Pause - Time for You

27/07/2025

So happy to have such a great place to work!
Come and find me and a host of other lovely people at Glow In Pocklington 😍🤩

Perimenopause and menopause can feel like a bit of a storm, can’t they?
One moment you’re holding it all together, and the next… you’re wondering where you went in the middle of it all.
I’ve been there too, I often still am! That feeling of being stretched thin, tired to your bones, and unsure whether you’re coming or going. And in the middle of it, the world still expects you to keep showing up.
But here’s the truth:
You can’t keep pouring from an empty cup.
You deserve time. You deserve care. You deserve space to reconnect with the version of you that’s emerging in this new chapter.
That’s why I created Pause – Time for You.
It’s not just massage. It’s not just coaching. It’s a space where you can exhale. A place to feel held, heard, and gently guided back to yourself.

Together, we explore:
💆‍♀️ What helps your body feel safe and soothed
🧘‍♀️ What brings you joy and calm
💬 What you need now — not who you used to be or who you think you should be — but who you are becoming

You are not alone. And you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

If your cup is running low — or empty — I’m here. Ready when you are. 💛

👉 Drop me a message if you want to talk, book in, or just say hello.

With love,

“If not now, then when?” – Tracy Chapman

I’ve been thinking a lot about how easy it is to keep pushing through, always putting ourselves last. But real self-care isn’t selfish — it’s necessary.
Whether it’s time to rest, reset, or reconnect with yourself… you don’t have to do it alone.

💛 I’m here to support you.
Drop me a message to book a massage or coaching session with Pause – Time for You — and let’s make space for you.

✨ There was a time I felt like I’d lost my sparkle. Somewhere between the hot flashes, brain fog, and wondering who even is this version of me? — I just didn’t feel like myself anymore.

Sound familiar?

That’s exactly why I started Pause – Time for You. It’s a space for people navigating menopause and perimenopause, where you can feel supported, understood, and gently guided back to you.

Through a mix of massage and coaching, I help you:

💆‍♀️ Release stress and tension
💬 Talk things through with someone who gets it
🌟 Reconnect with your body and rediscover your sparkle

This stage of life is a shift — not a setback. And your sparkle? It’s still there. Let’s find it together.

📩 Message me to book your session or simply have a chat about how I can help.

Pause – Time for You
Because you deserve this.
