Sometimes stress doesnโ€™t just stay in the mind.

It can show up as:
โšก๏ธtight shouldersโ€จโšก๏ธa clenched jawโ€จโšก๏ธpoor sleepโ€จโšก๏ธheadachesโ€จโšก๏ธa stiff neckโ€จโšก๏ธa body that feels tired but wired

And sometimes you may even be told by your doctor that reducing your stress levels would be good for your health ๐Ÿฉบ

Which sounds simpleโ€ฆ but real life doesnโ€™t always make it easy.

Massage isnโ€™t a replacement for medical care, but it can be a supportive part of looking after yourself.

๐ŸŒฟAn hour to stop.
โ€จ๐ŸŒฟAn hour where nothing is expected of you.
โ€จ๐ŸŒฟAn hour for your body to soften and your nervous system to settle.

Your body deserves calm too ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿค

Maybe youโ€™re just used to feeling tight, tired, stiff or stressed โšก๏ธ

But your body is working for you every single day โ€” walking, driving, gardening, working, carrying, lifting, rushing, sitting, sleeping awkwardlyโ€ฆ it all adds up.

Massage can be a way of supporting your body before it has to shout for attention.
Not just a treat ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ

For anyone who is new here, I'm Shona, the face behind Shona Smillie Massage in ๐—ก๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ต ๐—•๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ท๐—ฎ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜†, ๐—•๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป.

My career began at the Equine Hospital at Edinburgh Vet School whilst studying for a degree in Equine Science. After completing my BSc, I went on to train as a veterinary nurse, qualifying as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2009 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฉบ

In 2019, whilst on maternity leave, I decided to follow a long-standing interest in massage and completed my Diploma in Swedish Massage ๐ŸŽ“

After qualifying, I went straight on to establish Shona Smillie Massage and have been welcoming clients into my home treatment room ever since!

Although my career has changed, many of the skills I developed as a veterinary nurse remain just as important today. Helping others feel comfortable, cared for and at ease has always been at the heart of what I do, along with maintaining the high standards of cleanliness and professionalism that clients should expect ๐Ÿงบ

I am passionate about creating a warm, welcoming space where people can truly take time for themselves, and making everyone who comes through my door feel comfortable, relaxed and cared for ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ

Thank you to everyone who has supported my small business over the years. It really is appreciated. ๐Ÿชป

Monday morning โ˜•๏ธ

A cup of coffee, a little paperwork and getting ready for the week ahead.

There are lots of behind-the-scenes jobs before the first client arrives, but I always enjoy this quiet part of the day ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ

As we get closer to the summer holidays, appointments are becoming quite limited and I now have only a few spaces remaining before July.

Wishing everyone a lovely week. ๐Ÿชป

๐ŸŒธGardening season is well and truly here.

At this time of year, I often hear clients say:

โ€œ๐‘ฐ ๐’…๐’๐’โ€™๐’• ๐’Œ๐’๐’๐’˜ ๐’˜๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐‘ฐโ€™๐’—๐’† ๐’…๐’๐’๐’†...โ€

After a chat, it often turns out theyโ€™ve been spending hours in the garden planting, weeding, pruning or moving pots.

As much as we enjoy it, gardening can be surprisingly hard work on the body, particularly the back, shoulders, neck and hips.

If youโ€™re feeling the effects of a busy few weeks in the garden, a massage can help ease tight muscles and get you moving more comfortably again.

June appointments are becoming limited and my July diary is now open.
Please get in touch if youโ€™d like to book.
