Something I've always loved about pregnancy massage is seeing my client and their bump grow! It is incredible, seeing the glow, seeing the grow, hearing the stories about their preganacy and what stage they are at. In an odd way I dread the last preganacy massage together because that special time between, me and my client and my client and their baby has come to an end - however knowing the next time I see that same client we will have so much to talk about! We will chat, we will hug, we will cry, and if I'm oh so lucky enough.... I will get baby cuddles!
Receiving little text with photos updating me on their birth and welcoming their new family member is the most beautiful thing.
I absolutely adore these moments.
When I specialized in Preganacy massage I was 22 and nowhere near becoming a mom but I appreciated the peace and they comfort that came with this calm treatment. I knew people would open up to me about what's to come in my life and now at I am 36 and have experienced it on my own I now get the honor of coaching my clients through parenthood.

Preganacy massage is so beneficial for both mom and baby. Allowing our chabging bodies to relax and take in such a special time is so rewarding and helps us bond with our changes. Pregnancy massage is safe after the first 14 weeks of pregnancy all the way through to delivery. Please always speak to your medical professional before booking so we know everyone is happy, safe and healthy and make sure when choosing a massage therapist they have experience and are fully certified 🥰

Manual lymphatic drainage massage (MLDM)
When we have physical trauma to an area or a institution from surgery our lovely a delicate lymphatic system is compromised and may need a little help putting itself back in motion.
Thats where massage can help. With a light pressure massage we can move the fluid that is stagnant and sometimes pretty solid around the traumatized area.
Post op MLDM can work wonders for your healing process and moving forward in your journey in life ✨️

Lets talk about Physiotherapists vs. Sports massage therapist.

✨ Understanding the difference in bodywork professionals ✨
I often get asked about the difference between a Physiotherapist and a Sports Massage Therapist — and it’s such an important conversation to have.
While both work with the body, they each have very different roles.
A physiotherapist is medically trained to assess, diagnose and treat injuries or conditions. They often work with rehabilitation, post-surgery recovery, and more complex or clinical issues.
A sports massage therapist focuses on the soft tissues — helping to relieve tension, improve mobility, support recovery, and enhance overall wellbeing through hands-on treatment.
Both are incredibly valuable… but in very different ways.
💭 The most important thing to remember is this:
Choosing the right professional for your needs really matters.
If you are dealing with pain, injury, or anything that feels beyond general muscular tension, it’s always best to seek advice from a qualified medical professional.
And when it comes to massage and wellness treatments, make sure you are choosing someone who is properly trained, insured, and working within their scope of practice.
Your body deserves safe, knowledgeable, and thoughtful care 🤍
As therapists, it’s our responsibility to stay within our training, continue learning, and always put your wellbeing first.
As clients, it’s okay to ask questions, understand who you’re seeing, and feel confident in your choice.
✨ The right care, at the right time, makes all the difference ✨

I write this because I see a lot of sports therapist stepping out of their professional career role and offering more than. They should to their clients.

I regularly remi d my clients that I have experience within the physio world but am not a licensed Physiotherapists therefore cannot diagnose or prescribe exercise however I can offer them conversations to bring up at their next apt.

I feel confident doing this as I have years of education and experience. Please remeber that most Massage therapy courses in the UK are short courses with little to no clinical practice before becoming certified AND in Somerset and other counties you dont have to be a certified massage therapist to open a business and take clients on. 🙄

How absolutely amazing is this.

I love Oleo bodycare (as you could have guessed)
I love how quickly they are to answer my questions and make my request into a reality.

NOW OFFERING GLOWING TEEN FACIALS:
We have a lavender and geranium facial scr, b which is gentile but will get the job done.
Green tea and bergamot face mask that smells amazing and will gently eat away at any of those blemishes and calm the skin.

All made by hand, with love, vegan, good for the skin, mind, body, and soul. Made with natural ingredients and never tested on animals. (All things i care so much about in my own life and my professional life)

Within this facial, we will also use the steamer to open pores, making extractions easier and less painful. We will also use the LED mask set to blue light therapy to kill bacteria and red light therapy to reduce inflammation and scarring.

Growing up in the era of clean and clear products and the method of drying your skin out to get all the dirt out of your pores and sucking your skin dry was wild. Im 37 now and have learned so much about nutrition, hydration, fitness, general anatomy, and health i want to provide my kids with the basic knowledge and skills it takes to have a healthy life, mind, body and skin. We have started a small skin routine morning and night which reminded me of how many parents reach out to me about facials directed towards their teenaged children.
Facials and skin care is not only for girls. My son does this routine and regularly asks me to give him a mini facial. So please keep this in mind while reading this post if you have a teenaged boy who suffered from skin insecurities.

So I messaged Oleo and expressed how many parents send their kids to me and the feed back I get from them about the product I use. They all say how much they love the facial but the mask is a bit too much for their sensitive skin (i will admit it tingles a lot and if youre already sore and sensitive this would make you uncomfortable - so this is valid). Olivia suggested a different mask for these treatments and a different exfoliating cream aimed towards teens and their sensitive faces.

I AM PLEASED TO SAY I HAVE NOW ADDED A NEW ITEM TO THE STRONG DAFFODIL MENU AND ITS: GLOWING TEEN FACIAL ✨️
- 60 MINUTE FACIAL
-OLEO BODYCARE PRODUCTS
-STEAMER USE FOR EXTRACTION
- LED MASK FOR 10 MINUTES
-AFTER CARE CHAT AND LEAFLETS FULL OF TAKE HOME INFORMATION.

*recommended every 4-6 weeks (half term treat is how I would put it.

My life is chaos, but it's all for these 2 monsters.
I want to thank all my clients near and far for giving me and my children the most beautiful opportunity to rebuild our life after divorce. I am very transparent with you all about my personal and professional life. I never want to keep anyone in the dark for several reasons.
I see each and every one of you as you are. Sometimes you come in cheerful, happy, ready for the next good thing to come in life (your massage, obviously). I also see you come in holding it together, trying to get through the next hurdle. We talk about our friends, family, ambitions, goals, our troubles, and our wins. I appreciate all the friendships I have gathered from this new chapter I have found myself in. My clients have my back just like I have theirs.
I know what to expect in my day when I open my schedule. I know who I need to be extra strong for (emotionally). I know who I need to check in on after our session is over. Alternatively I know who will be there to let me fall apart and have a moment expressing my feelings, my recent events, I know you all will celebrate my wins and cheer me on and I cannot think of a better relationship between therapist and clients.

I know I post a lot of thanks on my socials, but it's beautiful knowing I feel so honored, thankful, and passionate about not only my career but also my clients. I post a lot about my life, my goals, vulnerability, and ambitions because these are all common topics for us all and what I spend most of my day talking to my clients about.

With the slow change of season soon arriving i am slowly seeing a change in my clients needs which I always find to be a very fun transition. In the fall and winter clients tend to book more sessions around mental heath, light pressure, relaxation, sessions where we reflect and get through the dark days and cold weather.
Now that spring is slowly making its move into our lives we wakeup a bit more, we're motivated, we're moving more, going on walks, getting our summer bodies ready I am starting to see more bookings for sports massage, deep tissues, and overall more physical health sessions.
I love these changes. I love knowing The Strong Daffodil is a place you know you can come and get exactly what you need for yourself and the time of year.

I have been so busy this year already and I cannot thank all your beautiful people enough for working with me to achieve my own goals and to let me help you achieve your own goals.

This final bit of winter has been so hard for many of my clients. Some have really been tested, some have lost loved ones, some are recovering from illnesses, some are coming out of dark places, some feel lost or lonely.... however you have continued to keep a promise to yourself to honor your body by giving yourself that monthly hour or 90 minutes to just be still and be vulnerable in my treatment room. Im so proud of all of you and I cannot wait to see what Spring and summer brings for us.

First Grow and Glow package booked and delivered yesterday- and it was amazingly fun and a real treat to provide.

Starting with a full body massage, moving into a gentle and cleansing facial, LED mask and ended with a foot pamper... all the beautiful essential oils filling the air and doing their jobs! I had a blast and my client was "so relaxed I didnt want it to end. Im5 not doing anything else today!"

Sessions like this give me so much joy and make me overwhelmingly happy that this is my life. This is how I express my love, give back to humanity, and show my little family if you do what you are passionate about you can have a very happy and fulfilling life.
