🥞 It’s Pancake Day… and I need to know something! 🥞
Also known as Shrove Tuesday… but let’s be honest, most of us are just here for the toppings.
So here’s the important question 👇
Are you:
A️⃣ Classic lemon & sugar – simple, no messing
B️⃣ Golden syrup – sticky fingers guaranteed
C️⃣ Chocolate spread – no judgement here
D️⃣ Fresh fruit & yoghurt – trying to behave
E️⃣ Savoury – cheese, ham, maybe even a bit of chilli
You MUST pick one. No sitting on the fence.
And if you’re one of those people who flips the pancake without fear… tell me your secret because mine usually ends up folded in half pretending that was the plan all along 😏
Comment your choice below ⬇️
Let’s see which topping wins!

A little real-life moment from last week…
Last week, one of the regular gym goers mentioned her lower back was playing up on a particular machine. Nothing dramatic, just that familiar “it’s been annoying me for a while” comment. I treated her there and then using just three Emmett moves. No fuss. I stood her up… 💥bish 💥bash 💥bosh suddenly her lower back was moving far more freely.
Fast forward to this week.
Her husband quietly pulled me to one side and said thank you. Apparently, his wife hadn’t complained about her back once all weekend and that, by his account, was unheard of.
Sometimes it doesn’t take long sessions or complicated work.
It takes the right touch, in the right place, at the right
The body does the rest.

Wellness Wednesday | Healing Meals with Michelle 🌿
This one’s proof that healing meals can still have a bit of fire 🔥
🌶 Pork mince chilli with mixed beans – protein to keep you full, fibre to support digestion
🥑 Guacamole – healthy fats for satiety and blood sugar balance
🌽 Corn on the cob – fibre, energy, and a bit of joy on the plate
🌽 Tortilla chips – because restriction helps no one
Real food. Proper flavour. No diet nonsense.
Meals that satisfy and support the body — not beige diet food or sad salads.
Healing meals should feel good and taste good.

Not long now, im really looking forward to attending the Mind Body Soul Fayre ✨
I’ll be there sharing the Emmett Technique, a gentle, hands-on approach that helps reduce pain, ease tension, and restore movement, often with surprisingly quick results.
Come and have a chat or find out how it could help you.

Wellness Wednesday | Healing Meals with Michelle 🌿

Today’s healing meal was homemade, high-protein, and way healthier than the takeaway version.
Clues…
🥩 spiced, slow-cooked protein
🥬 crunchy fresh salad
🌯 wrapped, warm, and very satisfying
🔥 zero post-takeaway regret
Any guesses what I was making? 🤔👇
I’ll reveal it later…
Because healing meals don’t have to be boring, they just need to work with your body, not against it 💚

Its Motivational Monday

Thought I would get some housework done in-between clients but .....Apparently cleaning the shower counts as extreme sport now 🚿😩
One minute I’m being all productive…
Next minute my back has decided it’s absolutely not on board with this lifestyle choice.
Currently glued to a hot water bottle like it’s life support 🔥
Which is helping… but let’s be honest, this is now officially an Emmett-level situation.
Waiting for the lovely Siobhán (Emmett trainee) work her magic ✋✨
Because even therapists need therapy and backs have zero sense of humour.
Moral of the story:
✔️ Self-care is important
❌ Cleaning the shower is optional

Therapy Thursday

Today’s ear candling client arrived with his long-suffering partner in tow…
Her main complaint?
❌ “He can’t hear me”
❌ “The TV is ALWAYS too loud”
❌ “I’m fed up of repeating myself”
He, on the other hand, swears he hears just fine… especially when football is involved 🏉📺
Cue ear candlingnot a miracle cure for selective hearing (sadly 😉), but a lovely relaxing treatment that many people enjoy for that ‘clearer head’ feeling.
Verdict?
He left relaxed.
She left hopeful.
And the TV may finally get turned down a notch… maybe 😏
