Honest answers please, particularly for followers not keen on home visits. If I arranged a day or evening renting a therapy room in Arnold/Mapperley, who would be keen to book? Rates may be slightly more to cover costs.

l hope to add something new soon... Something to help anyone with anxiety and panic attacks.

Not a new treatment.

Booking a massage is still a great way to bring calm.

This will just be some hopefully helpful advice and techniques for you to take away.

So watch this space in the near future!

Moroccan sacred candle back massage .

I haven't spotlighted any of my therapies for a while.
I haven't done this one for a while, until I did it for a lady a week ago, and I remembered then just how enjoyable it is to perform and for the client.

A back massage with a difference.

As it has its roots in Moroccan hammams, the routine starts with the exfoliation mitts...Then comes the hot towel, in preparation for an olive soap back wash... And a rinse off with hot towelling gloves....
.. And now comes your massage. Using warm candle wax. The Rose Otto scent of the candle is sublime. All the time listening to the rhythmic Moroccan music.

The smell, the sounds, the feel of it. Why not try this experience, without leaving home?

Several people have left reviews about it - check out what they said.

And I'll wait to hear from you.

I've used oils, I've used powders, I've even used candle wax, but I've never used creams for massage, and I've had this on my shelf for a few months... Who's going to be first to try?

Quite a good start with January bookings...Who's been putting it off and would like to get my February appointments off to a flyer? Please spread the word too.

For planning purposes, I will from now on only be taking bookings for dates over a week ahead.

Last night I had the privilege of working with a new client who felt she needed some intense therapy and went for not one but two full body massages in the same appointment. Two very different styles, one a Himalayan salt massage, and the other a Swedish holistic.

We all know that full body doesn't actually mean full body. There are obviously areas we don't work on. If you suffer with things like sciatica, you might expect some work on hips and glutes if the client is comfortable with it, but that's the limit.

So a full body is typically back, probably including neck and shoulders, maybe the collar, then the arms and legs.

But did you know the abdomen can also be included? The Swedish in which I trained, with the Beauty Guild/Guild of Holistic Therapists, also includes a section on the abdomen.

Quite a short section compared to the overall massage, but potentially useful. It has the advantage of working the bowels in their natural direction and helping the natural rhythm. And my client last night fed back that she found it really soothing, particularly with the warmth of the hands.

How do we maintain modesty in this case?

Normally the client is covered by one sheet, revealing only the part being worked on at any time. But the abdomen is in the middle, so how do we achieve this?

Simple. We bring up an additional sheet from feet upwards, as the main sheet rolls up with it. The new sheet has now covered your lower half. Now you can roll up the main sheet until you have a secure bandeau, and now you have the abdomen all ready to work on!

Covering up is simply a reversal of the above.

It's optional, it's not for everyone, but this client is already very familiar with massage and had no hesitation in having the full experience.

So that's about as true to being a full body as you can get, without the abdomen getting the neglect it sometimes does with some therapists.

How do my lovely followers feel about that?

A really worthwhile weekend spent bouncing texts back and forth with a new enquirer.
Not only do I find performing massage rewarding, but I also get a buzz out of answering questions about what I provide, how it might help, how we organise it, what it will involve. I love explaining it, whether to those new to it or to those who have been used to it elsewhere.
And if all that results in the enquirer making a booking, I know I've gained their trust.
So if you have any questions, text me, email me, WhatsApp me or Facebook Messenger me.
Always happy to answer.

Many people will have a massage to help physical problems, but not many realise it can also help mentally too.

Very few would even give it a thought to help with their emotional state.

But just as I do when asked if it will help this or that physical condition, I googled massage along with different mental health states. It has also been a hot topic on some of the therapist forums I engage with.

The current topic is how it can help grief. Many people coming to terms with a bereavement have unexpectedly found massage to help them.

It can also help with anxiety.

Things which I see people struggling with regularly, and who I believe would benefit from trying it.

Maybe also people with body image worries.

Or who have suffered some kind of abuse.

It can be a big step to trust your therapist in these cases.

And for me as a male therapist, I have to work even harder at gaining that trust. It's hard enough to get clients who DON'T have any of these concerns.
And as you have to let me into your home to work, that just makes it even harder.

But it can also be a therapy.

In my other job by day, people tell me they feel they can approach me and talk to me.

I just hope clients get that same vibe.

A happy and healthy 2026 to my big band of followers and my little band of clients.

Hopefully this year my 'phone will be pinging from more of you wanting to make a booking 🤞
