✨ Some things are simply meant to find their way to you…

I spotted this beautiful chakra crystal tower on social media, immediately took a screenshot and messaged Kris at on Llandudno Pier.

Last night, during a late-night visit to the pier, I finally went to see it —and the moment Kris handed it to me, I felt its energy.

I just knew it was meant to be here at The Covert’s Coastal Retreat. 🤍

I’ve always loved the Crystal Hut, but recently seeing Kris and the team travel to France to source and hand-select the crystals themselves made me appreciate what they do even more.

When something is heart-led, carefully chosen and genuinely loved by the people bringing it to you, it feels so much more special and authentic. ✨

Now this beautiful piece is standing in the treatment room as though the space had always been waiting for it. It couldn’t be more perfect alongside the crystals, chakra lights and everything we’re creating here.

It will only elevate the space, the treatments and, especially, my Coastal Crystal Wellness Ritual—combining the seven Vogel-cut quartz crystals of the Crystal Light Bed with the crystal-infused PEMF mat.

And when Reiki is added to that experience… I have a feeling it’s about to reach a whole new level. ✨🌈

Thank you, Kris—it has found its home. 🤍

Executive decision made…

I’ve hired new admin staff.

Our goddaughter/niece is here for a sleepover and has already been put to work helping with my Nervous system presentation.

Her current employment package includes;
snacks
unlimited Wi-Fi
Payment negotiations are ongoing… although I suspect she’ll drive a hard bargain. 😂

The real question is: what should her official job title be?

People only see one side of this space.

The beauty of the treatment room.
The garden in the sunlight or glowing at night.
The sound of the water.
The heated bed.
The treatments.
The laughter, the tears and the conversations.

Where someone arrives carrying the weight of their week and, hopefully, walks back out feeling a little lighter.

That’s the side people see.

What they don’t see are the early mornings and the late nights.

The studying and qualifications. The planning. The washing. The cleaning. The admin. The accounts.

The constant learning, building, painting, planting and creating.

The ideas scribbled into my phone at ridiculous hours.

Or the moments when I wonder whether anyone will even notice all of those tiny details I’ve obsessed over.

Whether they’ll understand that this space is rooted in heartache and pain, but has somehow become transformational in its existence.

And then, each time someone notices and stands beside the pond for a little longer.

Someone tells me they feel safe here.

A stranger becomes a familiar face.

I remember why I’m doing all of it.

Because I haven’t just created somewhere to come for a massage, Reiki or another treatment.

I’ve curated this place to almost be a ‘portal’ beyond the gate.

A little transition between the outside world and this one.

You walk through the gate carrying whatever life has thrown at you and, for a little while, the outside world feels further away.

Problems feel smaller.
Outside noise quietens.
Breathing slows.
The heartbeat settles.

And there are tiny details you might not consciously notice, but somehow feel.

None of it is accidental.

From the calming essential oils, to incorporating breathwork or meditation, I’m led by you and what you bring into the space that day. I’m always observing, listening and adapting to what you might need in that moment.

I wanted to create a little space where you don’t have to rush, perform, achieve or look after everybody else.

Somewhere to slow down.

Somewhere to feel human again.

So yes, people only see one side of this space.

But when someone walks back through that gate a little lighter than when they arrived, it makes all the parts you don’t see worth it.

The lows can be heavy, but the highs are so rewarding.

Thank you for being part of it. 💕

And beyond everything this space already is, I really hope we can build something else here too — a strong community of like-minded people who want to connect, slow down and feel a little more human.

That’s what I’ll be working on next… 💕

3 signs your nervous system is overwhelmed

1. Exhausted even after sleep
2. You become irritated or emotional over the smallest things.
3. Feeling stuck in ‘high alert mode’

An overwhelmed nervous system may not always look like panic or anxiety.

Your body isn’t working against you, it’s trying to protect you.

Creating more moments where your body can feel safe and able to soften allows your mind to slow down and body to regulate. Moving out of fight or fight.

I’m here to help if you’re struggling. Please reach out to me 💕🫶🏻

We spend so much of life practising stress…

…that eventually the body forgets what calm feels like.

Most of us don’t choose to live in survival mode.

It happens gradually.

The unanswered emails.
The constant notifications.
The rushing.
The worrying.
The caring for everyone else before ourselves.

Day after day, our nervous system adapts.

What once felt like stress begins to feel normal.

Our shoulders stay tense.
Our breathing becomes shallow.
We rush through meals.
We struggle to switch off.
We lie awake exhausted but unable to sleep.

And often, we don’t even realise it’s happening.

The thing is…

Your body is constantly trying to guide you back.

Have you ever noticed what you instinctively do when life feels overwhelming?

You place a hand on your chest.

You rub your forehead.

You hold your neck.

You wrap your arms around yourself.

It isn’t random.

Research suggests these instinctive acts of gentle self-touch can help calm the body’s stress response.

In one study, participants were simply invited to comfort themselves however felt natural. Almost everyone chose exactly the same position.

One hand over the heart.

The other resting gently on the abdomen.

No one told them to.

Their bodies already knew.

Sometimes we forget that our bodies carry an incredible amount of wisdom.

And that’s becoming the heart of everything I create at The Covert’s Coastal Retreat.

Not because one treatment is the answer.

Not because there’s a magic crystal or a miracle technique.

But because when we gently combine light, sound, warmth, touch, colour, vibration, nature and stillness…

…we create the conditions for the nervous system to remember something many of us have forgotten.

Safety.

When the body begins to feel safe…

Breathing naturally slows.

Muscles soften.

Digestion improves.

The mind becomes quieter.

Sleep often comes more easily.

Not because we’ve forced relaxation.

Because we’ve allowed it.

This is why I’m so passionate about creating experiences rather than simply offering treatments.

Whether you’re enjoying reflexology, relaxing on the crystal light bed, listening to soothing sound frequencies, resting on the crystal-infused PEMF mat, receiving Reiki, or simply sitting in the garden listening to the birds and the sea…

The goal is always the same.

To give your nervous system permission to pause.

Science increasingly shows us that small moments repeated consistently can make a meaningful difference.

A slower breath before eating.

One long exhale while waiting at traffic lights.

Naming the emotion you’re feeling instead of fighting it.

Noticing five things you can see around you.

Resting a hand over your heart for twenty seconds.

Small moments.

Tiny pauses.

Reminders to your body that, right now…

…you’re safe.

Wellbeing isn’t usually built in one life-changing moment.

It’s built in hundreds of tiny moments that quietly teach your body a different way of being.

That’s why I’ve fallen so deeply in love with this work.

Not because I believe wellness has to be complicated.

Quite the opposite.

A place where your nervous system no longer has to stay on high alert.

Just a space where you can exhale…

…and remember what calm feels like again.

If you can’t sleep…

If your mind never seems to switch off…

If you’re spending most of your time feeling anxious, wired, overwhelmed or completely exhausted…

And you’ve bought the supplements.

The sleep gummies.
The CBD oil.
The magnesium.
The herbal teas.
You’ve tried all the little things people tell you will help…

…but you still don’t feel like yourself.

Maybe it’s time to try something different.

Come and book in with me.

Not because I have a magic cure - ….I’m not a magician🪄

We may not need another product to buy or another quick fix.

Just dedicated time to slow down.

To feel safe enough to soften.
To breathe.
To be cared for.
To allow the body and mind some space to settle.

That’s exactly what I’ve created at The Covert’s Coastal Retreat.

A space designed around relaxation, nervous-system support and helping you reconnect with yourself.

Message me and we can help to guide you towards a plan of care and THE BEST sleep.

REIKI in 3 ….

Parasympathetic Nervous System

When activated, clients experience deep relaxation; lowering stress hormones, reduces anxiety and can aid sleep.

Emotional Resilience

Physical stress indicators, such as heart and respiratory rates, reduce during and after Reiki, enabling improved regulation and better managed emotions.

Non-Verbal Processing

Many people, especially those who are neurodivergent or anxious, may prefer Reiki compared with traditional talking therapy because they do not have to process emotions and feelings into speech.

WHY DOES THE CRYSTAL WELLNESS RITUAL FEEL SO IMMERSIVE?

Because you’re not experiencing just one thing.

You’re experiencing light, crystal, electromagnetic fields, sound and physical vibration simultaneously.

Above you sit seven precision-cut Vogel quartz crystals.

Unlike an ordinary crystal point, Vogel crystals are clear quartz that has been deliberately cut into a precise, highly faceted geometric form, developed from the work of scientist and researcher Marcel Vogel.

Vogel believed this particular geometry allowed quartz to focus and direct subtle energy in a more coherent way — almost as a lens focuses light through the crystals.

Quartz itself is an extraordinary material with genuine piezoelectric properties and a long history of technological use.

During the ritual, coloured light shines directly through each of the seven clear quartz crystals, creating the beautiful spectrum you see suspended above the body. Chromotherapy and its benefits are fascinating the more I research them.

But that’s only what is happening above you.

Beneath your body is something completely different.

You are lying on a crystal-infused PEMF mat.

PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy.

The mat produces gentle, low-frequency electromagnetic pulses while its crystal layers create a warm, grounding surface beneath you.

And then comes perhaps the hardest part of the ritual to explain…

The sound.

Because you don’t simply hear it.

You feel it.

The vibroacoustic cushion converts low-frequency sound into gentle physical vibrations that can be felt through the body.

The music surrounds you while its rhythm and resonance can actually be experienced physically.

So imagine this…

Light and colour above you.

Seven illuminated Vogel-cut quartz crystals.

A crystal-infused PEMF mat beneath you.

Sound surrounding you.

And gentle vibration travelling through your body.

Eyes closed.

Nowhere to be.

Nothing you need to do.

Just layer upon layer of sensory experience designed to create an environment in which you can completely switch off for a while.

That’s why photographs struggle to explain the Crystal Wellness Ritual.

I can photograph the crystals.
I can photograph the lights.

But you can’t photograph what it feels like.

And that’s the part I wish I could show you.

25 reviews. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When I started The Covert’s Coastal Retreat, I never imagined I’d receive so many kind words.

Every single one has been awarded ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, and I genuinely can’t thank you enough.

Whether you’ve visited for massage, reflexology, reiki, lymphatic drainage, meditation or a sound bath… thank you for trusting me with your wellbeing.

Reading that you felt calmer, safer, more relaxed and truly cared for reminds me exactly why I created this space.

If you’ve visited and haven’t yet left a review, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could spare a couple of minutes to share your experience.

As a small independent business, reviews make such a difference. They help others who may be feeling anxious or unsure about booking to see what it’s really like, and they help my little business continue to grow.

Thank you to every single person who has supported The Covert’s Coastal Retreat. I appreciate you more than you know. 🤍
