I didn't win this year's Small Business competition, but a huge thank you to whomever nominated me to begin with and to those of you who took the time to vote.

Massive congratulations to this year's winners! Running a small business is not easy, and recognition is well deserved.

It has been such a long while since I last blended anything other than an essential oil, that I almost forgot my roots!

When I first became an Aromatherapist I used to blend lotions & potions all the time, but the legalities of labelling, even for clients, bogged me down - so I stopped & focused on treatments.

I was inspired to make this blend, for a friend who is struggling with eczema, & I remembered how much I enjoyed the process (though still dislike the labelling).

This is a very simple blend for very inflamed skin, not even any essential oils, for now - I will add those for her, in a low dilution, as the skin starts to heal - because right now, even the most gentle of essential oils would cause irritation.

Christmas is stressful for a lot of people, & I realised when I wrapped some of these presents up, that we are so overlooking the point of gifting.

Get in early for your Christmas gift vouchers - I am closing for my Christmas break on the 19th.

All Christmas gift vouchers purchased now will be forward dated, so your loved ones have 6 months to use them from the end of December, so an early purchase does not affect the expiry date x

I blame Menopause! - I don't even have a brother! 🤣🤣

I am sending it anyway- Christmas is too manic to be worrying about what is printed on a card - Its the thought that counts - & I did at least spell their names right! 🤣🤣

Hands up if you have ever booked in for an Aromatherapy massage and been given a choice of 2 or 3 Pre-blended oils? ✋️✋️✋️

Typically "relax / energise / de-stress" You have no idea what oils are in the blend, or why they might be suitable for you - They are chosen purely by name or smell or packaging.

That's not what you get here! New client's that come for Aromatherapy are often a bit surprised that the oils are chosen & blended in front of them, tailored to their specific needs on the day.

All Essential oils have their own individual properties, from helping you feel calm or energised, to helping you sleep, easing muscular aches and pains, improving circulation, reducing stress & anxiety, improving respiratory symptoms & much more!

I offer you a selection of oils that are suitable, taking into account individual cautions such as insomnia, blood pressure & hormones, amongst others, and together we select the ones that you like the most - as Yes - the oil properties will still work if you don't like the smell of them - but isn't it just 100 times better when you do?

Aromatherapy is a science - but a very enjoyable one.

This is Sunday evening!

Less than 2 weeks to go before my next CPD course (That I promised myself I wouldnt do this year! 😬)

I thought I was 75% through the theory - Turns out I had skipped to the interesting bits, so am actually only 25% done & now have a mad rush to get it finished before the practical starts! 😬

It Will be worth it! 🤞🤞🤞

Never has a post resonated with me this much!
Sharing with permission from Flexi-Move pain management and massage therapy Spot on! 💖

This post pretty much signifies everything I stand for as a massage therapist - But they put it into words much more eloquently than I could.

Relax the mind & the body follows.

Who needs slippers, when you have the snuggliest, fluffiest foot companion in the whole wide world? 💖

Somehow, she always knows just how to make me feel loved (today was to warm up my cold feet!) - & I hope she feels the same love, reflected back from me! 🫶
