Martha Mary Beauty, Yoga & Welllbeing

Reiki doesn’t just calm the mind; it restores balance in ways that show on the outside too! Think less stress, more energy, and a glow that can’t be faked. If you’re ready to feel lighter, brighter, and a little more at peace, reiki might just be the reset you’re looking for. 💫

Spaces available this week, book via the Fresha link xx

Just in case you needed a picture of a smiling cat today, miss these dudes when we go away!

Been lush to have a bit of a break. I was so organised and did some scheduled posts so I didn’t completely disappear, but they didn’t work for some reason.. maybe the universe is telling me something!?

(is it normal to encourage your kids that getting a cat lead is a good idea…. Asking for a friend 🤣)

What’s on for the rest of the year, can’t believe I’m saying that! Where has 2024 gone?

The yoga sessions are super relaxing and restorative, we’ve got enough business going on in our lives over the winter period so come join me on the mat and find your space to slow down. The space is so inviting and relaxing and the classes are kept to 5 people, all levels are welcome!!

So excited to be doing my craft workshops at the unique and cosy space in little man coffee. If these sell out I will add some more dates, I’ll be there to guide you and we’ve all got creative streaks in us so come and have some fun making your own ceramic bauble and handmade natural wreathes.

Can’t wait to see you and if you’d like to book the old fashioned way just pop me a message to secure your space on any of the above, if not booking is via eventbrite (links above) xx

I’ve come to realise that all that really matters is having a happy heart, a healthy body, a peaceful mind, and a home that feels whole. That’s the only thing that’s worth chasing.

I’ve had a bad week like, like a mental health bad week, I’m being honest as I can be here. Maybe it’s the start of perimenopause or maybe it’s just the utter overwhelm of life, if you’re not happy and there’s things you can change why aren’t you doing them? I say this all the time and don’t take my own advice. So I’m going to focus on what really makes me happy (within reason, I’m not selling up and taking the family to Thailand just yet!)

Anyone else whose head is just not working I feel you and I hope you can find something however small this week that makes you feel better 🧡

In this welcoming, non-judgmental space (no more than 5 people), we’ll move through a gentle Hatha flow to build strength and flexibility, followed by soothing yin stretches to release tension and ground your body.

At the end I will bring you back into the space to reawaken feeling completely relaxed.

Feeling so grateful for the beautiful energy shared in class! 🌙✨

✨“Creating spaces for connection, holistic healing, and genuine support.”✨

Yesterday morning, I sat down to sort out my branding, but instead of focusing on the visuals, I found myself reflecting on *why* I’m doing what I do. As I started writing, the reasons that kept coming through—besides my love for my children and wanting people to be healed and happy were tied to my experiences with women and my dream for more kindness in the world.

And no, I’m not going to dive into that whole “witch” story again (though it *is* real!). But I’ve come to realize that much of my passion stems from my history with women. I’ve been hurt, lied to, and found myself in challenging situations, repeatedly—especially in the past year. It wasn’t until I took responsibility for my role in all of this that things started to shift, I don’t need to heal these people I need to accept it’s about the individuals path.

I’ve realised it’s okay if this is one of my main motivations. At Ruth’s beautiful retreat, (if you haven’t tried breathwork with Ruth, please run to her the release I had was insane!) I led a yoga class, and later in the session, Luisa spoke with such passion about the need for women to support each other and rise together. It struck a chord with me. It’s not just me who’s been hurt, and the thought of others feeling the same way doesn’t sit right with me. One of my core values is to create spaces where women feel supported, comfortable, and included.

So, even if my branding isn’t perfect yet, at least I’m clear on why I’m here. If you’re ever at one of my events and feeling nervous, please feel free to come and talk to me xx

Don’t underestimate the power of the moon. I’ve not been able to sleep, feel like giving up one minute and then making exciting plans the next. Looked down at my coffee cup as a tear was strolling down and saw this.

Some of us are more affected by natures energy than others; I try to be as healthy as possible but I’m always bug heavy up at the change of seasons, I know when it’s a full moon cause my children are wild. Eclipse season is heavy and we’re right in the midst of it, it brings up stuff, I kind of like it, it’s cathartic it’s a release.

Just like the skies energies throw us curveballs so does life, I guess it’s how we deal with it that makes a difference. Accepting it is probably the biggest one for me.

Be kind to yourselves this week, I’m going to try too xx

*ps. I haven’t read this though it’s just my thoughts written down, so i apologise to all the grammar queens!

Thank you as always for inspiring me today , I put on my other Instagram account that everything will just be here from now on as tech is not my friend, I vocalised this today. I went to talk event and not only were the hosts and speaker inspiring the warmth from every person I spoke to was insane!

I’m going to be so brutally honest, I often feel like an outsider, I feel like until people get to know me I can’t be me, I feel things strongly, I ignore red flags with people to fit in and I always get hurt, I’m chaotic, I’m like an excitable child, Im “over” sensitive, I have a million ideas in my head, I cry with overwhelm the list goes on.

In the past fortnight I’ve felt a shift, the people who have come into my “business life” have a different energy. The warmth and support has made me realise I’m not alone, none of us are, we all struggle, we all need someone to hold our hands sometimes, we all need to take a moment away to remember who we are and why we’re doing what we’re doing.

So as I’ve pretty much been off social media for about 2 months what difference will another week 😂 get ready for a rebrand, me as me offering what I think the world needs, maybe a new name, who knows…

*in the meantime my new classes in roath and treatment room links are all above. ☝️ I promise I’ll be back soon

When life takes chunks out of you look for the glimmers (my new favourite word 💛) It’s very easy to fill your cup when get out in nature and spend time with those you love.

1. All you need is new hair and chats with one of the best 💆🏼‍♀️
2. Family is everything 👦🏼👦🏻🧒🏼👧🏼
3. Finally picked up some silversmiths tools again, no idea why I ever stopped!
4. Rare brunch date with my guy
5. Time by the water with our besties
6. Complete happiness in one moment
7. Yoga always eases the soul, always so much more to learn, right?
8. Last work brunch dates with the best before the summer holidays
9. 💯

If all else fails run away to the forest in the van, see you all in a few days. I’ll be ready and recharged for you all xx

💛💛

So happy to let you all know that on top of my yoga, massage and reiki, I’m now offering Ayurvedic facials.

It felt so aligned with yoga and my mission of detoxifying beauty products, it’s a long story but very simply put a previous baby massage mother came to me as she was going through an awful situation and just wanted a bit of self care. I looked into so many methods but felt like Ayurvedic facials were so much more than just a facial, they’re an ancient tradition, contain 0 toxins so safe to use on absolute anybody including pregnant mothers and anyone going through cancer treatment.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re going through something life changing or quite simply want to learn more about Ayurveda and how amazing it is for your body, skin and soul.

I will let you know more about the individual treatments over the next few weeks and you can always ask me any questions but if you want to book in for a treatment the link is above.

This time next Friday you could be joining us for a day of pure relaxation and baby bubble time 💜

We’ve had two people book on from the last one so that definitely says that they’re a hit! It is something created out of a day I wish had existed when I first had a baby.

Includes baby massage, postnatal yoga, journaling, an incredible view (we might have a little beach walk) lots of healthy snacks, a delicious lunch and a little massage. What more could you need for a day of bliss?

We’ve still got a few spaces left and if you use code FIVE you get a little discount too 💜

Hope to see you there xx

8 months later and I’m fully qualified Yoga teacher 🧘

It’s been an emotional rollercoaster, the last weekend absolutely cracked me open…

So grateful to have been on this journey, it’s never too late to chase dreams.

Can’t wait to see what’s next, one things for sure I’ll be unapologetically me, we’re so conditioned by life that I think we can forget who we are along the way. I really learnt from this amazing group of women to embody yourself wholeheartedly ❤️

Thank you xx
