Therapeutic Massage Clinic

A quick day out in London

Fabulous day at Wimbledon, so lucky with the matches we got to see.

My bookshelf and health are richer because of Dr. Michael Mosley. The nations health and well-being is poorer.

Thank you

The clinic is implementing a new payment system from 1st June 2024. This will only apply to clients who currently pay by debit or credit card. You will now receive an email or text prior to your treatment with a link to make a payment. If you currently pay by cash or bank transfer this will not be affected. I hope to make the transaction easier and less costly, if you have any questions please let me know when you are next in the clinic. Thank you.

Sometimes all you need is an outdoor gig and your favourite rocker. What a fabulous night with the Boss, no one better.

Coffee outdoors with a good friend, then a good book in the sunshine.

Happy International Dance Day

In sunny Southampton at VTCT for more moderator training.

Providing a safe space for clients in the clinic is so important to me, and do is keeping their data secure. I have renewed my Data Protection Certificate and am in the process of destroying any records legally out of date. Any records to be destroyed are managed by a local specialist firm.

Sometimes it’s good to remember childish fun. Swinging on a swing The Alnwick Garden, looking in the windows of fairy houses in Lilidorei at The Alnwick Garden and climbing, crawling and giggling as I climbed Elfwin Drin. Such fun!

Having been self employed for many years (more than I like to admit), one of the huge benefits is setting my own schedule. So at 10am on Wednesday morning I’m doing this.

From The Sleep Foundation

Can Certain Smells Help You Sleep Better?
Because of the power of the sense of smell, certain fragrances may contribute to better sleep. Some scents promote relaxation that makes it easier to fall asleep and feel well rested the next day.

Not surprisingly, some scents are commonly associated with a more inviting bedroom environment. The smell of fresh sheets, for example, may make people look forward to going to bed. There are indications that bringing other scents into the bedroom with aromatherapy may promote better sleep.

Early start to blend my signature oils ready for a busy clinic day.
All oils from Eve Taylor London as always. I have used their oils since I trained with them in the 1990’s.

On International Women's Day I want to remember a hero of mine, Dame Ninette de Valois, founder of the Royal Ballet. I was lucky enough to meet her many years ago when she was in her 80's and still a formidable force in the dancing world, as well as an incredible ballerina. She has proved to be an inspiration to me for her passion, her determination, her drive to rise to a challenge. As a teenage girl who loved the ballet, she was awe inspiring and I hold that feeling to this day. I do not doubt her a strict task mistress but what an inspiration to generations of dancers, performers and choreographers. Today is also the anniversary of her death, she died in 2001 aged 102 years.

My top picks from 2024 so far are these two amazing books, I couldn't choose one. So much information and inspiration, not light reads but fascinating.

I’ll be looking into this in more detail. I’ve known Steve Aspen Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic for longer than I’d care admit and his way of explaining pain and injury second to none.

The TRUTH about Pain and Injury . A Biopsychosocial approach A truly evidence based approach to understanding and treating pain and injury. Based on contemporary pain science. Clinician centred and firmly rooted in the best scientific evidence available.

I have had many mentors in my life and career, without them I would not be where I am today. With a successful business doing something I love. I became a mentor myself many years ago in the hope I can give others even a little of what I gained.
I offer mentoring to therapists through my business, with the The Sports Massage Association and with The Girls' Network.

All ready for relaxing reflexology on this chilly morning.

Wishing everyone a 2024 full of health, wealth and happiness. My top picks for 2023? Health is being by the sea in the sunshine, wealth learning new things as seen at King’s College Medical School, and happiness? Carlos Acosta at the Royal Opera House.
Wonder what delights 2024 will bring?
Happy new year.

December can be a busy time of year for many of us, and a time of cold mornings and dark nights. Don’t forget yourself this year, a 30 minute Daoyin Tao massage could be just what you need to ease into the season.
Of course you could always treat someone else too with a gift voucher.

It’s beginning to look… oh you know the rest!

A weekend of well being

When you’re self employed and get a few minutes to spare 🙄

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them”.
John F. Kennedy

Not just for today.
