Research has found that 1/4 of us (now thought to be closer to 1/2), are living with some level of jaw pain and tension. OUCH!!! 😫

Since offering more facial massage, I have seen this become more and more common with my clients. So I felt it was time to do some specialist training and develop my practice, so I can offer an effective treatment that really makes a difference.

I’m excited to now offer a new treatment, which can help relieve and manage your jaw pain and discomfort.

TMJ Massage Therapy - is a restorative full body approach to help relieve jaw pain and symptoms of TMJ Dysfunction.

ā€œBut what is TMJ??ā€ - I hear you cry!!

It’s the Temporomandibular joint - the joint that attaches our jaw to our skull, allowing us to bite, chew, talk, yawn and generally move our mouth.

Many factors including stress or trauma can cause our TMJ to become tight and even misaligned, often leading to uncomfortable symptoms such as headaches, clicking, muscular tension and a potential diagnosis of TMJ Dysfunction.

If you have any of the above symptoms and would like to discuss booking your treatment, I’m here to help!

Please drop me a DM or send me an email to find out more and to book for treatment.

✨Some of my current faves to use in my ā€˜Ritual’ treatments and facials.

🫶Personally, I’m a hands on kinda gal when it comes to facial massage BUT cooling gua sha and cryo balls do feel rather lovely and can help to release tension and lymphatic congestion in the face, body & mind.

✨I’ve recently added the beautiful jade body gua sha into my treatments. It feels so good on the backs of the legs and helps to stimulate lymphatic flow - a great way to help flush and detox tight muscles, whilst gently firing up your immune system ahead of the winter months

šŸ‚ To help you ease into the cooler days, I’m currently offering Ā£10 off the Restorative Ritual (60 mins body massage & 30 mins facial) & Radiance Ritual (60 mins facial & 30 mins back, neck & shoulder massage).

šŸ‘‹If you look into the tiny cryo balls you might see me say Hi! ā˜ŗļø

Introducingā€¦āœØā€˜The Ritualsā€™āœØ

2 rejuvenating and restorative 90 minute treatments that combine therapeutic aromatherapy massage and holistic facials. Created to release tension, revive your skin’s natural radiance and restore balance in your body and mind.

To embrace the change in seasons and help you ease into autumn, I’m giving you Ā£10 off your first ritual treatment when you book in for October and November.

In both rituals you will experience uplifting aromatic essential oils, warming towels and natural products including the beautiful Devon made .skincare to help soothe your senses and nourish your skin.

90 minutes gives you that extra precious time to let your breath deepen and allows for your mind and body to relax, let go of tension, helping you to feel rebalanced and grounded.

Which one would you pick?
The Radiance Ritual or The Restorative Ritual?

Let me know which one you’d like to book and look forward to some restorative time out 😌

Earlier this year I trained as a yoga teacher after feeling the call to dive deeper into a world I felt I had only really scratched the surface of.

Rewind to January 2024 where the seed was planted at a wonderful yoga retreat in Nashik, India with one of my wonderful teachers Helen . I partly cringed and laughed off her generous comment ā€œOh, you’ll be back here to do your teacher training one day!ā€ā€¦but her words landed somewhere in me and subconsciously started to grow.

Yoga has taught me to accept myself wherever I am and to let go of and release some of the ties that life has bound. Yoga is for everyone and is not a religion, more a philosophy that can support our physical, emotional, spiritual and energetic being.

Looking back, I didn’t think that I would necessarily ever teach because of many of my own insecurities and self doubts.
However, after many wobbles (that I have slowly learned to embrace ā˜ŗļø) I qualified as a teacher this summer and taught my first village class last night.

It was pure joy to teach 7 lovely souls to breathe deeply and move mindfully, as the sun went down with the cool, end of summer breeze on our skin.

With a very full heart, I’m feeling grateful and thankful to all my yoga teachers over the years (I think my first class was over 20 years ago!!) and to my yogi friends and my family for their support and belief in me, especially when I couldn’t see it. It means a lot. The yoga community is a rather special one and it’s lovely to have been welcomed in with open arms šŸ’›

It’s still sinking in that I can now add this beautiful string to my bow and hopefully share more classes and 1:1s with my lovely clients and whoever wants to try yoga!
It’s truly saved me from the inside out, helped to realign my body and mind and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who feels a bit stuck, overwhelmed, stressed or tired.

Huge thanks to my teacher Lisa Roberts & Co for the full fat training that I’m sure I will still be digesting for many years to come! šŸ’›āœØ

New year, new balms!!

I hope you’re easing into 2025 and keeping cosy!

I had my first day back in the therapy room last week and it was a joy to treat lovely clients and fill the air with aromatic essential oils again 🄰

One of my fave treatments to give is The Aromatherapy Facial and the other day, I got to use my brand new homemade cleansing balms! Their aromas were dreamy and the balms made my client’s face GLOW✨

The Lavender & Lemon cleansing balm has a blend of natural butters, waxes and oils that help to cleanse and comfort the skin with their antibacterial and hydrating properties. It smells so soft and fresh and prepares the skin for the following exfoliation and massage.

The Rose, Geranium & Chamomile Polishing Balm feels amazing on the skin. I have blended oils and waxes to condition the skin with the addition of natural kaolin clay and chamomile flowers that gently buff and polish away dry skin. This reveals even more of a GLOWāœØā˜ŗļø with skin feeling super soft and smooth.

The next stage is applying either a clay based mask to calm and decongest or if the skin is on the drier side, a soothing treatment to nourish and restore hydration. All balms and masks are removed with warm, comforting towels and Bulgarian rose water for a little bit of lux!

Then it’s onto the massage (my favourite part!) using a natural base oil and essential oils to suit the skin which helps the mind to unwind as tension is released on the face, neck, shoulders and head 😌

Need I say more….

Definitely one to try if your skin is needing some TLC and to soothe away those January blues.
