🌿Apothecary, Tinderbox, Incense, Crystals, Curios. I love helping people. I love random chats about life, gardening, animals, and creating art. I'm a self-taught photographer for the past seven years and I'm now on my new path, learning about wellness for the body, mind, and spirit. When we meet, I can promise you two things - you will be safe in my hands, and I

'll endeavour to promote a sense of peace and tranquillity for you. I have completed a Certificate in Massage and Reflexology, First Aid Certification, Work, Health, and Safety and Infection and Prevention Control certification, completed nine months in a Diploma of Remedial Massage and in the meantime I'm continuing to build on my knowledge by offering relaxation massage.

Do you ever catch yourself holding your shoulders up near your ears while driving, or breathing only into your chest during a busy afternoon?

Often, the tension and tightness we feel in our bodies is simply the physical storehouse of our daily rhythms, sustained postures, and unexpressed stress. Over time, these subtle holding patterns become our "normal," leaving fascia tight and muscles fatigued.

Through focused Swedish and therapeutic bodywork, we work together to release these accumulated layers of soft-tissue tension, down-regulate your nervous system, and restore a sense of spaciousness to your movement. Paired with a little everyday mindfulness, you can catch tension before it settles and give your body permission to unwind.

Below are a few common ways we hold daily strain, along with simple observations and gentle resets you can try between treatments to support your progress:

Restoring balance to the body is a collaborative effort between hands-on treatment and daily self-care. By pairing regular bodywork sessions with quiet observation throughout your week, you can maintain long-term ease, improve circulation, and stay deeply connected to your physical well-being.

Listen, breathe, soften, and allow your body to reset.

When something in your body, mind, or nervous system feels out of alignment, what is your first instinct?
Do you reach for another book? Research another protocol? Book another appointment, tweak your routine, or add yet another item to an already overwhelming health to-do list?

In a world that constantly tells us to do more to fix ourselves, when was the last time you tried doing nothing?....

We talk a lot about the intelligence of nature, but we often forget that our bodies are nature. Just as the earth relies on quiet seasons of rest to restore itself, your nervous system cannot recalibrate while trapped in a state of perpetual action and control.

Modern life moves at an unnatural, breathless pace. We ask our bodies to stay resilient, our minds to stay sharp, and our nervous systems to hold it all together….without ever giving them the space they actually need to rest.

Sometimes, the most restorative remedy isn't another action step. It’s stillness.

It’s sitting outside with a warm cup of tea, watching the sky, and letting your shoulders drop. It’s lying on the floor or sinking into a chair for ten unhurried minutes without a screen, a plan, or an outcome in mind. It’s taking a deliberate pause in the middle of a chaotic day just to breathe, soften, and allow your body to simply be.

Healing doesn't always happen in the doing. Very often, it begins in the quiet space we create when we finally allow ourselves to pause.

🌙 A gentle invitation for your week: Where in your day can you drop the to-do list, step off the wheel, and offer your nervous system the gift of doing absolutely nothing?

{...And if you need a quiet space to practice this, my doors and bodywork treatments at Idlewild are always here to hold that sanctuary for you.}

A rare opening in the schedule…✨
Tomorrow feels like the perfect moment to open the doors and let you wander through Idlewild again.

I’ll be here 9 AM 'til 12 PM, so if you’ve been wanting to browse in person, this is your window.

✨Peruse the apothecary shelves: herbal blends, oils, tinderbox range, natural soaps and much more...
✨Explore the curio nook: bones, quills, butterfly displays - like the flamingo leafwing below.... and other little pieces of magic for the curious
✨Pick up physical gift certificates for massage, sauna, or apothecary treats.
✨Book your upcoming appointments in person if you prefer face‑to‑face.
✨Walk‑in sauna sessions available while you’re here to reset your nervous system.

🖤And quietly behind the scenes, I’ve been shaping a new product line .... earthy, intentional, a little witchy, and very much in the Idlewild spirit. I can’t wait to share it soon.

If you’ve been waiting for a moment to drop in, tomorrow morning is your chance. Should I make these open hours a permanent ritual again? Let me know your thoughts?....

I’m surrounded by the sweetest clients who feel more like friends, and I’m so damn lucky 🌻 Thank you L. for the thoughtful handmade hair treatment...it made my whole day.

If you’re feeling that tight, achy, heavy load across the top of your shoulders and neck, or that slow burn creeping into the rhomboids...it’s usually from posture habits, muscle compensation, or just repeating the same movements every day.

This is exactly what I help with at Idlewild.
With a full‑body therapeutic relaxation massage, and slow, targeted work through the traps, neck stabilisers, and mid‑back it helps to support relaxation and those overworked areas to release.

Add in an infrared sauna session afterwards, not only does it continue your zen journey, but it helps boost your circulation, warms the tissues, and helps the area stay relaxed instead of tightening back up.

I’ve got a few massage + sauna appointments remaining this week if your neck and shoulders have been tense, or you're in need of some self-care.
