My Facial Cupping treatment has had a beautiful upgrade! 💜

I’ve enhanced and extended this treatment to create a wonderfully relaxing 75-minute facial ritual, combining skincare, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, facial cupping and soothing relaxation techniques.

Your treatment begins with a gentle cleanse and exfoliation to freshen and prepare the skin.

This is followed by 15 minutes of Facial Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), using gentle, rhythmic movements to encourage lymphatic flow and help reduce the appearance of facial puffiness.

Next, enjoy 30 minutes of Facial Cupping. Gentle suction and flowing movements are used across the face, neck and décolletage to stimulate circulation, support lymphatic drainage and ease facial tension, helping your complexion look fresh and revitalised.

A deeply hydrating Hyaluronic Face Mask is then applied to replenish moisture and leave the skin feeling beautifully soft, smooth and hydrated.

And while your mask is working its magic, there’s no waiting around, simply close your eyes and drift away with a relaxing scalp massage. 💆‍♀️

To finish, soothing Ice Globes are gently glided over the skin for a wonderfully cool and refreshing sensation, followed by moisturiser to hydrate and nourish.

✨ Your New & Improved Facial includes:
Cleanse • Gentle Exfoliation • 15-minute Facial MLD • 30-minute Facial Cupping • Hyaluronic Face Mask • Scalp Massage • Cooling Ice Globes • Moisturiser

A gorgeous 75 minutes of skincare and relaxation, designed to leave you feeling completely relaxed while your skin feels hydrated, refreshed and cared for.

Relax • Rebalance • Rejuvenate

✨ RELAXATION DOESN’T HAPPEN BY CHANCE…
IT HAPPENS BY APPOINTMENT ✨

Life gets busy, and it’s so easy to put yourself at the bottom of the list. But taking time out to rest, relax and recharge isn’t a luxury — it’s an important part of looking after yourself. 🌿

At Balancing Touch Complementary Therapies, my treatments are all about slowing things down, easing away stress and tension, and giving your mind and body some much-needed time to switch off. 💜

👂✨ WHAT ARE EAR SEEDS?

You may have heard me mention Ear Seeds before, and some of my clients will already have experienced them as part of my Menopause and Fibrotherapy Massage treatments.

But what exactly are they? 🤔

Ear seeds are used in auricular acupressure, a gentle, non-invasive complementary therapy that involves applying tiny seeds or beads to specific points on the outer ear.

🌿 No needles. No piercing of the skin.

Auricular therapy is based on the traditional concept that the ear acts as a microsystem of the body, with different points on the ear corresponding to different areas and functions.

Ear seeds have their roots in traditional acupressure practices, where seeds from the Vaccaria plant were traditionally used. Today, ear seeds can also be made from materials such as metal, ceramic or crystal.

👂 So what happens during a treatment?

Tiny ear seeds are placed over carefully selected acupressure points and secured with a small adhesive patch.

The seeds can then be gently pressed at intervals, stimulating the chosen points. They can remain in place for several days, meaning that little element of your treatment can continue after you’ve left the treatment room. ✨

There are many different auricular points and combinations traditionally used according to a person’s individual needs.

Some of the areas auricular acupressure is commonly explored for include:

🌸 Relaxation & stress
🌸 Sleep & rest
🌸 Menopause wellbeing
🌸 Emotional wellbeing
🌸 Tension & discomfort
🌸 Fatigue & mental exhaustion
🌸 General balance & wellbeing

Would you like to experience Ear Seeds as part of your treatment? 👂✨

I already incorporate ear seeds into my Menopause Massage and Fibrotherapy Massage, and I’ll soon be introducing them into more of my treatments where appropriate.

Your ear seeds can be selected according to your individual wellbeing needs, making them a lovely personalised finishing touch to your treatment. 💜

🌿 To book a treatment at Balancing Touch Complementary Therapies, simply send me a message or WhatsApp me on 07506485678

Not sure which treatment would be best for you? Just drop me a message and I’ll be happy to help you choose.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll also be sharing more about the fascinating world of Ear Seeds & Auricular Acupressure, including some of the different points and how they are traditionally used.

🌼 AROMATHERAPY MENOPAUSE MASSAGE
TREATMENTS 🌼

📍 Balancing Touch Complementary Therapies
49 Commercial Street, Risca, NP11 6AW

Menopause and perimenopause can bring many changes — physically, mentally and emotionally.

Hot flushes, disrupted sleep, anxiety, low mood, fatigue, changes in libido and simply feeling unlike yourself can all make this stage of life feel overwhelming at times.

My Menopause Massage treatments have been created to provide a calm, nurturing space where you can switch off, slow down and take some much-needed time for yourself. 💜

Using gentle light-to-medium pressure, relaxing massage techniques, gentle acupressure to carefully selected points traditionally used to support women during perimenopause and menopause, and carefully selected essential oils, each treatment is designed to encourage deep relaxation, ease tension and support your overall sense of wellbeing.

🌿 MENOPAUSE TREATMENTS

Back, Neck & Shoulder Aromatherapy Massage
30 minutes • £35

Back, Neck & Shoulder Massage plus Menopause Foot Reflexology
75 minutes • £65

Full body Menopause Massage

🌸 ESSENTIAL OILS FOR MENOPAUSE
WELLBEING

Rather than simply choosing an oil because you like the fragrance, we can select an aromatherapy blend to complement how you’re feeling on the day.

NEROLI
A beautiful citrus-floral oil particularly suited to times of emotional change. Its soothing aroma can help create a sense of calm and emotional wellbeing.

LAVENDER
One of the most loved relaxation oils. Lavender is wonderfully calming and is ideal when stress, irritability or difficulty switching off are affecting you.

CLARY SAGE
A popular choice during the menopause years, with a warm, herbaceous aroma. Particularly lovely when you’re feeling tense, emotionally unsettled or in need of relaxation.

YLANG YLANG
Sweet, exotic and deeply relaxing. Ylang ylang is a lovely choice for helping you slow down, unwind and release some of the stresses of everyday life.

GERANIUM
With its beautiful floral aroma, geranium is often chosen during times of change. Its uplifting yet soothing fragrance makes it a lovely addition to a menopause aromatherapy blend.

JUNIPER BERRY
Fresh and cleansing, juniper berry can be incorporated into a blend when you’re looking for something refreshing and revitalising.

PEPPERMINT
Cooling, fresh and invigorating. Peppermint may be particularly appealing when you’re feeling hot, tired or mentally fatigued, although it isn’t suitable for everyone and will only be used where appropriate.

💜 MORE THAN JUST A MASSAGE

My menopause treatments aren’t about deep pressure or working painfully into muscles.

They are about giving your body and mind permission to slow down.

A chance to rest.
A chance to breathe.
A chance to switch off from everything else for a little while.

My aim is to create a deeply relaxing treatment that supports the nervous system, encourages rest and leaves you feeling calmer, restored and rebalanced.

Because sometimes, during menopause, what we need most is simply some time to be looked after. 🌿

📣 IMPORTANT BOOKING UPDATE – FROM
1ST OCTOBER 💜

I just wanted to let all my lovely clients know about a small change to the way appointments will be booked at Balancing Touch Complementary Therapies.

From 1st October, I will be switching off my Fresha online booking facility. I will still be using Fresha on a limited basis to manage my diary and to send appointment confirmations and reminders, so you may still receive messages from Fresha regarding your appointment.

🌿 What will change?

From 1st October:

💜 All appointments will need to be booked directly through me by message, phone or in person.

💜 My usual 20% non-refundable deposit will still be required to secure your appointment.

💜 Deposits will now be paid by bank transfer directly to my business account. I will provide the bank details when your appointment is arranged.

⏰ The usual 48-hour timeframe for payment of your deposit will remain in place. Your appointment will be held for 48 hours from the time of booking. If the deposit has not been received within this timeframe, the appointment will be cancelled and made available for someone else to book.

💜 You will still receive your usual appointment confirmation and reminder through Fresha.

This change simply allows me to reduce some of the increasing costs associated with online booking platforms while still keeping the parts of the system that are useful for managing appointments.

As a small independent business, keeping unnecessary costs down really does make a difference. 💜

Thank you, as always, for your understanding and for continuing to support Balancing Touch Complementary Therapies. 🌿

💜 More Than Just a Treatment… It’s Time for You

At Balancing Touch Complementary Therapies, my treatments have always been about more than simply easing tired muscles.

My aim is to create a space where you can slow down, switch off and truly relax, something many of us simply don’t do enough of.

I don’t offer deep tissue massage, and that’s very much intentional. My treatments focus on gentle to medium pressure, deep relaxation and supporting the body’s own natural ability to restore and rebalance itself.

When we’re constantly busy, stressed or worrying, our bodies can spend far too much time in “fight or flight" mode. Taking time to relax isn’t an indulgence, it’s an important part of looking after ourselves.

Through treatments such as holistic and aromatherapy massage, reflexology, hot stone treatments, Indian head massage, relaxing facials and my specialised therapies, I want to help you step away from everyday life for a little while.

A chance to quieten your mind.
To release some of that built-up tension.
To breathe a little deeper.
To feel cared for.
And, most importantly, to simply be. 💜

You don’t need to wait until you’re exhausted or overwhelmed before you make time for yourself.

Self-care can be preventative too.

Whether you have 30 minutes or an hour, my treatment room is a place where there’s no rushing and no pressure. Just warmth, calm and treatments tailored to what you need that day.

✨ Relax • Restore • Rebalance ✨

Because sometimes the most productive thing you can do for yourself is stop… and rest. 💜
