Happy Soles

Well I was only saying yesterday to a lady who is busy busy busy ALL the time. Promising herself to take time for herself, time out. For her. But it won’t happen. It doesn’t FEEL right. It’s not achievable. The pressure to ‘do something for me’ when everything else is piling up, overwhelm, overthinking, is just adding to the pot.
The key is to take away small moments in the middle of everything else. To stop a moment, to consciously take a deep breath and release slowly. To look around at the world, nature, your people, yourself. Just moments.
Sometimes days and weeks pass so quickly. An effective way to slow it down is to be curious: find pockets of space that suit you. What might that look like??

Enhancing my massage therapy skills with, I have to say, vital knowledge. During training we practise on each other and I can confidently say my jaw is more relaxed actually from having trigger points in my upper back and neck located and released. Powerful stuff! Can be uncomfortable at times but you’re going to feel the benefits of this one. Wow! Got to say this one might take more than an hour tho…

Hello September…! Lots happening this month, for me three new training courses in trigger point therapy, Lomi Lomi massage (you’re gonna love that one! Luxurious…!) and hot stone massage, just in time for Autumn.
Plus a reflexology awareness day just dedicated to invite you to try out samples of my reflexology treatments. Book ahead to ensure you have a space.. https://happysoles.net/world-reflexology-week-2024/

Continuing professional development allows me to enhance my treatments to suit the clients needs, every time.
Lymphatic massage helps us to improve our wellbeing by encouraging the lymphatic system to function optimally, improving the immune system and reducing the feeling of sluggishness.
Using special techniques to wake up the lymph system can also help our bodies metabolism and reduce the impact of some allergies on our bodies.
It is particularly useful in those post surgery (once signed off by consultant) and for those with a sedentary lifestyle. Deeply relaxing, (I can vouch for that!) it can also help to improve mood and support women in menopause.
Some clients with and other inflammatory conditions may benefit as this technique is so gentle.

Finally we come around to summer.. whatever the weather you can take care of your wellbeing and start to explore what really feels good.

Really blown away by your gracious donations so far, I know times are difficult. The date is set and we are just weeks away from head shave.. so many people will benefit from the support offered by Penny Brohn UK and I hope you can spare some small donation to keep that total rising… 🙏

Caroline raises thousands with head shave for cancer patients and wants to raise even more A community news update from your area

A very happy client this morning, Annie kindly agreed to let me work on her face with the Natural Face~Lift Massage though lets be honest she barely has a need for it ☺️) Fine lines are reduced and she felt deeply relaxed.

What’s it best for? Maybe you have an event coming up, or a holiday. Book in 24 hours beforehand, as the results last 48-72 hours.

Clearly with regular treatments, your skin will be more plumped up and glowing as the circulation is improved and you relax deeply. Reveal your inner shine!

I’m almost ready to take paying clients in this treatment, just a few more practise people and I will let you know.

Second day of training in massage…

5 weeks today… hairs coming off! https://www.justgiving.com/page/caroline-svitana-1691072896307?utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=page%2Fcaroline-svitana-1691072896307&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=pfp-share
Please please donate to help support cancer patients get information on how to support their well-being, before treatment, on treatment and beyond treatment. There has sadly never been a greater need to reduce this isolation and come together. 🙏 grateful to you all 😘

Mental health.. awareness of the stories our minds tell us, how we interpret the things around us, and deal with things that are happening to us out of our control. All these things, and more, impact our mental health. Let’s lose the stigma completely, and address the health of our minds as well as bodies, and spirit.
At work we are wearing it green for this Thursday.
Increase your awareness of your own mental health, and notice where you might need support. It’s good to know when I need time to myself and when I need to talk.
What do you do?

Hot weather, sticky, swollen feet, irritable…? Using aromareflex, reflexology with essential oils, can help you to feel more comfortable and relaxed. We choose up to 3 oils to blend with the special reflexology wax, and you can rest as I apply it to your feet with considered pressure points and soothing massage strokes. https://happysoles.net/treatments/aromareflex-reflexology-with-essential-oils/
