I’ve been a bit quiet since before Christmas, and January feels like the right time for that.

There’s so much pressure around New Year resolutions, but winter is really about slowing down, resting and gently finding your energy again…not rushing.

This is when softer treatments like foot reflexology, massage, lymphatic drainage and aromatherapy can really help the body feel calmer, lighter and more balanced.

I’m looking forward to warmer days and that gradual return of energy, at its own pace …😊

Happy New Year! ✨

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a gentle start to January.

I’ll be back at work next week. January bodies are definitely feeling the festive excess, so I’ll be easing people back into feeling lighter and more comfortable again.

This before & after is from a client I worked with last summer who was dealing with IBS pain and bloating.
I used manual lymphatic drainage, which is a very gentle, slow massage that helps move excess fluid and support digestion. Even after just one session they felt a big difference.

One session can help, but for longer-lasting results it’s usually recommended to have a short course of 4–6 sessions, especially when dealing with ongoing bloating or discomfort.

If you’re feeling heavy or not quite yourself after the holidays, you know where I am 💛

December always brings a mix of cosy moments and a bit of chaos 🎄✨

If you’ve been feeling more tired, tense, puffy or mentally full lately, you’re definitely not the only one.

Colder weather, stress, heavier foods and less daylight all play a part.

I’m here if your body needs a little grounding, calm or care as we move into the last weeks of the year 💛

Massage, reflexology, Manual lymphatic drainage…whatever supports you best❣️

Send me a dm or go to my website for more info.

Happy Friday! 😊

Ever wondered why you might feel more puffy, tired or sluggish towards the end of the year?

Colder weather, slower routines, heavier foods, stress and less movement can all make the lymphatic system a little sluggish… and sometimes it needs a gentle nudge.

That’s where Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) comes in.

It’s a very soft, rhythmic technique (not deep pressure!) that helps:

✨ reduce water retention + bloating

✨ ease that “heavy” feeling

✨ support immunity during winter

✨ calm the nervous system

✨ boost energy + flow

Most people are surprised by how relaxing and soothing it feels …and how much lighter they are afterwards!

With December just around the corner and the year winding down, it’s a lovely time to give your body a bit of support before things get busy again.

If you’re curious about MLD or want to try a session, feel free to message me 💛

Random coffee pic from my Buenos Aires trip earlier this year…but honestly, who doesn’t need a little “¡Buen día!” energy on a chilly Manchester Monday? 😄☀️

Cold autumn vibes 🍁but looks like the sun is trying its best today 🥰

Have a lovely day!

🌸 Did you know you can add aromatherapy to any treatment for just +£5?

Essential oils can completely transform the experience helping you relax more deeply, release stress, or feel uplifted and energised depending on the blend.

Some favourites I use are:

🌿 Lavender – calming and soothing

🍋 Citrus oils – refreshing and energising

🌹 Floral blends – comforting and balancing

It’s a simple way to make your massage, reflexology or lymphatic drainage session even more special ✨

DM me to add aromatherapy to your next treatment, or book directly through the link in my bio 💆‍♀️

🍂 Autumn is here, and it’s the perfect season to slow down and reconnect 🍁

Reflexology is one of my favourite ways to support the body 👣working through specific points on the feet that correspond to different systems in the body.
And it’s sooooo relaxing!

It can help with:

✨ Improving sleep
✨ Reducing stress and tension
✨ Boosting circulation and energy
✨ Supporting long term balance and wellbeing

Sometimes the smallest steps, like taking time for your feet, make the biggest difference for your whole body. 🌿

DM me for more info or to book your next reflexology session 🦶

Have a great Monday! 😊
