispers before it shouts.

A quiet pelvic ache.

One hip working harder than the other which is common.

It's a sense of imbalance you keep ignoring.

This isn’t a flaw. It’s adaptation within the body.

The pelvis sits at the crossroads of the body, where forces from spine, legs, fascia, and nervous system meet.

When life is busy, stress is high, or movement patterns repeat, the body subtly redistributes load to keep you going.

Fascia responds by holding, supporting, organising.

Helpful at first - tiring over time.

Persistent discomfort is often the body asking for ease, not more effort.

Gentle bodywork particularly MFR (Myo Fascial Release) offers space for the system to soften and rebalance without force or fixing.

Slow, respectful listening allows the body to update patterns it no longer needs.

Support isn’t about being broken. unless you are broken and then it is! 🤣

It’s about choosing a little more comfort and balance.

If this resonates, you’re welcome to book when it feels right.

Burning all bridges comes from military history but there are ways that you can use this strategy in your everyday life:

- Leave a job without a job to go to
- Walk out of a relationship with only a bag packed and cut all contact
- Book the next flight out of the country to relocate as it is too expensive to return

It is a drastic option but if you feel you keep falling back on the same safety net it is an option. Make sure you have a strong support network around and do it with some thought!

I had to take a photo of this. As most of you know, Humphrey is not allowed in the treatment room while I am doing treatments but he has started to get a lot more stubborn. So he literally hid under the bed while I was cleaning this morning. 🤣🤣🤣

He also REFUSED to move during a massage with a client who is a dog trainer. Thank goodness they are dog lovers!

It isn't cute Humphrey - it is RUDE!

Hi Gang,

How the devil are you?

March is rolling on and I have a little availability left for massage appointments this month.

If your body’s been asking for some attention, this is a gentle nudge to listen.

Massage works best as an ongoing treatment – helping you move better, feel calmer, and stay on top of those everyday aches before they shout.

Let’s get you booked in at littlecottagemassage.co.uk. 💆‍♀️✨

I look forward to welcoming you.

Love,

Denise x

Unhappy in your job? You are not alone, approach your search from a position of positivity and you will notice things start to change.
What do you love about your job?
What would you keep?
What would you get rid of?
What environment do you like working in?

Not stressed? Are you sure? Take the time to analyse what is causing you stress and what you can do about it.
Genuinely not stressed? As you were. Please share your secret.

Massage is a conversation which goes beyond the initial connection. In the same way that friendship builds so does the relationship between me and your body. We being to understand each other better over time and with this your treatments deepen and become the best possible treat for you.

As one of my clients said to me tonight, "You really know how to live!"

It is not rock and roll but I like it! 🤣

I like the fact the talk is being given to Dr Jeffrey DeMarco. He is either terribly British with a name like Jeffrey (said in zippies voice) or a little bit swish and mysterious and Italian.

I'll let you know.
