Last week of February 🤍

Before we rush into March, here’s your reminder… self love doesn’t have to be dramatic.

It can look like:
✨ Saying no without over-explaining
✨ Booking the appointment
✨ Going to bed earlier
✨ Letting yourself rest without guilt
✨ Choosing what feels nourishing, not just what feels productive

As I make up the therapy bed for the week ahead, I’m thinking about the women walking through my door — tired, juggling, holding it all together.

It’s time:
✨ To check in with yourself.
✨ To ask, “What do I need right now?”
✨ To stop putting yourself last.

Let’s close February with intention, not exhaustion 🤍 I’ll be thinking of a new theme, phrase and treatment of the month!

If you’ve been meaning to book some time for yourself… this is it ✨

This week I was reminded just how powerful touch can be 💆🏽‍♀️✨

Two beautiful Indian Head Massages… two completely different experiences.

One client felt an emotional release and shed tears 🤍
Another saw colours behind closed eyes and described a deep sense of release 🌈

And here’s the thing… there is absolutely no right or wrong way to experience massage. Our nervous system and emotions can react so differently!

Sometimes it’s powerful.
Sometimes it’s emotional.
Sometimes it feels almost spiritual.
And sometimes it’s simply deeply relaxing — and that’s just as perfect 🥰

Your body responds in its own way.
Or sometimes… not in any noticeable way at all.

There’s no right or wrong. I just find it so interesting to see all the differences 💕

✨ NEW ✨ Teen Facials are now available to book online! 👏

I’m so excited to introduce these gentle, confidence-boosting treatments designed especially for ages 11–18 💛

For these facials I’ve chosen Aveeno because their formulas are kind, soothing and perfect for young, changing skin. They’re oat-based, barrier-supporting and designed to calm rather than strip 🙌🏼

We’ll also be using gorgeous Habi face masks — simple, effective and teen-skin friendly ✨

And here’s another reason I chose them…
They’re accessible. You can easily continue using these products at home without a big price tag 💸or complicated routine 💛

I want teens to leave feeling confident not just in their skin, but in knowing how to care for it properly — without chasing TikTok trends or spending a fortune.

Because while these products are available on the high street, the difference here is the experience ✨
👉Professional, caring and safe hands.
👉A calm, welcoming space.
👉And time to truly relax.

There are two options to choose from:

🌿 Mini Teen Facial
Cleanse, gentle exfoliation, light massage and moisturise — perfect for a skin refresh and little self-care moment.

🌿 Teen Facial with Face Mask
Everything above plus a soothing Habi mask and the dreamiest hair play/scalp massage while it works its magic 😌 (Yes… this is usually their favourite part.)

These facials are about building healthy habits, boosting confidence and making skincare feel nurturing — not overwhelming 🤍

Now live to book online ✨

And thank you to my daughter for holding the camera and light so we could try and film (in our own amateur way!) and to give you something to see! 😁

NEW Teen Facials are launching soon 👀

Now we have to say goodbye to Wild & Wood because they are closing 😢

BUT it’s okay - I got you!

And no… we’re not using whatever’s trending on TikTok this week 🙃

These facials are designed especially for young, sensitive skin 🌿

🌾 Oat-based, soothing products you recognise and trust
🤍 Gentle, barrier-supporting formulas
🧴 No harsh acids. No overloading the skin.

With products you already know — and can easily continue using at home.

But here’s the difference…

Applied with professional, caring and safe hands with clean tools.
In a calm space where your teen feels comfortable and pampered with a little something to take away too! 😍

Because teen skin doesn’t need 10 steps!
It needs gentle care, the right technique and a confidence boost ✨

Booking opens very soon…😃

A week in my world 🤪

This week was particularly tiring on my body… but watching this back reminded me it’s also full of tiny, beautiful, slightly chaotic pleasures — and that counts as self love too ❤️

10 beautiful clients ✨ (and 10 chances to help you feel a little better)

The weekly ‘taking Mum food shopping’… and then trying to locate her in the next aisle 👀

Making Dad buy Mum (full time carer for him) a Valentine’s card because she absolutely deserves it right now (how does she do it?!) 💌😌

All the after-school very serious phone gossip 📱😂

Dog walks & dog cuddles 🐾 - my bit of therapy!

Cat scratches 🐈‍⬛ (humbling experience)

A little vintage treasure hunting 🤎 because I don’t need it… but I do! 😂

A wander around M&S (obviously) 🛒🌹 no explanation needed.

Good food, fresh flowers, crystals & candle moments 🕯️

New wax melts — the scent of calm for me 💕 because we’re protecting the peace

Curling on the TV & all Winter Olympics 🥌 suddenly I’m fan!

Ginny & Georgia — yes I’m late to this party 🎈 no spoilers please!

Bowling with the family 🎳 I didn’t win. I’m still processing.

Valentine’s breakfast for 3 🍓 because love comes in many forms

Busy. Full. Slightly feral. Grateful.

This is the life I built along side my love and my mini me — chaos, calm, candles and all — and I wouldn’t swap it! ❤️

🤍

I know booking a massage can feel like a big step for some people.

You might be worrying about your body.
You might feel anxious about coming somewhere new.
You might not know what to expect.

So let set your worries at ease….

🩷 I welcome every woman with warmth

🩷 Everybody has a different body and everybody deserves to be loved and looked after - no judgement here.

🩷 I’ll do all the work to help your anxiety melt away

🩷 I’m here for you, and this is a safe, calm place for you.

🩷 You can talk as much or as little as you like.

🩷 You’ll be covered, comfortable, and completely respected at all times.

🩷 There is no judgement here. No pressure. No expectations.

This is why everyone secretly loves a scalp massage 😌💆🏻‍♀️

The slow hair play. The soothing touch. The way your whole body melts without you even trying 🌿✨

Scalp massage is amazing for calming your nervous system — helping you switch off, soften, and drop out of that constant “on edge” feeling we carry around.

A tiny act of self love that makes a big difference ❤️

Secret tip - add on the optional extra that is NYR Rosemary & Cedarwood hair treatment when you book — nourishing for your scalp, lovely for your hair, and ridiculously relaxing.

It’s one of those little extras that feels so much bigger than it sounds.

So if you’ve been feeling frazzled, overthinking everything, getting stress headaches or even not sleeping well, tap the link and choose an Indian Head Massage or Upper Body Massage and let me help you 💕

Can you help?

We have some bittersweet but incredibly exciting news to share, Baby Basics Northampton has officially outgrown our much loved offices.

Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve grown so much that we need a bigger home to continue our work supporting families across Northamptonshire.

We aren’t quite ready to show you the new keys just yet... stay tuned for a BIG REVEAL in the coming weeks!

We need your help, moving comes with additional costs and we’ve set a goal to raise £5,000 to help cover the costs of the transition.

No amount is too small, and every penny goes directly toward ensuring we can keep providing essentials to vulnerable newborns and their families.
