****One off Class Alert****

I am fully aware that if you attend this class, your awareness might not be directed exactly where it would be in a traditional yoga class, but if you want to do some gentle movement and bring some joy into your Monday then please do come along.

Monday 24th June, 7pm, Yoga in the Garden Studio.
Book via www.bookwhen.com/yogainthegarden

This isn't going to be a regular class, and all the working cocker spaniel puppies will be well cared for and looked after during the class by The puppies are old enough to be handled and are vet checked and healthy and have been raised in a loving family home with their mum and some fantastic humans.

The movement and relaxation practices that I guide you through will be gentle, with a mindfulness on your surroundings, and there will be plenty of time for cuddles. (I think there are one or two cuties left, so you may even leave with more than you bargained for! Please do not let me give in!) The class will be smaller than usual so as to not overwhelm our guests, but more space for you to move and spread out.

Please do be aware that these are living creatures and will not bend to our will do may not want a cuddle just because you do, they may nibble at your toes, they may have accidents (paper towels are ready to be deployed). They are also a non hypo-allergenic breed so this class is not suitable for anyone with dog allergies. However, as we know, we have a lot to learn from animals. Their movements and habits can inspire our own practice. I hope you join us!

All massages from now until the end of June come with the option of a puppy cuddle 🐾 post massage. They are 3 weeks old and ready for cuddles 🥰 I know there isn’t much availability in June 😬.. so here’s your reminder to book if you want to secure your cuddle 🐾 They are just the cutest 😍

Thank you to everyone that has booked over the past week and for all your wonderful messages of support 💕 the website has now been updated.

I've outlined the treatment options and starting prices here but you can find all the details on the services page of the website: https://www.mentalhealthmassageexeter.com/services

I will be posting more about the different types of massage over the next few weeks but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hope to see you soon,

Jo

My updated treatment list and pricing will be going live next week - book your appointment before midnight Monday 6th May to take advantage of the current prices.

Thank you for your continued support 🙏💕

Another way your child might like to hang out while you have a massage …. There may be many reasons you need to bring your child or a sibling and I just want you to know that’s absolutely fine 😍🛋️

There will be a little shake-up happening as of the 1st May.

I've been working hard behind the scenes to update the treatments I offer and I will share these changes with you soon.

This will include some pricing adjustments. I've delayed increasing my prices as long as possible but I just can't hold off any longer. Not all prices have increased and I'm excited to share some new treatments with you.

Thank you for your continued support 💕

"I'm a yoga teacher, so I don't need any other bodywork" said no yogi ever.

Massage, reiki, somatics, counselling, acupuncture, osteopathy or whatever makes you feel good is totally needed. I used to work in the NHS and always wonder why we are such a society of 'wait for a problem to fix rather than let's act now to prevent the problem'. These practices,and I include yoga amongst them, are often considered to be alternative therapies, but I really believe that we should see them as Holistic necessities. If our muscles are relaxed, we are more likely to move comfortably, and if our energies are clear, we may approach situations with more clarity.

I'm rambling, I know, because I am still in a bit of a messy hair bubble after my massage that I had with the most intuitive and wonderful
It was 90 minutes for me to be mindful of what I am holding and what I can let go of. We also have a bit of a natter because I like to natter with Jo, and we laugh at my knotty bits and then she just gets it when I need the time to be silent and still whilst she works her magic.

She's a popular lady because she is just so darn good but get an appointment if you can. If massage isn't your thing, what else do you do to make you feel whole? Hit me with your recommendations, I'm up for a trying it all!

Just thought I’d let you know that over the last couple of years I’ve been collecting certificates so now I’m qualified in…….

✔️Deep Tissue Massage
✔️Pregnancy Massage
✔️Oncology Massage
✔️Mindfulness
✔️Additional Needs Massage
✔️Rebounding
✔️Massage for Mental Health
✔️Massage for Trauma, Domestic Abuse, PTSD and Sexual Abuse.

I’m planning on offering some new treatments soon so keep your ears to the ground ….( is that even a saying?!)

Hopefully see you soon,
Jo

If you’ve been in my treatment room recently I may have bored you senseless about my 3 peak’s challenge 🗻🗻🗻 after running down Ben Nevis and getting to Scafell in great time we hit biblical rain and 50mph winds so alas aborted and drove to Snowdon to complete two peaks 🗻🗻( safely)
I say this all the time but I’ve finally started looking after me, putting myself first, setting boundaries and making sure I get out and do the simple things I love doing…. So that means there is limited availability over the summer (I’ve got availability next week and 21st-24th August - message me if you’d like to arrange an appointment) I’m going to take some time once again chasing sunsets 🌅 (I’m obsessed) with my teens 🫶🏼
I feel unbelievably lucky to be able to treat you and give you the space you deserve to breathe 🤍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yipeeeeeeeee and Thank You
I’m jumping for joy celebrating my 100th ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review 🥳

Thanks for taking the time to write a review 🥰 it is always appreciated and I literally dance around with joy reading your feedback❤️

🐾🐶🐾

These guys are getting bigger so just to warn you you might hear them when you come to my treatment room ….. they aren’t barking but they squeak and you might hear them playing 💕
Golden girl, Purple boy and Orange boy are looking for families to love them forever so if you know anyone please let them know they are available 🐾.
Lots of clients have been enjoying post massage puppy cuddles 🥰 so if you want to get one of those in you need to book before 17th June!

These guys have had the best start and love garden adventures with their waggy tails …. And they’ve even fallen asleep while I’ve been clipping their nails as I massaged their paws 🐾❤️

🐾❤️🐾

These guys have arrived and are now 11 days old ❤️🐾… they will be in the room next to you having your massage until the end of June. As of 4th May ( when they can be handled) you may even get a post massage puppy cuddle …..

💕Announcement 💕

Please be aware that during April, May and June I will have mini Cocker Spaniels Squeaking in the room next to my treatment room 🐾 I thought I would let you know before you book your appointment. … any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me ☺️

Absolutely love it when I get a review from a 9 year old ❤️ 🎮🕹️🍣🦜💕

Feeling skilled up after a fantastic pop up massage masterclass this weekend by The School of Soft Tissue Therapy. It was so great to witness another style of practice and top up on my practical skills. If you’ve booked in for a massage you’re in for a treat - I love the way Anna Maria Mazzieri works and will definitely be bringing those skills into my treatment room 🥳

🖤 New Opening Hours 🖤
I’ve changed my hours to accommodate more evening treatments for you.

If you can’t find a suitable time don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me a message and I’ll see if I can fit you in.

As always I’m already looking forward to welcoming you and giving you a treatment 🖤

I love my job 😜

Oncology Massage now available to book 🖤

You are able to book a treatment no matter where you are on your oncology journey.

Any questions don’t hesitate to get in touch.

I feel so honoured to have your children in my treatment room. I feel so passionately about how we need to give children tools to self regulate, to prioritise self care, to understand their nervous system and notice how their body reacts and responds. I’m also passionate about teaching children about positive consensual touch - which is why I talk through every treatment, ask permission, make sure every child knows they are in charge during the treatment and need to communicate their needs with me. At a time when I know so many children are struggling I want to make my treatments more accessible - so have decided to reduce the cost for under 16’s until further notice.
I’ve reduced the price to £20 so more parents who are parenting children who are struggling with the every day might just be able to try a treatment 🖤

Last year someone I treasure with all my heart got a heart sinking cancer diagnosis. I desperately wanted to ‘do something’ to make it better ❤️‍🩹
Treating someone you love through their oncology journey has been at times magical 💫Oncology wasn’t on my radar before but having experienced the magic of touch when someone is feeling vulnerable, scared, weak and unbelievably poorly and just giving them time to be and be soothed and nourished and nurtured is invaluable. A cancer diagnosis can be devastating and I feel honoured to have been part of a few journeys already. Time in my treatment room allows clients to just ‘be’ and feel held at a time they need it most.

I’m now qualified to massage you during your oncology journey, throughout your treatment with or without medical consent.

Winding down for the summer ☀️

Feeling so grateful for all that have visited my treatment room 🙏

I honestly feel so grateful to meet and treat so many wonderful resilient strong clients 💪🏼

I intend to be indulging in nature, dipping 🌊 and inspired by sunsets 🌅

Still a few appointments available if you need some summer chill 🫶🏾

Or you can book end of summer treats from 20th August 💛

Have a fabulous summer, take time for YOU, take time to breathe and notice the tiny moments of joy 🙏❤️
