Industry professionals, I need a moment of your time!

We spend our days supporting the wellbeing of others… but how often do we talk about the wellbeing of those providing the care?

As I prepare for my talk at I’m gathering insights through a survey from therapists, trainers, educators, spa leaders and wellness practitioners to better understand the realities of working in our industry today.

💭 What are the biggest challenges you’re facing?
💭 What support do you need?
💭 How can we better care for those who care for others?

The survey is completely anonymous and takes just 2–3 minutes to complete, I would be so grateful for your time and thoughts.

Your voice will help shape an important conversation around mental, emotional and professional wellbeing within the wellness industry.

sent me this brill little device to try in my massage treatments, the Mini Scraper

I’ve only been using it for a short time, but first impressions are really positive.

I think it’s particularly effective on smaller muscle group, especially the shoulders, neck, and calves. I have also used it on the feet before reflexology sessions, which has been a nice addition.

I especially like is how portable it is and how easily it integrates into my massage treatments.

I’ll report back in a couple of weeks with a full follow-up on how it performs in sessions.

As we kick off Mental Health Awareness Week, I wanted to take a moment to highlight this important difference with the language we use around Mental Health and Mental Illness.

Whether you’re struggling with your Mental Health, or with a Mental Illness…you deserve the support you need.

Take action this week and reach out to someone, because we all need help and support when we’re struggling.

Places you can reach out to for support…

You may have seen on .uk - I’ve published my first open letter. I’m urging policy makers and Social prescribers to recognise Massage Therapy as a treatment for Mental Health conditions.

This letter has the endorsement of Dr Joanne Smith, GP and Helen Farrell BA (Hons) Psychotherapist.

I’ve spent nearly 4 years running my campaign, pushing to help people understand Mental Health conditions from a physical perspective. I’m also wanting to get the recognition we as an industry deserve for the impact our work can have on people struggling with their Mental Health. We can all have such a positive impact, and it’s something I will always push.

Beyond Talk; The Case for Massage Therapy in Mental Health Policy

The letter outlines how symptoms such as chronic muscle tension, sleep disruption, fatigue, nervous system dysregulation and pain are often left untreated within current conventional care models, and it highlights with research showing that massage therapy can:

* Lower cortisol levels (the body’s primary stress hormone)
* Increase serotonin and dopamine linked to mood regulation
* Activate the parasympathetic nervous system
* Improve sleep quality and reduce physical tension

The letter also calls for

- Official recognition of massage therapy within social prescribing
- Funding for pilot programmes integrating therapists into primary care
- Further research into cost-effectiveness
- Inclusion of massage in return-to-work support strategies

I’ve also highlighted an existing complementary therapy pilot in Kensington and Chelsea as an example of how massage can support mental health recovery, improve confidence and reduce reliance on GP services.
