"Liquified"
"Like marshmallow"
"I'm so relaxed I feel like I'm levitating off the couch"

Some of my favourite comments from clients at the end of their treatment ✨

If you’re feeling zapped, overstretched, and one more "whats-for-dinner" from snapping, your body is telling you it needs a pause.

I’d love to help you find that lightness again. You can book a tailored treatment with me through the link in my bio whenever you’re ready to prioritise yourself 😉

Lately it seems like every set of shoulders on my couch are the same: tense, tight, hunched, and aiming to be your latest pair of earrings. Your scalp is tight and there’s often a headache lurking too.

Posture absolutely plays a part, but when you’re holding on to emotions, anxiety and the general weight of the world your muscles can lock up tight.

Obviously I’d love to see you on my treatment couch, but in the meantime you can try these:

✨ Place your forearms on a door frame and lean your body weight onto them (slowly and within tolerance – we’re not bench-pressing here!) This can help with reversing stress-induced slouching.

✨ Take two deep breaths in through your nose (one deep breath followed by another quick), then exhale slowly through your mouth. Doing this 3 times sends a signal to your body to release tension allowing your shoulders to drop.
Save this post for the next time your shoulder aches just won’t quit… or, ya know, you can come see me 😉

Taking on everyone else’s emotions. Trying to fix people who won’t take responsibility for their own lives. Then wondering why your chest feels tight for no reason.

Oestrogen and progesterone drop through perimenopause and menopause, and that shows up as tightness, heaviness, and overwhelm — physically, emotionally, mentally, all at once.

It isn’t your job to fix anyone. Boundaries are allowed. Protecting yourself comes first.

This isn’t about someone going through a hard time. It’s about carrying responsibility for someone else’s choices when they won’t carry it themselves. Those are two different things.

You caught your reflection and thought, when did my skin get this dry.

It's not your routine. Oestrogen helps skin hold moisture and make collagen. When it drops through perimenopause, your skin changes with it — thinner, drier, tired-looking even after a good sleep.

Try this: using the backs of your hands, a gua sha tool, or a jade roller, stroke upward across your cheeks and forehead, morning or evening. No serum required, though you can add one.

If your skin feels like one more job on your list, a facial treatment can support it properly.

Well, I fumbled!

Whilst messaging a friend to congratulate her on celebrating 8 years of her business, I had a thought!

Last month it popped in my head that August would have been a year since I started The Pause Room. I made a mental note (big mistake - that thought clearly got filed with all the other lost thoughts) to check. And promptly forgot.

Anyhoo, after messaging my friend I looked through my diary and lo and behold - today is the 1 year anniversary!

Starting a business is never smooth sailing, I know that well enough from my salon owner days, and this past year has absolutely been a challenge with outside commitments, holidays, Christmas, jury service and then supporting my partner through his surgery and the passing of his mum.

But, here we are - I made it. And I’m so happy I stuck with it. And mostly I’m so happy that you, my lovely clients stuck with me too. Without you The Pause Room wouldn’t exist.

A year ago I had no idea if this would work. If a small treatment room built entirely around menopause would actually find the people who needed it. It did, and that's down to every woman who's walked through the door and trusted me with an hour of her time.

In the treatment room, you've trusted and believed in me. Outside of it, my partner and our blended families have kicked me up the arse when doubt set in.

Here's to year two.

(And keep an eye on this space - something new is coming to the treatment room in September. 👀)
