You’ve heard me talk about it, you’ve seen the results, but you’re still skeptical about whether or not it might work for you.

It’s okay. I get it. I was skeptical too.

When I first heard about the healing potential of Zone Technique, I thought to myself ‘I’ll believe it when I see it.’

And then I saw it work. On me.

So, naturally I decided to learn how to do it!

Since then the results have been flowing in for my clients. Together we’ve resolved (or significantly improved) a wide range of chronic health conditions, musculoskeletal issues and disorders that other healing approaches have been unable to address.

To help you overcome your skepticism and see what results you could achieve, I’d like to invite you to try it for yourself. For FREE!*

I have 10 appointment slots available (for *new Zone clients only) from 10am - 4pm on Wednesday 19th November.

Appointments will be allocated on a first come,
first served basis. When they’re gone, they’re gone!

✨What is Zone Technique?

Zone Technique is a powerful, results driven and innovative healing method. It delivers results by balancing the six core systems of the body - Glandular, Eliminative, Nerve, Digestive, Muscular, and Circulatory.

🤔Who is it for?

Anyone living with a chronic health condition or illness, musculoskeletal issues, chronic pain or recovering from an injury. If you are unsure whether or not you are suitable for Zone Technique, comment below or DM me.

💜 What can I expect?

If you secure an appointment you will be asked to complete a brief health questionnaire. I will then assess specific points (Zones) to establish which are out of balance. And then use light touch along the spine to restore balance to the affected zone/s. Zone Technique is a gentle, comfortable treatment that delivers amazing results.

🗣️Will I need more appointments?

Most clients experience significant results with just one treatment. However, everyone heals at their own pace and you may require follow up appointments to achieve best results.

COMMENT 🙋🏻‍♀️ BELOW TO BE IN WITH A CHANCE OF SECURING AN APPOINTMENT. I will DM you to offer you a time slot. Once all slots are taken, I will update this post.

They tell me that they no longer consider taking time out for a massage, facial, energy healing or Zone Technique appointment as something indulgent.

They tell me that they no longer want to come and see me when they’re at their limit. These days they choose to come and see me as part of their routine self care and wellbeing maintenance.

And they’re truly the smart ones.

The ones who get it.

They understand that their self care is a fundamental part of their health care.

They don’t wait for illness or injury in order to justify taking time to rest, restore and reconnect.

They place value on healing old wounds (physical and emotional) and know that prioritising wellbeing is critical to preventing further dysfunction.

Like I said, my clients are smart.

Are you?

(Of course you are! 😉)

Why do you come and see me? Share your reasons below - it might help others choose to love and care for themselves too…

Relief.

There’s no doubt that scrolling on our phones lights up the brain’s reward system. Here’s how…

😃Dopamine - The novelty of each new image, notification, or post offers a micro-reward.

💡Default Mode Network (DMN) - This part of the brain lights up when we’re not engaged in a task. Scrolling lets us drift off, whilst also keeping us hooked and switched on.

😫Prefrontal Cortex fatigue - Scrolling feels like “rest,” but it actually prevents true recovery — your attention circuits stay subtly engaged.

So scrolling mimics rest but keeps the nervous system activated.

The brain doesn’t immediately know whether it’s being fed surface pleasure (novelty, stimulation) or deep satisfaction (connection, rest).

Over time, repetative stimulation dulls the dopamine response, leaving us craving more input but feeling less full.

Nourishment, on the other hand, replenishes the same pathways but, more sustainably — slower dopamine release, more oxytocin and serotonin balance. But what does that mean?

🥰Oxytocin & Serotonin - These are connection and contentment neurochemicals. They restore you rather than simply excite you.

😌Parasympathetic Nervous System - The “rest and digest” state. Heart rate slows, muscles relax, and the vagus nerve signals safety. And safety is like the soil in which we can take root and grow.

💜Interoceptive Awareness - The brain shifts from external stimulation (what’s happening out there) to internal awareness (what’s happening in here). That’s where replenishment lives.

So when we reach for our phones (and let’s face it, we all do it - no judgement here), we’re not really seeking rest — we’re seeking the chemistry of relief.

We just reach for the fast version instead of the true one. Like grabbing a processed snack, when the body really craves a healthy meal.

When you choose to nourish your body, mind and soul through touch you are telling the body, ‘you’re not alone — it is safe to rest.’

Touch helps us co-regulate - for example, my calm nervous system helps to regulate your nervous system during a massage.

Nourishing touch brings us into the present moment. Grounding you in the here and now. Try it. ✨

Here’s a scary Halloween story for you…

There once was a woman who spent all of her time and money looking after everyone else.

She always made sure her kids came first. And then she made sure her partner was a priority. And then of course, she had to make sure her ageing parents were looked after. And let’s not even mention the time spent looking after the pets.

She spent day after day checking the calendar, getting everyone to their appointments and clubs, making sure the school bags were ready and lunches prepared. She bought presents for the teachers at the end of term. She wrote cards and thank you letters. She never forgot a birthday or anniversary (though she was sometimes so busy she forgot to eat). She planned parties and dinners and get togethers. She kept on top of immunisations, collecting the prescriptions and looking after everyone in her life who was sick… or tired… or sick and tired.

Oh and she probably also went to work and managed the laundry and cooked the dinner and, and, and, and…

And yet, she never made time to RECEIVE.

Because she believed that, in spite of all that giving, it would be too indulgent to invest in a little time for herself.

She figured that she couldn’t justify carving out some space to simply relax.

There was just too much to do!

And so, she kept on pushing and pushing. Doing and doing.

She told herself, ‘There’ll be time for me to relax… later.’

But later never arrived. The years rolled on and on and there never seemed to be time.

Soon those years of ignoring her own needs turned into aches and pains, stress and dis-ease. She got tired and weary, tense and teary.

Her world felt smaller and life seemed harder.

And suddenly, she no longer had the energy, care or motivation to do something kind and loving for herself.

So, instead, she simply withered up and faded away.

THE END

Can you imagine?
😱🎃😱🎃😱

No, neither can my clients.

(PS - yeah, I know. The ending was a bit dramatic but it’s just a silly story right? Isn’t it? 🤔)

And it’s about so much more than getting your daily steps in or eating your veg.

Yes, of course those things matter, but wellbeing goes far deeper than that.

It’s about addressing the whole system. From the inside out.

It’s about finding moments to pause, quiet the noise in your brain and create space to breathe.

It’s about releasing tension, tiredness and stress from your body.

And it’s about deep relaxation, resetting rhe nervous system and rebalancing the body, mind and soul.

We rarely take time out to just be.

To receive care and attention.

To allow ourselves to be supported.

We rarely make time to prioritise peace.

Bliss is good for you. Some might argue that bliss is our natural state of being.

When did you last feel it?

If you can’t remember, it’s probably time you popped in. 💜

I talk a lot about self love and self care on here. And so it was interesting for me to notice that while I truly understand the value of loving yourself…

I have NOT been very loving to MYSELF.

I have confidence, yes. I can recognise some of my gifts and skills, yes. And on some level I do know I have worth, yes (so all is not lost🥳). And yet…

For decades I have too often overlooked those things in favour of focusing my lens very sharply on what I’m not.

I’ve been locked in a battle with my body ever since I was about 13yrs old and I’ve learned lately that it has very little to do with my weight/shape/size.

I’ve shied away from things I truly love to do for fear of what others would think.

I routinely berate myself for all the things I think I SHOULD be better at.

I’ve regularly looked at my reflection and only managed to see flaws and problems (and no, not just because I’m ageing).

I recently realised that I criticise myself for at least one thing, well, if I’m honest…
EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

And I’m tired. Like, really, really tired.

One of the most common things I hear from friends is ‘don’t be so hard on yourself.’

I’m beginning to understand what they mean and realising that something has to change.

It has to stop.
I have to stop (because it’s me doing it after all)

I turn 50 next year and my goal is to unlock a deeper level of self love and acceptance by the time I hit that milestone.

Anyone else? Do you struggle with this too, or is it just me?

I’d love to know if you’ve figured this one out or if you are also going on this journey with me.

It’s time right? Self love and self care and self acceptance really really do matter.

I have been offering Zone Technique here at my studio for just over 3 months now, and in that time my clients and I have already resolved (or significantly reduced) a wide range of chronic health issues. Here are just a few examples….

Asthma
Dystonia
Digestive issues (constipation, diarrhoea, stomach pain, bowel conditions)
Chronic pain (neck, back, knees, joints)
Anxiety
Menopause symptoms
Allergies
Food intolerances
Chronic fatigue
Insomnia
Raynaud’s Syndrome
Sciatica
Migraines/headaches

They’ve also experienced improved energy levels, faster injury and illness recovery, brain fog, better mood, emotional release and weight loss as positive side effects!

I’m very proud to have been able to play a part in facilitating that depth and range of healing in such a short time.

But what has been equally important is the part my clients have played in showing up week after week, committing to their healing and trusting the process.

I’ve said it before but it bears repeating, Zone Technique is POWERFUL. The healing isn’t linear, there can be immediate results followed by slower changes. And vice versa.

The important thing is to make a start… and then to stick with the process.

Sekhem Wellbeing is the only location in mid Cornwall (and southern and western areas) to offer Zone Technique. And I am one of only 4 practitioners in the whole county.

If you have any questions about Zone Technique and how it can help you, drop them in the comments. Or drop me a message if you’d prefer to chat privately.

You don’t? Oh dear. Then I’d recommend you get yourself booked in. My clients know this feeling very well. It’s why they come back to my couch time after time.

Letting go, and letting someone else carry it all for a while, is an incredibly valuable form of self care.

You don’t have to do it all.
You don’t have to hold it all.
You don’t have to endure it all.

It doesn’t have to cost the earth and it doesn’t have to take up lots of time.

A back, neck and shoulder massage is just £30 and is a powerful way to dedicate 30 minutes to yourself, your body and your soul.

You deserve to know that feeling. Click the link in my bio to book your self care date.

The bone you broke years ago, isn’t even the same bone that’s in your body today. The skeleton quietly rebuilds itself — about 10% a year — replacing the old with the new.

So, why do you still experience pain or weakness in that part of your body?

Because, sometimes, even when the body has rebuilt itself, the memory of that pain lingers.

Healing takes more than time — it takes presence, compassion, and trust in the body’s wisdom.

And it’s not just bone.

Every cell in your body knows how to heal — it’s been doing it all along.

Your bones rebuild themselves. Your skin renews every few weeks. Your red blood cells turn over every few months. In fact, most of your body is brand new every decade.

Think about that for a minute. You are always creating a new version of yourself. You are full of new possibilities.

It’s one of the reasons why Zone Technique is so powerful for healing.

It works by restoring the communication that allows that natural healing to happen.

When your zones are balanced, your body remembers how to do what it was designed to do: repair, regulate, and rebuild itself.

Healing isn’t just about replacing what was broken or dysfunctional… it’s about rebalancing the body and then learning to trust the strength that grew in its place.

You are not your injury or illness. Your body is likely just out of balance and needs a gentle but effective reboot.

✨ Let me help you with that and get you back to feeling great.

Glandular, Eliminative, Nervous System, Digestive, Muscular and Circulatory. All functions of the body covered by 6 zones.
