Friday we said farewell to one of the most wonderful men I'd ever had the privilege of knowing, James's Pop.

Despite the fact that he was legally blind his days were bursting with life.
He showed how to make the best with what you've got.
He didn't make excuses.
No fuss.
He just got on with it - take a look at these pics for just some of the evidence.

The themes echoed throughout people's messages about him were of inclusivity, kindness, courage, generosity, and love.
Solid and steady yet gentle.
And a great sense of humour.

He had a gift of making people feel seen and heard in every encounter.

He had a way of making you want to emulate the way he treated people and how he made them feel.
You naturally raised to his level.

He showed through how he lived what it means to be a good man.
Foundations of great character that James has adopted so well.

We miss him, the chats and the bear hugs but his legacy runs strong and wild just like the life he lived earth-side โœจ๏ธ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ’š

Wonderful weekend away with the best of friends ๐Ÿซ‚

Some of the past few days drawing out the Christmas celebrations with cookies, appearances from a mumma cat and kittens (not ours ๐Ÿซฃ), farm stuff, lights, eating, laughing, cheersing, and realizing I enjoyed myself far too much in the sun and pool to remember to get more photos ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Hope you all had a safe and happy time celebrating in your own special way ๐Ÿ’š

Last day of clients for 2025 but also 10 years of being in biz - I seem to miss this every year ๐Ÿซฃ

10 years of massage, 10 years of clinical practice, 9 years of being a qualified naturopath, and I'm equal parts grateful and tired ๐Ÿ˜Œ
Keep scrolling if you don't want a bleeding heart story...โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

This year has tested me more than most and at times it's been pretty hard to keep showing up tbh.

I've had a lot of personal things which has sometimes been difficult to box away and be present for clients ๐Ÿ“ฆ

I've battled compassion fatigue with family health issues that are ongoing and this has strained some relationships.
Along with navigating grief and estrangement.

I've chipped away at working through my own trauma with my therapist (while also navigating a perpetrator making an appearance) so to heal that little girl version of me who carried so much and to stop repeating the same damaging patterns of addiction, dissociation and burnout.

At times this makes carrying things for others particularly heavy.
๐ŸŽญ All the while skillfully wearing a mask conditioned from not wanting to make a scene or upset others and par for the course often in the healing profession so as to remain 'professional'.

I share all of this not for sympathy but to show transparency - that all of us have skeletons, stories, strains and stresses.
Not one of us is immune.
It's about how we respond, learn and grow ๐ŸŒฑ

And kindness - I am so grateful to have so many kind people in my village and to those of you who choose me as your massage therapist and/or naturopath and for letting me into your corner of the internet ๐Ÿ™
I wouldn't be here practicing what I love without you - so if you've read this far, thank you! ๐Ÿ’š

Traditions were kept today ๐ŸŽ†

93 years of Christmas pudding therefore this one cannot be stopped ๐Ÿ˜„

I'm a little weird and like fruit mince but am also a sucker for a good salad, new potatoes and a pav and fresh berries.

Christmas means different things to each of us (if you even celebrate it). Personally I have no attachment to the Christian story and I'd much rather celebrate the cycles of nature.
Either way you slice it, you can't deny that stopping for a day of food and connection with others (whatever the reason) is medicine.

This year she's gone all in on gluten free and plenty of Southern Comfort. There will be more added on the day ๐Ÿคญ

What are your fave foods for celebrating? ๐Ÿก๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿ“

I've been a bit quiet on here - quiet on socials, loud in real life ๐Ÿ™Œ

November was for living, not posting.
Big joys, big challenges, big growth.
Turns out choosing real life over screen time feels pretty good โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

The burnout doesnโ€™t happen in December โ€” itโ€™s been building since March ๐Ÿ˜…

Massage helps you get ahead of it.
Itโ€™s where your body switches from โ€œpush throughโ€ to โ€œcome back home.โ€

A calm nervous system doesnโ€™t just feel better โ€” it functions better.
Hormones, sleep, focus, energy โ€” all benefit when your body feels safe again.

โœจ Book your burnout prevention now โ€” link in bio or DM to save your space before the rush.

You donโ€™t have to earn your rest โ€” youโ€™re already worthy of it ๐Ÿ’†๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธMassage is more than a moment of quiet; itโ€™s how you...

You donโ€™t have to earn your rest โ€” youโ€™re already worthy of it ๐Ÿ’†๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Massage is more than a moment of quiet; itโ€™s how your body re-learns safety and balance.

When your nervous system feels calm, your hormones, mood, and energy finally catch up.

Take the pause now โ€” not when you crash later.
Youโ€™ll thank yourself when that December busy arrives๐ŸŒฟ
