A little life & business update 🤍

I’ve reached a point in my life where I’m naturally entering a slower season. 🐢🐌

My husband & I have experienced so many life-changing milestones recently. We’re newly married, we’ve just enjoyed a beautiful honeymoon together, we’ve both started new chapters in our careers, and we’re hoping to follow our dreams of starting a family 🔐💞

As Gav and I think about the future, I know I want to become a mum one day (something I never, ever thought I’d say). Managing PMDD alongside working two jobs has made me realise just how important it is to reduce the pressure I place on myself and prioritise my own wellbeing.

I’ve also realised that you can have lots of dreams. But you can’t always pursue them all at the same time. Sometimes, one dream simply has to wait while another takes centre stage 💭

So, after a lot of reflection, I’ve decided it’s time to step back from my business for a little while.

This isn’t goodbye, and it isn’t forever. I’m simply pressing pause ⏯️

Over the past four & a half years, I’ve never truly switched off. I’ve said I was taking a break, but I still saw my regular clients because I love you all so much! This time, I’m giving myself permission to actually rest.

I have poured so much of myself into my clients, my business, my studies & ultimately my career as a complementary healthcare practitioner and I wouldn’t change a single second of it 🥺

To every person who trusted me with your wellbeing, thank you. I’ll always carry those moments and your trust with me 🙏

Through building this business & supporting other women I’ve learned so much about myself.

I’ve learned that wellbeing is interconnected with every aspect of our lives.

✨Success, to me, is building a life that feels peaceful, meaningful & sustainable✨

A life where my wellbeing doesn’t have to be sacrificed in the pursuit of achievement, but is protected because I’ve finally realised it’s the foundation for everything else.

Because I’ve learned that slowing down isn’t the opposite of success. Sometimes, it’s what makes success possible in the first place.

I’m so grateful & I have been so blessed. Thank you ❤️❤️

My business isn’t built on hustle culture.

And it never will be.

Living with PMDD means I’ve had to learn how to become much more intentional about how I run my business and manage my energy.

I space my clients out strategically. I protect my diary. I honour my boundaries.

Not because I’m lazy.

Not because I’m not ambitious.

But because I’ve experienced burnout before and I have absolutely no desire to go back there 🙅🏻‍♀️

People ask me a lot, “Are you busy?”

I used to tense up when I got asked that because I felt like people wouldn’t understand that being ‘booked and busy’ isn’t how I measure success.

My diary fills up 🗓️✅

But I choose not to fill every available hour.

I choose to leave breathing space. 🫁🧠

Space to rest. Space to reset. Space to be present with each client. Space to look after my own wellbeing too. 🪷

Because if I’m encouraging women to prioritise their nervous system, rest and boundaries, then I need to be willing to do the same.

So if my business grows a little differently because I’m protecting my wellbeing?

I’m okay with that. I’m also a firm believer that the right clients find me when they need me 🙏

I don’t believe in forcing things or constantly chasing more.

What’s meant for me won’t pass me by, and the women who will benefit from my work will find their way to my treatment table when the time is right.🤍✨

A little menu refresh ✨

I’ve been thinking a lot about how I want Shannon’s Self Care Retreat to feel going forward — for my clients, but also for me.

I’ve simplified my mobile treatment menu so it feels clearer + more aligned with the way I love to work.

My treatments are centred around therapeutic rest, nervous system care and deep relaxation — from a focused Back, Neck & Shoulder Reset to my full 90-minute Signature Self Care Ritual.

I’ll be keeping my diary a little more spacious, because rest, boundaries and protecting your energy are things I truly believe in — and I want my business values to reflect that too.

Living with a condition like PMDD means I have to be much more intentional with how I run my business sustainably and how I space my appointments out each month.

💆🏻‍♀️Specialising in therapeutic rest and nervous system care for women

Available mobile treatments:

✨ Back, Neck & Shoulder Reset
✨ Bespoke Aromatherapy Massage
✨ Clinical Reflexology
✨ Holistic Facial
✨ The Self Care Ritual

Mobile appointments available across South Wales.

If you’re unsure what to book, just send me a message and I’ll help you choose the treatment that feels most supportive for you 🤍

PS. Swipe for a lovely review from a client who rebooked straight away after her first treatment and has continued to book every month with her husband, supporting my little business for the past 3 years 🥹🤍

From bride mode… back to therapist mode 😂🤍

The wedding whirlwind is officially over and I’m so happy to say I’m now back open for bookings again ✨

After planning a wedding in 12 weeks, getting married, juggling life/work and trying to keep my nervous system somewhat regulated through it all 😂… I had to take a little step back from business for a while which I focused on such a special and beautiful chapter of life.

Now that the confetti has settled, I’m so excited to welcome clients back and get back to doing what I love most 🫶

Home visit Appointments are now open again for:
✨ Clinical Aromatherapy
✨ Reflexology
✨ Massage Treatments
✨ Holistic Facials

Thank you so much to everyone who has been patient, supportive and understanding during this crazy season of life 🤍

Message me to book ✨

A little life update 🤍

As many of you know, I’m getting married very soon 👰🏻‍♀️✨ and with everything that comes with that, I’ve made the decision to pause all my bookings for a short while leading up to the wedding.

I also want to be open and share that I’ve been struggling recently with PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), which can really impact my mood, energy and overall wellbeing. Wedding planning is crazy - let alone doing it in 12 weeks as a perfectionist with a creative side 🎨.

As someone who holds space for others, it’s really important to me that I’m able to show up feeling grounded, present and able to give you the best possible experience — and right now, taking some time to rest and reset feels like the right thing to do 🪷🤍

PMDD is starting to become more recognised but as its a big part of my life, it’s important for me to make sure that I raise awareness through my platform and advocate for women’s health. Especially as my client group are primarily women and I am surrounded every day by incredible and supportive women that inspire me.

I’ll be back taking bookings after the wedding, feeling more like myself again and ready to see your wonderful faces ✨

Thank you all so much for your kindness, ongoing support and understanding — it truly means the world 🤍

Let me ask you a question… 🤍

When was the last time you actually took time to fully relax?

Not scrolling.
Not watching TV.
Not multitasking.

Just lying down, breathing, and letting someone take care of you for an hour.

If your answer is “too long ago”… I’ve got you ✨

I’m currently taking bookings for mobile treatments.

🪷 Massage • Bespoke Aromatherapy • Reflexology • Holistic Facials 🪷

Send me a message if you’d like to book 🤍

Ps. A little life update… I’m getting married in 7 weeks 👰🏻‍♀️ and will be taking around 2–3 weeks off after the wedding, so if you’ve been thinking about booking a treatment before then, now is the perfect time ✨
