Hi new followers and existing followers...

🌸 Let’s Talk About Self-Care & Those Little Voices 🌸

So, you’ve liked or followed Crown to Sole Ltd — thank you! 💛

Maybe you’ve thought about booking a wellness treatment… but then those little voices start to creep in:

👎 I’m self-conscious
👎 I’m nervous or anxious
👎 What if I don’t like it?
👎 I’ve never had a treatment before
👎 I don’t have time

Sound familiar? Let’s look at it another way 👇

💫 I’m self-conscious
Honestly, there’s no need to be. We all have bits we don’t love — wobbly bits, stretch marks, stubbly legs — me included! There’s no judgment here. I see beyond all that. My space is warm, private, and designed for you to feel safe and comfortable.
💫 I’m nervous or anxious
Totally normal! New things can be daunting, but once you’ve tried it, it’s not new anymore. You’re even welcome to visit the treatment room first, just to put your mind at ease.
💫 What if I don’t like it?
That’s okay too. At least you tried something new for yourself — that’s already a win! During your consultation, we’ll chat and find what truly suits you.
💫 I’ve never had a treatment before
Then now’s the perfect time to start! 🌿
Self-care has to begin somewhere — and you absolutely deserve to feel good.
💫 I don’t have time
That’s often the biggest sign you need this. Before burnout hits, take time for yourself. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
Self-care isn’t selfish — it’s essential.
You deserve to thrive, not just survive 💛✨

Hello new Followers...

🌿 A Little About Me 🌿
Hello, I’m Karine 💜
Before becoming a Holistic Massage Therapist, Reflexologist, and Reiki Practitioner, I worked in Health and Social Care for 25 years. I was a workaholic — driving up and down the country, always on call, constantly logged into work emails the moment I got home. Life and work had no balance, and I knew something had to change before I completely burnt out.
That’s when I discovered the transformative power of touch, relaxation, and gentle therapies — not just for clients, but for myself. 🌸
I truly believe in creating a calm, nurturing space where women can switch off, feel safe, and take time just for themselves. Life can feel busy, stressful, and overwhelming — and I love being able to offer a sanctuary to reset.
For me, this isn’t just a job — it’s my passion. Seeing someone walk in tense, tired, or stressed, and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more like themselves again, is the most rewarding feeling. ✨
Every woman deserves a soft place to land and a moment to recharge — and I feel honoured to provide that in my cosy treatment room in Thorngumbald. 💆‍♀️

💜 Thank you for letting me do what I love every day.

✨️ Happy New Year ✨

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you — truly — for your continued trust and support. It means so much to me, and I’m incredibly grateful to be part of your self-care journey.

The start of a new year is a gentle opportunity to pause, reset, and care for yourself from the inside out, especially after the busyness of life and the festive season. I hope 2026 brings you health, calm, and moments just for you.

Thank you again for choosing me and for allowing me to support your wellbeing. I’m really looking forward to welcoming you back in 2026, Karine ###

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful, relaxing New Year. Thank you so much for being my clients — I can’t wait to welcome you back in January. Karine ###

🌿 Aromatherapy: How It Really Works 🌿

Ladies, let’s talk about aromatherapy! If you’ve ever wondered how essential oils actually work in the body, here’s a simple breakdown to help you understand the magic behind those little bottles.

✨ Aromatherapy + Your Body = A Powerful Connection
Aromatherapy works by using essential oils to stimulate both your sense of smell and your skin. This triggers reactions in the limbic system—the part of your brain that influences emotions, memory, hormones, and even heart rate.

💨 How Inhalation Works
When you breathe in essential oils:
• Your brain gets activated: Odor molecules travel through the olfactory system and send signals straight to the limbic system.
• Your emotional center responds: This area of the brain controls emotions, memories, hormones, heart rate, and blood pressure.
• Your body reacts: Depending on the oil, you may feel calmer, more energized, less stressed, or even notice changes in breathing or heart rate.

✨ How Skin Absorption Works
When essential oils are applied to your skin (always diluted with a carrier oil!):
• They pe*****te the skin: Essential oil molecules are tiny, allowing them to pass through the outer layers of the skin.
• They enter the bloodstream: Once they reach the dermis, these molecules can enter your blood vessels.
• They circulate through the body: From there, they travel to different body systems—and some can even cross into the brain.

🌸 The takeaway: Whether you inhale them or apply them topically, essential oils can influence your body in real, meaningful ways. That’s why aromatherapy can be such a powerful tool for relaxation, mood support, and overall wellness.
