I definitely appreciate my hands. Being a Massage Therapist an all. 😆

It’s Tuesday, so that can only mean one thing…
It’s massage day 🤗

I still have some availability later in the week, including Saturday, which will be my last date in before my Easter break.

Si if you’ve been carrying a lot or holding tension, I’m here to help you put some of that weight down before the Easter festivities begin.

Now is your time to book. 🤍

If last week was all about hitting the ground running, this week is about being intentional with my time and energy.

It may be the week the schools break up,
but I’m leaving behind the mad dash to get everything done.

I know it will all get done in time.
With a full week of massage ahead, I’m determined not to be a hot, broken mess by Saturday, especially with a full day before I take a 2-week massage break.

So this week, I’m slowing it down where I can.
✨ Using my Ten Minutes Peace rollerball.

✨ Taking every opportunity to enjoy the blossom before it’s gone.

✨ And getting outside with our newly released walking meditation from , helping me clear my head.

Because how I move through the week matters just as much as what gets done.

How are you choosing to move through your week?

Today is the perfect day to launch my new Wind Down Zone collab with Mockingbird Makes.

Happy Spring Equinox. 🌸

Walking is such a simple thing, yet it can be one of the most powerful ways to support our health and wellbeing. And still, when life feels full or our minds are busy, it’s often the first thing we overlook. For me, walking has always been a go-to. A way to clear my head, let off steam, and find c...

Today marks the Spring Equinox. 🌷

More light. More energy. A sense that things are starting to shift.

You can feel it… in the brighter mornings, the blossom, the fresh air.

For me, this season is always an invitation to step outside. To clear my head, let off steam, and find clarity when I feel stuck.

So it felt like the perfect time to share this…

A new Wind Down Zone walking meditation, guided by Shannon Reed of .

Designed to help you step out of your head and back into your body, whilst immersed in the beauty of nature.

As Aromatherapist, we learn this in training, but if you like to buy essential oils, the floral varieties are never cheap. So if you find a company selling them at a low price, know thew aren't the real deal.

Have you ever wondered why some floral essential oils are SO expensive compared to other oils?

This is because the number of flowers required to produce 1kg of oils varies enormously between different plants.

Some flowers such as Rose are very low yield, meaning they contain very little essential oil. This means it takes huge amounts of petals to produce a small quantity of oil. Some flowers are seasonal, some require very specific growing conditions, and some must be harvested by hand at specific times to maximise their yield. Jasmine for instance is hand-picked at night or early in the morning when its oil content is at its highest. Fresh petals also produce the best quality oil, and so must be processed quickly. All of these factors therefore contribute to higher costs.

The following helps illustrates why certain oils are more expensive: -

Flower to oil ratios (to produce 1kg of essential oil)

🌿Rose otto - 3300 to 5000 kg of fresh petals
🌿Jasmine - 1000 kg of blossom (3.6 to 7.6 million flowers)
🌿Neroli – 1000 to 1400 kg of flowers
🌿Melissa (Lemon Balm) – 7000 kg of herb

It’s always useful to take note and compare pricing when shopping around for oils as price can be an important indicator of quality and authenticity.

For instance, if you see a 10ml bottle of pure Melissa essential oil for less than £10 compared to other suppliers selling 5ml for over £40 then questions should be asked.

Although relatively expensive these gorgeous floral oils tend to be highly concentrated so a little does go a very long way. Alternatively, a good way to enjoy these oils for less, is to buy a dilution. We offer both the pure oils and a selection of diluted oils on our website. Dilutions contain the pure essential oil diluted at 5% in Jojoba. Head to our website to learn more. https://tinyurl.com/4mx4zw9v

Ahh, I love days like this. Sunshine, spring flowers, blossom everywhere. It fills me with hope… and we all need that right now.

Getting out in nature has always been the tonic I need. And after a busy Tuesday juggling clients and parenting, I’m especially grateful for a little time to myself.

I’ve become really intentional about making that time, because I know how much of a difference it makes.

Today was sauna day, but honestly, just being able to get outside in the sunshine can do so much for our mental wellbeing.

And it’s exactly why I’m getting ready to release the next Wind Down Zone meditation.

This one is going to be perfect for this time of year.

It might be just what you need to step outside, clear your head, and reset.

Morning! I’m already at the laptop today as there’s lots to juggle this week ( especially with only two weeks to go until the Easter holidays).

As I mean business today, I’ve started with a high-protein, high-fibre breakfast and my Think Clearly rollerball by my side. Later, I’ll have a sniff of Get Focused.

Right now though, the breakfast, the rollerball, and the thumping bassline are giving me all the energy I need.

What does your week look like? And what are you doing to set yourself up for a successful one?

To All Mama's carrying heavy loads.

I see you. 💕

You’re not alone on this one.

As a mum of one who parents solo, resting can feel like a battle in my head. There’s always something to do. Something that needs attention. Something that could keep the needle moving.

Rest feels easier after a busy period.
Or when my body is crying out for it.
But choosing to pause when there’s still a long list waiting?

That’s the harder practice.

With Mother’s Day tomorrow, I’m reminding myself that I deserve care too.
So to all the busy mums reading this, remember rest isn’t just for when you’ve reached breaking point.

Or something you delay until the next holiday.
You deserve it simply because you are human. ✨

Anyone else find rest harder than it should be?

13/03/2026

None of us are immune.
A hard day. Too much to juggle. The state of the world.

Our phones are designed to grab our attention and this certainly doesn’t help with our habit of scrolling 🤦🏿‍♀️

But what if they could? 🤔

Tonight, use your phone to benefit you.
Download the latest sleep meditation in the Made by Pure Hands Wind Down Zone (a collaboration with ) and let your phone help you switch off and drift into a peaceful night’s sleep.

Just remember to place it out of harm’s way when you’re finished.
That’s if you can stay away. 😉
