What do you get when you book an appointment?

Now that signs of Spring are starting to show it’s lovely to think about helping your body out of hibernation mode and back to ‘blossoming’. It’s been lovely to see so many clients old and new lately.
What do you get during a treatment….some space to relax and get back in touch with your body and mind. There’s a heated blanket on the couch and you can ask for hot stones in with your massage treatment (if you haven’t tried them I’d recommend them – they feel so nice and can really help with flagging energy levels or that pos-viral feeling). I offer a thorough consultation so we can understand what’s going to work best for you during your treatment. Some clients like to focus on a particular area whilst others like to mix up a bit of reflexology with some deep tissue massage. It’s up to you what you like the sound of and what’s going to work best. Plus I offer a choice of aromatherapy and therapeutic oils. Maybe you’re the kind of person who likes to chat during your session or you might prefer some quiet down time. I have relaxing music inspired by nature and birdsong or you can have total silence. If you have any queries please get in touch. Oh yes and I do offer gift vouchers – I know many of you are thinking of mother’s day gifts….
All best wishes Kate

Acupressure Facial Massage

Hi all and hope you’re doing well during blustery February.
I am so excited to have completed my training in Acupressure Facial Massage on Friday. It’s an amazing therapy which works the muscles of the face, scalp, neck, upper chest and shoulders.
It’s a wonderful treatment for easing tension in these areas (tense jaw anyone?) and can help with neck pain, sinus issues, headaches and a variety of issues in these specific areas.
Because it has its roots in Chinese medicine it works with meridian energy points and is a deeply holistic treatment for the mind and body.
An hours Acupressure Facial Massage appointment is £50 but for February and March I’m offering a 20% discount so it’s £40.
Or if you’d like to tag a 30 minute ‘taster’ onto your usual hours appointment then it’s an extra £20.
Please check in and try and see what you think – or treat a friend of family member to a gift voucher.
Happy days, with best wishes Kate

The power of touch

I really enjoyed reading this today
As someone who sees the benefit of healing therapeutic touch every day I felt so happy to see this expressed in this article https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/nov/08/massage-breaks-the-pain-cycle-the-return-of-touch-after-almost-two-years-without-it

https://www.channel4.com/programmes/davina-mccall-sex-myths-and-the-menopause/on-demand/71025-001

So happy to see the wonderful Davina McCall discussing and exploring issues around menopause on Channel 4 – I was in tears listening to some of the stories and hugely inspired and hopeful that change is coming

Women and long Covid

As a therapist with a special interest in women’s health and pain issues I read this with interest today…..

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/mar/25/women-coronavirus-long-covid-health

PS It’s lovely to be working with my clients again since opening last week! I’ve really enjoyed re-connecting.

Opening again on 12th April

I am very happy to be able to open again to clients old and new from 12th April and I am taking bookings now.

I’m really looking forward being able to offer support during these times.  Women have been badly hit by the crisis and as a practitioner who has a special interest in women’s health I am interested to hear everyone’s story and help be part of a support tool kit.

I have made a small change my price list with effect from the start of the new tax year and these are listed on my site.

Look forward to hearing from you.

All best wishes Kate

Open again on November 9th

I’m really looking forward to welcoming clients old and new from November 9th.

I’ll be continuing with the precautionary measures and advice on how to offer treatments safely during the COVID crisis so we can both feel safe during the session.  If you are a new client and have any queries then please contact me for more information.

All best wishes and look forward to seeing you soon I hope, Kate

Preparations Underway – Something Extra to Help You Return to Treatments

I’ve had a busy time of it since the great news that I can open again.  I’ve been checking up on the recommended guidelines and making sure your concerns over returning to the treatment room are listened to and acted on.  For any client who is booking in for the first time, or a returner, there’s an online consultation plus phone call, to check that you’re happy with what to expect from your visit and address any concerns over keeping safe whilst you’re here.  Many of you are especially interested in reflexology, not just because it’s a wonderful relaxing and therapeutic treatment, but because during these difficult times, it’s a treatment where you can keep all your clothes on and you and I will be over 1 metre apart, whilst you lie on the massage couch.  With such obvious benefits and in order to help, I’m offering a discounted rate of £30 for a 45 minute full reflexology routine.  This is available for anyone and I hope will be welcome for anyone who is financially or in any other way struggling with the challenges of COVID and needs some ‘me-time’ to help cope. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Opening again 27th July

I am very pleased to have the green light to open again for both Massage and Reflexology from 27th July. There will be some new protocols in place around your visit to keep us both safe. I have been advised by the Massage Training Institute and the Association of Reflexologists who have issued some excellent advice.  Please contact me to book your lovely treatment . Look forward to seeing you!
