Scalp massage is one of those hidden gems… you don’t realise how much you need it until you feel it ✨

In April, as everything begins to reset and soften, it’s the perfect time to release tension and quiet a busy mind.

🤎Deeply relaxes the nervous system
🩶 Eases tension in the head, neck & jaw
🖤Supports better sleep
❤️Nourishes the scalp and hair

For me, this is the moment clients truly let go… breathing slows, thoughts soften, and the whole body melts ❤️

Include in a facial like this client, add to baby massage or as a stand alone!

Included in this month’s treatment of the month - details coming soon 🙌 OR if you’re already in my WhatsApp group you’ll have the details now!

Does this sound familiar 🤔

Try this instead:
✨ Look at your month ahead
✨ Choose your reset days in advance
✨ Book them like you would anything important
✨ Protect that time — no guilt

Whether it’s a massage, a quiet hour, or simply time to breathe…
this is how you stay balanced, not burnt out.

Your reminder: It’s not to late to look ahead 👀 Book in now for April 💫

👶🏼 I look at this photo and over 12 years have now passed, I remember just how scary everything felt. It looks peaceful right?!

The truth - I had come close to not making it, I felt weak, overwhelmed, and completely unsure of myself. Everyone else seemed to know what they were doing with a babies, it came naturally and everyone assumed I would bounce into motherhood… I didn’t.

People wanted to visit straight away. I didn’t feel ready, but I didn’t know how to say no. I would cry so much needing help, but unsure of what help I needed. ❤️‍🩹

Looking back, I wish I’d given myself more time. Just me, my husband, and our baby. Space to breathe. Space to heal. Space for self care. Space to gently find my way into motherhood.

If I could go back, I’d remind myself:
❤️ you don’t have to rush this.
❤️ you’re allowed to take your time.
❤️ you’re allowed to set boundaries and protect your peace.

And it’s not just in this situation either. We need that same care when we’re overwhelmed, starting something new, going through a breakup, healing, or simply trying to find our rhythm in life. We need to remember to give others space and thoughtful care too.

We found our way eventually and have a happy, healthy 12 year old. But it wasn’t without its worries, hurt, damage or long term effects.

Know your boundaries - where you can be flexible, and where you need to stand firm.
Those who can’t respect them don’t get to stay close.

To all the new followers or those who haven’t checked my page in a while - here’s a reminder of what Applewood is good at when it comes to treatments….

Soothing soft massage & relaxing facials 😌

Here at Applewood Wellness I see clients who prefer a lighter touch to soothe the nervous system and calm the mind. ❤️

My wellness room is warm with soft lighting, relaxing sound and welcoming to all women. 🎶

Perfect for those who want to connect the mind and body, take time out from busy lives, suffer from anxiety or find it hard to switch off, or for those who just want a quiet place to go for self care. Soft touch can also benefit those who suffer with chronic pain. 💆‍♀️

The ones who spend their lives looking after everyone else…🩷

The carers, the nurturers, the ones who give their time, energy, and heart so freely to those around them ✨

I see you.

And now it’s your turn to be looked after… to pause, to soften, to receive the same care you so effortlessly give 💆‍♀️

Every treatment is a space for you to let go, to feel held, and to be reminded that you matter too 🥰

Because the love you pour into others deserves to be poured back into you. Applewood Wellness is right here for you xx

Hot stone massage is one of those treatments that feels like your whole body can finally switch off. 🪨✨

At Applewood Wellness I love it because it goes deeper without the pain of pressure 💆‍♀️

The warmth of the stones helps tight muscles soften, allowing tension to melt away. It gently encourages the body to relax, improves circulation, and brings a sense of calm to a busy mind. 💆‍♀️

Many people leave feeling grounded, lighter, and deeply relaxed — like they’ve had a proper reset for both body and mind. 🌿

If you’ve been holding a lot lately, this is the perfect treatment to help you slow down, unwind, and reconnect with yourself. 🤍

6:30am dog walk after a very questionable night’s sleep… the perimenopause itches are REAL!
But the lighter mornings are finally here ☀️🐕

Proof that sometimes the best therapy is fresh air, a wagging tail, and pretending you’re a “morning person” for 20 minutes.

Starting your day off right can effect the rest of your day. Let’s hope this mornings fresh air helps me through the day!

Do you feel like women are meant to work, run a home, remember everyone’s birthdays, keep plants alive, drink enough water, exercise, be thin, be strong, be busy, have a social life, be everything… and somehow still be “relaxed?”😅

Today is International Women’s Day. 💛

One question I sometimes get asked is why I only work with women.

The answer (aside from not wanting to work with men!)… because women carry so much.

We hold families together.
We care for children, partners and parents.
We juggle work, homes, emotions and expectations.
And somewhere in the middle of all that, we’re expected to keep going… often without slowing down.

My space was created so women can pause. 🌿
A place where you don’t have to be the strong one, the organised one, or the one looking after everyone else.

Just for a little while, someone is looking after you.

I also think a lot about the example we set for the next generation. I have a daughter, and I don’t want her growing up believing that being constantly busy is something to strive for, or that she has to do everything for everyone.

I want her to know that rest matters.
Talking matters
Being heard without judgement matters
That slowing down is allowed.
And that looking after yourself isn’t selfish.

So today I’m celebrating women in all the roles we hold and all the unseen things we carry. ✨

You deserve rest.
You deserve care.
And you deserve space just for you. 💛
