🌿 Wellness Wednesday – Healing Meals with Michelle 🌿

Tonight’s dish took my taste buds on holiday — Moroccan Chicken & Chickpeas with Cauliflower Rice 🥘

Full of warming spices, lean protein, and fibre to keep you feeling satisfied (and a little smug that you made something this healthy actually taste good!).

✨ Chickpeas for that lovely plant protein boost
✨ Chicken for strength and staying power
✨ Cauliflower rice – because sometimes we just need a lighter option that still feels like comfort food

Healthy, hearty, and full of flavour — no sad salads here! 💚

Just like in the clinic, it’s all about balance, nourishment, and healing from the inside out 🌿

🔥 Therapy Thursday – The Human Burrito Edition 🔥

Why break a sweat at the gym when you can wrap yourself in my infrared sauna blanket 🌯?

30 minutes = stress melted, muscles relaxed, circulation boosted… and zero guilt for ignoring the ironing, the emails, or that thing you should be doing. 😏💦

Relax, sweat, glow, repeat. Your body (and your inner diva) will thank you. 💪✨

🌿 Wellness Wednesday – Turkey Stir-Fry Edition 🥢

Tonight’s plate: rainbow veg, brown rice, lean turkey… basically a meal that says, “Yes, you can be healthy AND taste buds-approved.”

💪 Turkey = muscles that won’t quit.
🥕 Veg = fibre, vitamins, and a splash of “look at me, I’m fancy!”
🍚 Brown rice = slow-burn energy so you can avoid raiding the biscuit tin.

Healthy, tasty, cheeky… and garlic-approved (your breath might complain, but your body will cheer).

🍂 Well, here we are – November!
The clocks have gone back, the evenings are darker, and somehow your shoulders are already up round your ears.

If your body’s starting to grumble louder than the boiler, it’s time for a tune-up.
A session can loosen the stiffness, calm the mind, and help you glide (not groan) into winter.

Because let’s face it — you can’t pour from an empty hot-water bottle. 😉

Loaded with courgette, spinach, a dollop of Greek yoghurt, and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds for a bit of crunch magic.

Healthy, hearty, and honestly… pretty blooming tasty 😋💚

✨ What a brilliant day at the Lightcliffe Mind Body Soul Fayre ✨

I’ve been sharing a little Emmett magic today and meeting some lovely new faces (and a few familiar ones too!).

Here’s Andrew — he came in with tight hips, and just look at that face after his short Emmett session! 😄
That moment of relief and surprise never gets old.

If you’ve never experienced the Emmett Technique before, days like this are the perfect taster — gentle, fast, and incredibly effective. 💫

✨ All set up and ready to go at the Lightcliffe Mind, Body & Spirit Fayre! ✨

Hoping to spread a little Emmett magic today — helping ease those aches, improve movement, and leave people feeling just that bit lighter. 💫

It’s always lovely to see familiar faces and meet new ones, so if you’re here, come and say hello — I’d love to have a chat and tell you more about how the Emmett Technique can help.

Let’s make it a wonderful day! 🌿

It’s been a scar therapy kind of day! ✂️✨
Scars — we’ve all got them. Some from surgery, some from accidents, and some from our more “questionable life choices” (we’ll leave those stories for another day 😉).

But did you know that even small scars can affect how your body moves, feels, and functions? They can tug, pull, ache, or just make things feel… not quite right.

Today I’ve been working my magic hands 👐 on scars old and new — easing tightness, softening tissue, and helping bodies feel more comfortable again. Clients have left saying things like “I didn’t realise how much that was holding me back!”

So if your scar’s being a bit of a drama queen, maybe it’s time for a gentle chat with some scar therapy. 💬✨

One of my clients asked what I actually eat… well, here’s a peek! 😋

Flaxseed and cottage cheese pancakes 🥞 — sounds a bit too healthy to be tasty, doesn’t it? But trust me… blooming delicious!

Topped with Greek yoghurt and a heap of juicy blueberries, this beauty ticks all the boxes — high protein, high fibre, and absolutely no guilt attached.

Proof that you can eat well and enjoy every mouthful.
(And yes, I did lick the plate – don’t judge! 🤭)
