Awesome Hugs Beauty and Wellness Therapy

You’ll smell it the moment you walk into my studio…
You’ll smell it when I hug you…
And honestly, I’ve usually got one or two tucked away in my bag wherever I go.

I genuinely love my essential oil sprays… and anyone who knows me knows I use them throughout the day, depending on what my body and mind need in that moment.

Unwind… when my nervous system feels frazzled.
Sunshine… uplifting when my energy dips.
Grounding… when my head feels busy.
Pure Focus… when my brain needs a wee nudge.

They’re not just there to smell nice. They’re used with intention.

And it turns out there’s real science behind this too…

A 2023 study published in Frontiers in Neuroscience found that older adults exposed to a variety of essential oil scents every night for six months experienced a 226% increase in cognitive capacity, along with improved function in a key brain pathway.

That’s because scent goes straight to the brain’s memory and emotion centres. No detour. No thinking. Just a direct line in.

This is what we call olfactory enrichment… gently feeding the brain through smell.

And honestly… once you start using real essential oils, it’s hard to go back.
Your body knows the difference.

Synthetic scents can overwhelm the nervous system and, over time, they’re just not kind to your health. Natural essential oils support, soften, and work with your body instead of against it.

Once you feel that shift… there’s no un-feeling it 💜

Your body and brain are always listening… sometimes all they need is the right signal.

As we come to the end of another year…
I want to gently remind you, beautiful souls, of something really important.

You were never broken.
You were never behind.
You were never missing anything.

You are already ready.
Already worthy.
Already loved.

I see so many of you carrying so much… pushing on, holding it together, believing they need to fix themselves before they’re allowed to rest or feel happy.

But everything you’re looking for… the peace, the softness, the sense of coming home… has always lived within you.

As we move towards a new year, let this be your permission to soften.
To stop striving.
To listen inward.

And if January feels like a time you’d love a little extra support… a safe space to rest, reconnect, and be gently held… you’re so welcome in my space. No pressure. Just an invitation.

Thank you for being here.
Thank you for allowing me to share this journey with you.

My love and hugs, from my heart to yours 🤍

Hey my lovelies ❤️

If you’re still looking for a Christmas gift and feeling a bit stuck… there is still time until Friday 🎄

I know so many of us don’t want to give “stuff” anymore. We want to give something that actually means something. Something that says I see you, I care, you matter.

That’s exactly why I created Awesome Hugs.

Everything I make and use in my treatments is created with love, intention and safety at the heart of it. My products are plant-based, gentle and non-toxic… with
• no parabens
• no SLS
• no mineral oils
• no synthetic fragrances or colours

They’re kind to sensitive skin, suitable for people going through treatment, and trusted enough to be used by cancer patients, charities, and at the Beatson Hospital wellbeing centre. That still humbles me every single day.

So when you gift an Awesome Hugs voucher or product, you’re not just giving a present.
You’re giving comfort.
You’re giving calm.
You’re giving someone a moment where they feel held, cared for, and not alone.

Perfect for someone who’s had a heavy year… or for someone who always looks after everyone else and never themselves.

If your heart’s nudging you and you’re not sure what to choose, just message me. I’ll help you pick the right thing with love 🤍

You didn’t find this by accident.

Something in you is tired.
Not just physically… but deep in your bones.
Maybe your skin has been flaring up.
Maybe your body feels heavy or on edge.
Maybe you’re holding it all together on the outside, while inside you’re craving softness.

You’ve learned how to survive.
How to get on with things.
How to be strong for everyone else.
But feeling safe… feeling held…
that might feel unfamiliar.

And yet… something in you knows life can be kinder.

You might not be able to explain it, but there’s a spark in you that hasn’t gone out.
A knowing.
A softness.
A quiet voice that says, there has to be another way.

Often the body speaks before the mind catches up.
Skin flares.
Breath tightens.
Sleep becomes restless.
Pain appears where words were never allowed to go.

This isn’t your body failing you.
It’s your body asking to be listened to.

This work exists for moments like this.
For people who need a place where they don’t have to explain themselves.
Where they don’t need fixing.
Where they’re allowed to soften safely.

Everything here is created with one intention…
to help your body feel safe enough to heal.

The skincare is gentle, plant-based, and pH-balanced.
The therapies are slow, intuitive, and grounded in both science and presence… because healing isn’t just skin or muscles or emotions.
It’s the whole human.

And when you sit here… you’ll feel it.

You’ll feel seen.
You’ll feel loved.
You’ll feel your breath soften without trying.

Many people are sent here by someone who cares about them.
A mum.
A sister.
A friend who says, you need this.

Because this isn’t just a treatment.
It’s a return to yourself.
A remembering.
A hug your nervous system has been craving.

If you’re here, some part of you is ready.
Ready to soften.
Ready to be held.
Ready to come home to yourself.

That’s what this space is for.

Sending hugs and healing light 💜

If this spoke to you, my door is open.

Lovely… can I ask for your help today?

There’s been a wave of women coming to me these last few weeks who have been living with pain for weeks… some for months… trying to hold it all together on their own. And honestly, it breaks my heart every time I hear it.

No one should be suffering in silence… not when there are ways to ease the pain and help the body find its way back to balance.

I’ve been doing this work for over 18 years and I’ve seen what’s possible when we support the mind, body and spirit together. I’ve watched women go from constant discomfort to relief. Some have even gone on to full recovery. I’ve helped cancer patients, chronic illness warriors, mums, carers, and so many souls who just needed someone to see them… hear them… and guide them back to themselves.

Your body has an intelligence that is always trying to heal you. Sometimes it just needs a little help, a loving hand, a safe space and the right tools… and that’s what I’m here for.

So please… don’t struggle on your own. And if someone you love is going through it, don’t let them struggle either. Send them my way. I will take care of them as if they were my own.

If you or someone you care about is in pain… message me. Let’s talk about what’s going on and see how I can help bring some relief.

✨ Send me a message if you’d like support.
✨ Tag or share this with someone who needs to know they’re not alone.

Sending healing and blessings to you all 🙏🏽🤗
