Yes, that’s right—that’s me 14 years ago with my mobile massage chair, offering back massages at every local event I could find.

When I started, I offered EVERYTHING—Aromatherapy, Indian Head Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Reflexology, Thai Massage, even beauty treatments like facials, waxing, manicures, pedicures… You name it, I did it.

And guess what?
I was never really successful.

But everything changed when I focused ONLY on helping people who are stressed, in pain, tense, or injured because of their work.
The ones who NEED massage to keep going.

Now?
Every month is a success.
Clients keep coming back because they never want to feel stressed, in pain, or unable to enjoy life due to an injury.

Today, I’m in my own clinic, working with clients I’ve known for years—some even 10+ years!

Massage is not a luxury for them. It’s essential—like brushing their teeth.

There’s so much pressure to be successful. You scroll social media and think—wow, they have it all figured out.

Truth?
I never had a long-term plan.
I just showed up every day.
Month by month.
Year by year.

And somehow, it happened.

And you know what?
I LOVE every mistake I made. The more mistakes, the clearer I got on what I didn’t want.

So, if you’re feeling lost, keep going.
Keep trying.
Success isn’t a straight line—it’s a messy, beautiful journey.

...the massage doesn’t last as long anymore. I used to feel relief for weeks, but now the pain in my shoulder comes back after just a few days.

Your Body Is Like a Car—It Needs More Than Just Fuel

A new car runs smoothly, but over time, wear and tear set in. It needs more than just petrol—it needs servicing. 🚗 Your body is the same! A massage that once kept pain away for weeks might now only last days. That’s not a sign you need more pressure—it’s a sign you need better care.

Why Deeper Pressure Isn’t the Answer

⚠️ Pain isn’t just muscle tension – Nerves, inflammation & stress play a role.
⚠️ Your body adapts – Stronger pressure gives diminishing returns.
⚠️ You need a full-body approach – Just like a car needs more than fuel, your body needs mobility, strength & recovery.

What Actually Helps?

✔️ Regular maintenance – Consistent massage prevents built-up tension.
✔️ Mobility & posture work – Small daily changes make a big difference.
✔️ Strength & flexibility – Balanced muscles stop pain from returning.
✔️ Stress management – Relaxation, breathwork & hydration matter!

Your Body Deserves More Than Just a Quick Fix!

Work smarter, not harder. Book your massage today & invest in long-term relief!

...I totally know why! it’s because of my job—I’m hunching, sitting on the wrong chair, leaning over… but I don’t want this back issue to come back again.

I hear this all the time from my clients!

People who can’t just “fix their posture” or “change their job” because their work requires them to sit, bend, lift, or repeat the same movements every day.

👉 Do you feel the same?
Maybe you’ve had pain before, worked through it with massage and physio, felt better… but now it’s creeping back. Stronger. More stubborn. And suddenly, you’re relying on painkillers again just to get through the day.

This is exactly who I help.

I work with desk- bound busy professionals —people whose bodies take a beating from their daily routines.

And I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Holistic massage isn’t just about “fixing” pain—it’s about managing it, preventing it from worsening, and helping your body work better despite the strain you put it through.

💆‍♀️ How I help:
✔ Deep Tissue & Holistic Massage – Not just pain relief but restoring movement & function.
✔ Ongoing Support – I help you understand what’s happening in your body & how to manage it.
✔ Practical Advice – Simple, realistic changes that fit into your life.

But here’s the truth—massage alone won’t fix everything. If you can’t change your job or daily movements, here’s what you CAN do:

✅ Break the cycle – Even small adjustments (like micro-breaks & better breathing) can help.
✅ Keep your muscles mobile – Regular movement, stretching, & hydration prevent tension buildup.
✅ Be consistent – One massage won’t undo years of strain, but regular treatments keep your body from breaking down further.

💆‍♂️ Massage is more than just relaxation—it’s body maintenance. If you’re tired of pain controlling your life, let’s find a way to keep you moving, working, and feeling better for longer.

✨ You don’t have to live with stress, pain, tension, or injury—massage can help. Let’s make a plan that works for your body and your lifestyle.

Ever had a massage, felt amazing for a day or two, and then… the pain, tension, and stiffness creep back? You start thinking, “Well, that didn’t last long… maybe I need stronger pressure?”

But here’s the truth: massage isn’t a quick fix—it’s your body’s way of resetting.

We Are Not Designed to Sit All Day

Think about it—our bodies are built to move. Yet, modern life keeps us sitting all day, every day:
🚗 Sitting in the car
💻 Sitting at work
🛋 Sitting on the sofa
💤 Sleeping in awkward positions

All this sitting makes muscles tight, stiff, and weak, leading to pain, stress, and injury.

If you’re not moving for at least an hour a day, your body is slowly breaking down. But if you don’t have time for movement, then massage is your solution.

Why Does Massage Help?

✔ Releases built-up tension – Like hitting the reset button on your muscles.
✔ Improves circulation – Gets oxygen and nutrients flowing to tight areas.
✔ Stops pain from becoming chronic – Regular care prevents long-term damage.
✔ Reduces stress & helps sleep – Less tension = better relaxation.

1 Hour of Massage a Month Can Change Your Life

⏳ 60 minutes of massage = reversing hours of sitting and stress.
🛠 Your body resets instead of breaking down.
💆‍♂️ You move better, feel better, and sleep better.
✅️ Over time, you need less pain relief, fewer treatments, and feel stronger.

Massage is not a luxury. It’s body maintenance—just like food, water, and sleep. If you can’t move for an hour a day, then at least give your body one hour a month to recover.

Because if you don’t make time for your health now, you’ll be forced to make time for pain later.

Even when it’s positive, it can leave us feeling drained—emotionally, mentally, and even physically.

Why?
Because change shakes up what we know. It pulls us out of our comfort zone, demands energy, and sometimes makes us feel unsteady.

But here’s what I’ve learned:
When life feels overwhelming, the best thing you can do isn’t to fight it or force your way through.
It’s to pause, breathe, and ground yourself.
Just breathe.

Feel your feet on the ground.
Place your hand on your heart.
Let yourself be present.
Because when we slow down, we reconnect with our center. Our nervous system calms. Our thoughts become clearer. And suddenly, the weight we’re carrying doesn’t feel so heavy.

This is why in holistic massage therapy, grounding is so important. The body holds tension from stress and change, but when we create space—through breath, touch, and stillness—we release, reset, and realign.

So, if you’re feeling drained by change, remember: You don’t have to have all the answers right now.
Just breathe.
Ground yourself.
And trust that clarity will come when you're ready.

Marika

Stress is a natural part of life, and when we face a problem, our first instinct is often to fix it immediately.
But when we’re in a stressed state, our minds are clouded, and our decisions may not be the best ones.

That’s why I follow what I call the 24-hour rule. If something is overwhelming me, I allow myself to pause, breathe, and wait until the next day before taking action—if possible.

Why?
Because stress triggers our fight-or-flight response, making it harder to see things clearly. When we give ourselves space, our nervous system calms, our perspective shifts, and often, the problem either seems smaller or even resolves itself.

This is the same principle behind holistic massage therapy—by slowing down, releasing tension, and allowing energy to flow naturally, we gain clarity, balance, and a sense of calm.

So, next time you feel the pressure to react instantly, try the 24-hour rule. Give yourself permission to pause. You might be surprised how much lighter things feel the next day.

Your body and mind deserve that space.

🌟 MARCH BOOKINGS ARE OPEN! 🌟

🚨 Last month SOLD OUT fast! 🚨

February’s focus was on head and neck tension relief, helping clients feel lighter, calmer, and more refreshed. This month, we’re moving to the area that everyone tells me they want to let go of…

Your shoulders!

Do your shoulders feel like they’re stuck up by your ears?

❌ Constantly tense and tight?
❌ Aching from stress or sitting at a desk?
❌ Feeling like you can’t fully let them go?

You're not alone! So many of my clients say, “I just want to drop my shoulders!” But stress, posture, and daily tension keep them locked up.

That’s why this month’s Inside-Out Glow-Up FULL BODY MASSAGE is focused entirely on SHOULDER RELEASE.

✅ Deep work to help your shoulders drop and relax
✅ Tension relief for easier movement and better posture
✅ A full-body reset so your:

✨ Face LOOKS softer (because when your shoulders relax, so does your jaw!)
✨ Body FEELS lighter (goodbye stiffness, hello ease!)
✨ Mind IS calm (because when tension melts away, so does stress!)

This isn’t just a massage—it’s freedom for your shoulders!

📅 HOW TO BOOK:
🚀 Only 10 spots available—so be quick!
🔗 Booking link is LIVE now: https://marixtherapymassagespecialist.fullslate.com/services/3342

💬 February sold out fast—don’t miss out this time!

Make 2025 the year you finally let your shoulders go!

During a recent session with a regular client, I noticed subtle tightness and thickening in her palm, a possible early sign of Dupuytren’s Contracture—a condition that can cause the fingers to gradually curl inward over time.
Left untreated, this could eventually lead to permanent stiffness, making everyday tasks like gripping objects, writing, or shaking hands difficult.
By catching it early, I was able to advise her to seek medical guidance before the condition progressed.

👉Did you know...
As a massage therapist, I do more than just help you relax—I also pay close attention to your muscles, joints, and soft tissues.

Massage therapists are not doctors, but we are trained to notice abnormalities that might otherwise go unnoticed. Early detection can help you seek medical advice sooner, preventing long-term issues.

🔍 What can a massage therapist identify?
✔️ Unusual muscle tension or tightness
✔️ Restricted range of motion
✔️ Lumps, nodules, or thickened tissue
✔️ Circulatory issues (cold hands/feet, swelling)
✔️ Areas of chronic pain that might need further assessment

✨ Do you care about your well-being and making sure your mind and body are in top shape?
As massage therapists, we work with many different body types and can help prevent serious conditions before they develop.

Can you massage my daughter? She has acne on her back, but she really needs to relax.

While massage therapy has incredible benefits, in cases like back acne, it’s important to address the root cause first. Acne is caused by bacteria, and massage can unintentionally spread that bacteria, potentially making things worse.

💡 What can you do at home to help back acne?

✔️ Use a gentle, antibacterial body wash to cleanse the skin.
✔️ Avoid tight clothing that traps sweat and bacteria.
✔️ Change your bedsheets and pillowcases regularly.
✔️ Exfoliate with a mild scrub or chemical exfoliant (like salicylic acid).
✔️ Keep stress levels in check—stress can contribute to breakouts.

🔹 If home remedies aren’t enough, professional skincare treatments or dermatologist advice can be a game-changer. Once the acne is under control, massage therapy can help with relaxation and overall well-being.

I've tried everything—physio, surgery, even injections—but the pain just won’t go away.

Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, your pain, tension, or injury just won't heal?
You've tried every treatment available, but something is still holding you back. That "something" might not just be physical—it could be your mind.

Our thoughts shape our bodies more than we realize. If your mind is saying:
🧠 "I can't let go, or the pain will come back."
🧠 "What if I relax and make things worse?"
🧠 "My body is broken—I have to live with this."

Then your body listens. It stays tense, guarded, and unable to fully heal. But what if relief didn’t have to be a battle? What if the key to recovery was gentle, not forceful?

🔹 Try these home solutions first:
✅ Deep breathing—calm the nervous system, signal safety to your body.
✅ Gentle movement—slow, mindful stretches to encourage mobility.
✅ Heat therapy—warmth can relax tight muscles and ease stiffness.

If your pain still won’t shift, professional massage can help you break the cycle.

✨ How holistic massage can help: ✨
✔️ don’t just focus on the muscles—but address the mind-body connection.
✔️ techniques release tension without the "no pain, no gain" approach.
✔️ therapist guide your body to let go, so healing happens naturally.

You don’t have to live with stress, pain, tension, or injury—massage can help.

I came for a massage with you as I have tension in my face since I dislocated my jaw years ago—just from yawning. I think I hold my jaw a lot because I’m worried if I yawn again, it will dislocate. Also, I have a headache every day. I’ve tried everything, and I’m worried about trying this TMJ massage… but my friend recommended you.

This story truly stuck with me.
Since I started offering TMJ massage in January 2025, I’ve helped many people with jaw pain, headaches, teeth grinding, and facial tension—but this client’s experience really shocked me. I was so happy to be able to soften her face, ease her tension, and help her feel safer in her own body again.

Have you ever had this problem?

Do you wake up with a sore jaw?
Struggle with constant headaches?
Feel like your face is holding onto stress?

TMJ dysfunction (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) can show up in many ways:

✅ Jaw pain or clicking
✅ Teeth grinding (bruxism)
✅ Frequent headaches or migraines
✅ Ear pain or ringing
✅ Tension in the face, neck, or shoulders

What can you do at home?

✨ Apply a warm compress to relax tight muscles
✨ Try gentle jaw stretches to improve mobility
✨ Avoid chewing gum or hard foods
✨ Practice deep breathing to release tension
✨ Be mindful of posture—slouching can make things worse

If home remedies aren’t helping, professional massage can make a real difference. TMJ massage targets the muscles around your jaw, face, neck, and shoulders, helping to reduce pain, improve movement, and release years of built-up tension.

If you are local then book your TMJ massage here: www.marixtherapy.com

You don’t have to live with stress, pain, tension, or injury—massage can help.

We don’t always get what we want, but we always get what we need.

In life, it's easy to get caught up in what we think we need or want — a perfect outcome, a specific goal, or even a quick fix to our stress or discomfort. But the energy we put into the world often aligns us with exactly what we need, even if it's not what we initially expected. Our bodies and minds are deeply connected to the energy around us, and sometimes that energy guides us to the healing, growth, or rest we truly require.

When we approach life with openness and trust in the process, even the challenges or struggles become opportunities for transformation. This is why I believe that through massage therapy and mindfulness practices, we’re able to tap into the energy our bodies crave — whether it's releasing tension, soothing a chronic ache, or simply finding balance during a stressful period.

Your body knows exactly what it needs, even if your mind doesn’t fully understand it yet.

If you're ready to experience a shift, remember: the energy you need for healing is already within you. And sometimes, all it takes is a little support to help it unfold.

Trust the energy. Trust the process. 🌿

Do you ever wake up and just feel... meh?

Like the world is moving, but you'd rather stay under the blanket, away from it all? ☁️

Maybe today isn’t a day for pushing through.
Maybe today is a day for pausing.
No forcing.
No fixing.
No 5-step plan to feel better.

Because perhaps you feel like this because you’ve been doing a LOT lately. Your mind and body aren’t broken—they’re speaking to you. 🧘‍♀️ They’re saying:

💤 "Slow down for a moment."
🩶 "You’ve carried a lot."
🌧️ "It’s okay to rest without guilt."

Some days are for energy, movement, and motivation. And some days are for simply being.

No pressure, no hustle, no “fixing.” Just breathing. Just existing. Just you.
The world will wait. 💙

How are you feeling today?

Teachers, this one is for you!

Half-term is approaching—yay!
Time for lazy mornings, catching up with friends, a bit of a spring clean… and hopefully, some well-earned rest.

But before you jump back into another busy term, have you thought about giving your body a real reset?

→ A MASSAGE ←

As a teacher, you spend long hours:
✅ Standing and marking
✅ Sitting in awkward positions
✅ Carrying books and heavy bags
✅ Dealing with daily stress

Over time, this leads to:
❌ Tight shoulders and neck pain
❌ Lower back aches
❌ Stiffness and tension
❌ Headaches from posture strain

A massage isn’t just about relaxation—it relieves built-up tension, improves circulation, and restores movement so you start the next term refreshed, pain-free, and re-energized.

I specialize in helping hardworking professionals like you—women who carry stress in their bodies without even realizing it.

✨ Half-term is the perfect time to book because you finally have the space to focus on YOU. ✨

So if you’ve been pushing through aches and stiffness, this is your sign to take care of yourself.
