Bradford on Avon massage.

Sometimes it’s just about the relaxation. 😊

Did you know 75% of all illness is a result of stress? 😲 Certain medical professionals believe it’s way higher than 75% 🤯

We are not meant to function, daily, in our sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight). Certain systems in our bodies are compromised when we are stressed! (Most commonly our digestion and immune systems, but the list goes on).

Massage is a great way to switch us back into the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest).

Think of a computer with all its systems coming back on line and working optimally 💻 we call this sweet spot, homeostasis.

“The state of balance within all physical systems needed for a body to function properly and survive is homeostasis. In a state of homeostasis, body levels are constantly adjusting in response to changes outside and inside the body.”
Poonam Sachdev, MD

✨I talk a lot about holding space for people. But what does that really mean?

It can mean different things to different people, so here’s what it means to me.

It’s about making you feel welcome, safe, seen and heard. 🤍

It’s about providing an environment where you feel comfortable to let go and be cared for.

It’s about giving you the time and space to explore your emotions as well as addressing your physical body.

It’s about being fully present for you and showing support and empathy, without judgement.

I see holding space for you as a huge honour and a vital element to my work as a therapist.

We have just one appointment left this week due to a reschedule. It’s 9.30 Friday morning with Lindsay. To book in use the button in the bio 😁

📣 Happening in the space this Tuesday 31st evening for booking info visit

Returning to Alchemy often stirs great wisdom within, and i have been feeling very drawn to the safety that is created within stillness.

It's that time of year when, by slowing down the body, the mind often takes a few more days or weeks to join.

We can be so grateful really to have this time, for ourselves,our bodies, our minds.

Do u also feel the invitation to create stillness in your day as the seasons turn?
The invitation to take time for tour thoughts or actions?
To consider now what is no longer serving you in the way it did before?

My journey with Mama Cacao has only recently really begun, i love the warmth, the comfort, and the reward it offers you as you honour being with yourself, focusing on the breath.

I will be offering this gentle and kind ritual at the Samhain even and the sharing of some light snacks on the evening.

Offering food at Samhain is an important tradition in many cultures and belief systems.

It is believed that during this time, the veil between the living and the dead is thin, and offering food to the dead can help appease any restless spirits and ensure that they do not cause harm or mischief.

It is also seen as a way to show respect and honour to ancestors and loved ones who have passed away.

Additionally, offering food can serve as a way to connect with one’s own spirituality and practice mindfulness and gratitude.

What rituals do u like to honour as the seasons change?
Do you also notice a change in your body and how it moves??

What would be your food or drink of choice if you were to offer it to your ancestors to honour their wisdom and insight?

Will you join us next Tuesday 31 to celebrate ??

So grateful for such a lovely review. I’ve been think a lot about holding space for people and what this means to me. I’ll be posting about this soon.

I’m doing my full moon post a little early, it’s actually tomorrow night (Saturday) but it’s a bit special so I wanted to give a bit of notice for you to look up at the beautiful nights sky.
Tomorrow’s full moon is a blood moon and a partial eclipse 😁

A lunar eclipse happens during a full moon, when Earth blocks the sun’s rays from reachingthe moon. As Earth “eclipses” the moon, it casts a shadow across the moon’s surface, oftentimes causing the moon to briefly take on a reddish hue. However, since this is considered to be a partial lunar eclipse, this will cause only a portion of the moon’s surface to be covered by Earth’s shadow.

This full moon is all about transition, prosperity, fulfillment, and preparation.

It’s time to think about any important shifts you want to make in your life as this moon should bring prosperity and abundance.
It’s time to reflect on your actions throughout the year as it nears conclusion and envision what you wish for your future. 🤍

Happening in the space next Tuesday 😊

Procrastination at its finest!! My least favourite job at work. 😖 So far I have googled flights to India, looked at new cars and scrolled through some mindless reels on Facebook. Now I’m even posting about it to avoid folding the sheets. 😆😆 I gave up ironing for mental health reasons about 3 months in to starting my business. (Doesn’t work no matter how long I spend on them). 😆 So now it’s just folding the laundry and just to add to the joy I accidentally washed some couch roll with the sheets. YAY 🤨
Do you procrastinate? What’s your least favourite part of your day? 😜

Do you have limited mobility or chronic pain that you just accept and deal with on a daily basis?

I’m not going to make any wild promises here but perhaps deep tissue massage could help.

I love this review cause after 25 years 😳, I was able to help James get more mobility into his shoulder. And really make a difference to his quality of life.

You don’t have to just put up with aches and pains there could be a way forward. Massage is a great place to start your journey into pain free living.

If I can’t help I’ll happily refer you on to another specialist.

What is Craniosacral therapy? 💆‍♀️

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive manipulative technique which can improve the functioning of the central nervous system, eliminate the negative effects of stress, strengthen resistance to disease, and enhance overall health. Using a soft touch, practitioners release restrictions in the cranial sacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. Cranialsacral therapy has a profound effect on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. By gently working with the spine, the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia, the restrictions of nerve passages are eased, the movement of Cranialsacral fluid through the spinal cord can be optimised, and misaligned bones are said to be restored to their proper position.

You can book in on a Monday and Tuesday afternoon with Hayley via the book now button or via the website.

It’s mental health awareness day. 💚

It’s a huge part of my work supporting people with their mental health. Massage isn’t just about aching muscles it’s about the person as a whole.

I often work with stress, grief, depression, ptsd, burnout and so much more.

It’s an honour to be able to hold space for people and help them work through their challenges, physically and emotionally.

It’s okay to not be okay. 💚
