Green Room Therapies

16/06/2026

I got back on Sunday from a lovely long weekend in Palma with my girl friends. Sunshine, laughter, good food, and the rare opportunity to remember who I am outside of work and parenting.

In fact, it may well have been my last proper bit of “me time” until September.

Because yesterday my eldest also finished his final GCSE exam and, somewhere between unpacking my suitcase and putting a wash on, I had a sudden realisation: for the next three months I will no longer just be a therapist, business owner, wife and mum…

I will be a taxi driver.

The exams are over, school is finished (for at least one of my brood!), and apparently every teenager’s social life now requires transportation at all hours of the day. Add in work appointments, family commitments and the small matter of Results Day, and the summer diary is looking... busy.

As parents, we spend years helping our children prepare for big transitions. We talk about managing stress, coping with change and embracing new opportunities. What nobody really prepares us for is the strange mix of pride, relief, excitement and mild panic that comes with watching them take their next steps towards adulthood.

It’s a reminder that transitions affect all of us. Even positive changes can bring uncertainty, shifting routines and unexpected emotions.

So while I prepare for a summer of chauffeuring, calendar juggling and hearing “Can you just drop me off...” more times than I can count, I’m also reminding myself of something I often discuss with clients: when life gets busy, don’t stop looking for the moments that refill your own cup.

They might not be a long weekend in Palma. They might be a quiet coffee, a walk, a moment with a book, an hour on the Green Room Therapies couch, or simply saying no to something.

Because if the next three months are anything like I’m imagining, I’m going to need all the refuelling I can get.

Now, if anyone needs me, I’ll be checking my fuel gauge and wondering whether I should charge my teenager by the mile.

See you on the other side!

☀️Summer Bookings☀️… Featuring One Peacock and a David Attenborough Tribute🦚
Inside Green Room Therapies…Picture the scene:

Last night, the evening sun was streaming gently through the window… calm music floating through the room… the heated blanket warm and welcoming… candles flickering like they were auditioning for a relaxation commercial.
It was the perfect setting for a serene therapy session.
And then—
Tap. Tap. TAP.
Outside the therapy room a peacock with the confidence of a creature who clearly believed he had a standing appointment.
In honour of David Attenborough’s 100th birthday, imagine the moment narrated in that iconic voice:
“Here, in the quiet dusk, we witness the majestic male peacock… patiently awaiting his turn for holistic pampering. A rare and determined creature, he knows that summer sessions are in high demand… and he, too, must book early.”

Now, while the peacock may be willing to loiter outside the door with regal persistence, my diary is a little less flexible. So here’s your friendly (and faintly bird-related) reminder:
✨ Plan your summer appointments ahead! ✨
Current availability:
June: 1 appointment left
July: 7 available
August: just 3 remaining
If you’d like your moment of peace, calm, and candlelit bliss — ideally without having to compete with a dramatic peacock — now’s the time to secure your spot.
Your future relaxed self will thank you. 💚

First thing this morning at my sink … and it feels very fitting after yesterday morning. A prospective client tried to reach me (5 missed calls) and couldn’t get through, and it reminded me how much people sometimes really need my attention — a bit like a peacock in full display.

If you’ve ever seen a peacock trying to be noticed, you’ll know subtlety is not their strong point. They strut, they shimmer, they call out… and suddenly you’re very aware they’re there.
It made me smile, because I imagine that’s exactly how some of you feel when the phone rings and I’m in treatment — doing the full feather-fan dance and still not being seen.

The truth is: when I’m with a client, I’m completely present with them, which means I can’t take calls. I know this can be disappointing or frustrating, especially when you’re trying to book or ask something quickly.

But please don’t worry — you never have to resort to the peacock approach.
You can always WhatsApp, message, or email me at [email protected].
I will always respond as soon as I’m free.

Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and your beautifully persistent “peacock energy.” 🦚💚 👣

🌿 The Aftermath… ✂️🐑🦙
Remember those fluffy little speedsters who came running over last week?
Well… the deed is done.
The winter coats are off, the spring look is on, and the field is now full of animals who appear to be 50% lighter and 100% more offended.
They may look a little… streamlined… but don’t worry, their personalities are still fully intact.
(Their fluff, however, is not.)
There’s something very symbolic about this time of year—
letting go of what we don’t need anymore, even if we protest all the way to the shears.
So here they are in all their freshly-sheared glory.
The view from Green Room Therapies is looking a bit less woolly this week,
but just as peaceful as ever. 🌱✨
Hope it brings you a smile today! 👣

🌱 Back After the Easter Break! 🐣
Hope everyone had a lovely Easter and managed to enjoy a bit of rest (and maybe a little too much chocolate!).
Today is technically my day off… but as you can see from this video, the fluffy crew are charging over to greet me like I’m bringing treats and good news.
Do they know what’s ahead?
Absolutely not.
Because today is shearing day. ✂️
There’s a certain irony in being greeted like a hero by a group who are about to lose their winter wardrobes… I’m not sure I’ve got the heart to tell them just yet.
So if things look a little less fluffy around Green Room Therapies next week, you’ll know why—but I promise the view will still be just as lovely (just a bit more streamlined!).

✨ Post-Treatment Tip: Activate Your Platysma for a Sculpted Jawline ✨
As we age, the platysma muscle — the long, thin sheet running from the jawline down the neck — can begin to tighten or sag, leading to platysmal bands and a softer jawline.
After your Zone Face Lift treatment, a little gentle activation helps keep everything lifted, toned, and mobile.
✨ A simple daily technique to keep the neck supple, defined, and glowing between treatments.

This week has offered me one of my favourite quiet compliments…
Two clients fell asleep during their treatments.

One was completely new to Green Room Therapies — seated, fully upright, receiving an Indian Head Massage. Not exactly the position you’d expect someone to drift off in! But there they were, breathing softly, head heavy, feeling safe enough in a brand-new environment to let go completely.

And today, a long-standing client — someone I know well, someone who tries to relax but whose nervous system likes to keep one foot on the accelerator — melted into sleep during their Zone Face Lift. For them, that’s huge. It means the body finally felt held, the mind finally stopped negotiating, and their whole system slipped into genuine rest.

These moments remind me why I do this.
Why the atmosphere, the comfort, the grounding energy of the room matters just as much as the treatment itself.

At Green Room Therapies, the space is created intentionally: soft enough for your shoulders to drop, safe enough for your breath to deepen, and supportive enough that your nervous system recognises, it can just stop now.

Sleep during a treatment isn’t an interruption — it’s a sign.
A sign your body is recalibrating.
A sign your system feels nurtured.
A sign you’re exactly where you need to be.

Here’s to more naps, more letting go, and more moments where your whole self finally feels the exhale.

🌿 Happy Mother’s Day 🌿

To the mums who moonlight as taxi drivers, rugby-sideline screamers, life advisors, emergency bank managers (with zero-interest loans), morning car-karaoke lead vocalists, and reluctant drumming audiences (just me?) — we salute you. 🚗🏉🎶💸

And to those who nurture in other ways, who care deeply, who support, guide, love, or for whom today is sensitive — we’re thinking of you, too.

However this day meets you, may it bring a smile, a breath, or at least five minutes of peace. 💚

And if you’ve been gifted a GRTs treatment voucher — I can’t wait to look after you. And if not… treat yourself anyway! Here’s a pic of my lovely mum as my kids avoid the camera! 😅❤️🌿✨
